After 25 years in business, he uncovered a radical truth: most pain, mental illness, sickness, and trauma aren't rooted in physical or emotional causes, but in the spiritual realm. By identifying and removing the specific spiritual roots behind these struggles, he's helped over1,000 people find freedom from things like chronic pain, anxiety, addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even bipolar disorder—issues that medical science often can't resolve. Once the root is gone, the problem typically disappears in less than 24 hours—with a documented 90% success rate. Beatty outlines this simple, step-by-step method in his book, The Prayer of Freedom, available at www.ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com. Today, he'll expose why so many people stay stuck—and how anyone can experience real, lasting healing by targeting the root issue most others overlook. http://ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com  “To get freedom in your life, get a copy of The Prayer of Freedom today.

Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic [00:01:00] violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Hello everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. Last time we were talking with my guest, Beatty Carmichael. He has his book that we are talking about. We were talking about his book, the Prayer of Freedom, and he's developed a way of praying for healing where God answers. Those prayers 87% of the time. So if you were here last time, you know that he is a dynamic speaker. He has, shown us a lot of things so far and I want to give him as much time as [00:02:00] possible to, to continue to share with us how we can incorporate this into. Healing again, I'm gonna mention for the second time, this is, not a replacement for medical treatment. Please, incorporate this in with your physician, your psychiatrist, your pharmacist. Do not discontinue any medications or stop any treatments without the advice of your medical team. I'm not gonna go into Beatty's bio once again for time's sake. But if you did not listen to part one, please go back and listen to the previous episode so you get a full picture. There's a lot of information that you don't wanna miss, and so we're gonna jump right in here to. Part two of my conversation with Beatie Carmichael. Enjoy. So let's assume that we have some atheists on your com, on your podcast as well. You don't have to believe it to try it, [00:03:00] right. That's the key. Um, I don't believe putting gas in my car is gonna make it run, but I'll try it and it runs. Or the doctor gives me, uh, some medicine. I've been having this chronic issue for years and he said, try this. It'll take it away in two days. I don't believe it, but it doesn't matter if I believe it, if it's based on science. If I take the medicine, it's going to clear that issue up in two days, whether I believe it or not. And so that's the way. So I would challenge any atheist on this one, right on this prayer approach. Tell God, God, I don't believe you. I don't even believe you exist. You're gonna have to prove it. I'm gonna follow this process, but know that I don't even believe you exist. So these are just words coming outta my mouth and see what happens. I am definitely gonna send my atheist friends this conversation. Good. You know, I'll let you know what [00:04:00] happens. Well then if you're gonna send your atheist friends this conversation, can I role play with you the prayer that I would have them pray so now they can follow this conversation and actually do it on their own and see if there's a Absolutely. Okay. Perfect. So let me ask you a couple of questions. Diana, do you have right now. Any pain, any uh, anything going on that you can feel and measure, like de depression or anxiety, migraine, anything that doesn't work, like your right arm doesn't work, or you have glaucoma in your left eye or anything like that? Uh, yeah, my feet hurt today. Okay. And, uh, right now, do they hurt when you're sitting like you are, or do you have to stand up for them to hurt more? No, they're when I'm up moving around and doing things. Okay. But you can feel them right now with pain, right? Yes. Okay. On a scale of zero to 10, 10 being worse, what pain level [00:05:00] would you give it? Mm, right now it's a three. Okay, perfect. So what I wanna do is I wanna lead you into a short prayer. You just repeat after me. I'm gonna use the word God only. We're not gonna use any other deity names. Uh. For the sake of anyone else that may be listening, that may not be a Christian, but they may be a Buddhist or whatever. Okay? And while this works, I will state that I believe it works because of the God of the Bible and there's some very clear reasons why, but he doesn't care what you call him because he is still the God of the Bible. So we're gonna take that premise. And what I'm gonna do, Diane, is I'm gonna lead you in this prayer. For your atheist friends and also for the audience that's listening to this, I want you to assess, do you have any pain, any anxiety, any depression, anything going on that you would like God to heal if God really existed? And if yes, go on and label it on a zero to 10 [00:06:00] scale with 10 being worse, what number it is, and then just repeat after me as I go through this. Now, Diana, what I'm gonna do with you. Is there's gonna be a part where you're going to repeat out whatever the Lord's putting on your mind of sins to confess. I'm gonna have you mute your microphone so that we're not airing dirty laundry, okay? Uh, that way there's no restriction for whatever the Lord's putting on your heart. So this is what I call a four step prayer. This is just the beginning of the full thing of the prayer freedom. So it goes like this. A repeat after me. Uh, Diana, uh, dear God. Dear God, if you exist, I want you to prove it to me. If you exist, I want you to prove it to me. I have this issue I want you to get rid of. I have this issue I want you to get rid of, and then you would name it for you would be the pain in my foot, right? Yes. The pain in my foot. Okay. [00:07:00] I ask that you would remind me and put in my mind. I ask that you would remind me and put in my mind any sin I need to repent of against you, any sin that I would need to repent against you or any person I need to forgive or any person I need to forgive and I commit that I will repent or forgive them and I commit that I'll repent and forgive them. Perfect. Now put your, uh, go on mute so that no one can hear anything. So now what you want to do, anything that the Lord may be putting on your mind. If it was a sin, and for people who don't know, all that means is you know you did something wrong. Okay, so the words are I repent of blank. I repent of stealing the money. If you stole the money with someone, I repent of stealing the money with Tom. Always put the person's name. If you don't remember the person's name, [00:08:00] I repent of stealing the money with the guy in the blue hat. Just whatever the description was. If God is putting in your mind someone to forgive. You're going to say, I forgive Tom for what he said. I forgive. Blank for blank. Okay. So go on and do that, Diana. And then when you finish, unmute yourself. That's right. But that's where the mouth readers good. Good job for the audio listener. She's got her hand over her mouth so we can't read her lips. And for the audio listeners, y'all would be going through the same prayer yourself, repenting and forgiving. Okay. My list is short, so Perfect. Good. Alright. Now I'm assuming it probably included someone's name somewhere along the way. Right. Okay, perfect. So now we'll continue and I break all unholy soul ties with, I Break All Unholy Soul ties with. I release all judgements [00:09:00] against, I release all judgements against and break any unholy blood contracts. I'll guide, I'll you what these are in a moment and break any unholy blood contracts, blood contracts with with those names. I have called out with those names. I've called out and now God and now God. I ask that you take all my, for you pain in my feet away. I ask that you take, um, the pain in my feet away, take it from a three to a zero, take it from a three to a zero, and now I speak to the pain that's in my feet. Now I speak to the pain that's in my feet and in the name of Almighty God. In the name of Almighty God, I command you to leave. I command you to leave. Get out now. Get out now. Now test it out and see if it's still a three [00:10:00] or is it changed? I would not say it's a three anymore. Can you feel it at all? I would say it's a one. Perfect. It's not a three. Alright. So definitely, definitely an improvement. So it dropped by two thirds simply by saying that one prayer, which is repenting. So now we're gonna push it all the way up. 'cause I find you have to do it about three times. We don't do the whole prayer again. All we do is the last part. So let me guide you, God, I ask that you take this all the way out right now. Ask you to take this all the way out right now, and I speak to the pain and I command you all the way out right now, and I speak to the pain and I command you all the way out right now in the name of Almighty God, in the name of Almighty God. Go from a one to a zero. Go from a one to a zero. All right, now check it out and see if it's still there. Well, [00:11:00] it's, um, zero in the left foot, but I still feel a little bit in the right foot. Yeah, so now we're going to do, do it one more time, but on now, if only for the right foot. God, I ask that you take it all the way out of my right foot. Now, God, I ask you to take this out of my right foot right now. And in Almighty God's name, in Almighty God's name. I speak to the pain in my right foot. I speak to the pain in my right foot, and I command you out right now. And I command you out right now. Be gone. Be gone now. Check it out again. Well, I'm just gonna be honest. Here. Um, please do I hate someone to lie to me. No, I've never that way. I know. I'm just seizing. I I know. I'm just seizing you that it's still in the one on the right foot. Okay. But I still think that's an [00:12:00] improvement over three. Yeah, for sure. It'll probably by the time we finish on our call, I'll probably be gone. But what happens now is demonstrably all you did was a structured prayer. You got a consistent response that I always see. So what that means is there is a, some spiritual law that this is plugging into and that spiritual law always works. Uh, no, excuse me. I found that for me about nine outta 10 times, it works okay. There's some things that it doesn't, um, that I can't figure out on a, on a few things. Now, if you have something like multiple sclerosis or stage four cancer. It probably isn't as likely to work as if you just have anxiety or a chronic pain somewhere. Um mm-hmm. You probably won't believe it, but I'll show you the testimony if you wanna watch it. So this was about four, four or five weeks ago. I was over at the Addiction Recovery Center and one of the ladies, uh, had just come out of, shoulder [00:13:00] surgery. And the story is. Three years ago, she had a car accident. She broke her AC and her collarbone, but because she didn't have any insurance, they just gave her a sling, and so she held it in the sling and it sat like that. So she's in excruciating pain with no movement for three years. When she came to the Addiction Recovery Center, they have insurance, so they went to see an orthopedic surgeon. He says, I can fix it, but it's gonna be really invasive. It's gonna hurt. And so he had to drill through the bones, break them apart, reset them and wire them together. And then that's where she was now four weeks post-surgery. So she's in a lot of pain. Arm in the sling. I guided her through the very same prayer. I guided you, God, remind me of things I need to repent of. And then I said, test it out. And she said, well, it doesn't feel as bad. She starts moving it around. I said, see what the range of motion is? So she starts to move it. The whole [00:14:00] range of motion, as she does all the pain, is now gone. She can do the full range of motion with her shoulder on both sides. She stops wearing the sling. And then two weeks later, which is her six week checkup, she goes back to the doctor. He's blown away because she has no pain and not only no pain, she has the full range of motion that she had since before the accident, and he was saying before the surgery it'll take 12 weeks to recover and then a lot of physical therapy to fully get it back in use. Yep. Yet it all happened like that. Why? Because there's spiritual laws that this karma concept, you know, the same concept that we see that people call karma. It's a real concept because there really are consequences to being doing bad things. But what we don't understand sometimes is how those consequences affect us because this was a car accident. So we say it was just a natural cause and effect, but the fact that she [00:15:00] repented of things that God put in her mind, that he said these were bad things that you should not have done, and when she repented the shoulder got healed, tells me. The root of even what happened with the, the car accident and the breaking the shoulder at the car accident was a spiritual root. So once you get rid of the root, you can get rid of the problem. And that's what I'm finding throughout all of this. And it's revolutionizing people from like, just last night I was, uh, doing a podcast with, another lady and I demonstrated this. I said, do you have anything that you can measure? She says, yeah, depression and anxiety. It was like an eight. We went through that very same thing and it all went to zero. She started to cry and then she said, I asked her, how long has she, has she had it? She said, well, you know, I grew up in an abusive family and I've had this since early childhood, and she has adult children now, so all of these years, and it's gone in an instant, [00:16:00] and she starts to cry both with the relief. Also like a friend of mine that I led through the same thing, uh, his dad committed suicide when he was like 11. And then, you know, the whole family dynamic is just full of trauma and all kinds of issues and he's been under this heavy clout. And it wasn't until he went through this process. Now for him it wasn't instantaneous. There was a more gradual over maybe a couple weeks or so for everything to just kind of free up in his life. But he was lamenting saying. I wish I'd known this 34 years ago. You know, how many years of Lost Life has he gone through when he could have gotten free of it had he just known how this worked? So it's really powerful. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I actually work in the orthopedics department. Oh, wow. So this really makes sense to you. Uh, yeah. I was watching the video about the guy he needed a hip replacement. Yeah. And so I thought, oh, [00:17:00] wow, that's, that hits home for sure. I'm always, ripping my rotator cuff. I've, I ripped it three times and had to do all the physical therapy and stuff, so I totally relate to that example that you gave. So can I share something all day? Mm-hmm. Sure. Anytime you see a pattern that keeps repeating itself, like you've ripped your rotator cuff three times, that tells me there's gonna be more than likely, I've got a 90% likelihood that there is a spiritual route. And if you were to go through the full process, so the full process with a prayer freedom is a worksheet in the back that you fill out and it's a memory jogger so that you can cover everything that is potentially possible. If you were to do that, I believe that whatever's going on with that, you'll not tear your rotator cuff again, just that point. Is it? I see the part, yeah. Most [00:18:00] of the time I get it. When I'm doing terrible form on my pushups or I, open the sliding glass door with a bad technique. Yeah, I, so if you're in orthopedics, you know about when you pull a ligament in your thumb, right? Mm-hmm. So I pulled a ligament in my thumb. I'm exercising all the time, so I use dumbbells and, free weights. Mm-hmm. And you have to grip. So as soon as that happened, I can't do any exercise. I can't even grip a five pound dumbbell, and it's going on for a week now. How long does do ligaments normally take to heal? Do you remember? Uh, six weeks at least. Yeah, at least six weeks. And I'm thinking I'm gonna be out of exercise for six weeks. Yeah. And then I said, you know, doctors are usually the last ones to try to apply their own approach to themselves. And I said. I wonder, Lord, if this has a spiritual root, it has a physical cause, right? I was carrying a chair and it twisted [00:19:00] in my arm. That was the physics of it. But is there a spiritual root behind it? So I said, Lord, remind me of any sin I need to repent of that could be tied to this. And he started reminding me of some things from a while back. Um, and I just repented that and, and it still hurt. I said, okay, that must not have been it. I wake up the next morning. It's all gone. So I start testing, I'm lifting heavy weights, and I'm pulling on and trying to pull the, you know, Ooh. And it's totally healed. I'm back to full exercise after only one week, so it even works for me. Wow. Yeah. So it you, the, the chair twisted and pulled it, but it was instantly healed or within a few hours by the next day simply by going through the same process. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind. Next time. Now people are listening and they're probably [00:20:00] wondering when you talk about repenting from, from things you did wrong, do you get any pushback with that? People that they don't want to, deal with what they've done wrong or they're offended that you brought it up or, yeah. Whatever. So, um. Lemme tell you a story to answer your question. There's this lady named Susan, and she had unforgiveness for her sister from about 20 years earlier. Mm-hmm. And for all 20 years, she knew she should forgive, but she was unable and unwilling to because whatever the sister did was just that painful to her. Right. So then she asked me if I would pray for her rheumatoid arthritis because she's had the arthritis for about 15 or 20 years, and that day was flaring up and I asked her, because God prompted me on this one, and I asked her, do you have unforgiveness for anyone? She said, yes, my sister. And I said, would you be willing to forgive her? Now watch this. [00:21:00] She wants to be healed. And so she said, yes. There was no question once there's the potential likelihood that she would be healed if she did it. So I just said, repeat this, God, I repent. I forgive my sister from whatever she did 20 years ago. And then I asked God to take away the pain of her arthritis. So I said, walk up and down the stairs and see if it helps. So she did. And she said, it feels a lot better. I said, okay, great. So I think you'll be good now. She caught it with me five weeks later and said, I wanna tell you the rest of the story. She said, ever since I prayed for her, she'd had no arthritis pain the week before, uh, that she talked with me. So this is now four weeks after I prayed with her. She said, I went back to the doctor and he retested me and says that my body, I have no arthritis in my body. Now. This is rheumatoid arthritis that she'd been diagnosed with 15 years earlier. Mm-hmm. And then she said. The [00:22:00] doctor said that my body shows no signs of ever having had arthritis to begin with. It's almost as if Wow, when, she did what God said to do, which is to forgive, that's a sin. If you don't forgive, then it's almost like God reversed everything. Put it back to normal. That's the same thing that happened with the lady with the shoulder issue. Mm-hmm. She said, my shoulder has a full range of motion as it did before the accident. It's as if it was ma. In fact, I can't show you, but she had a bone protruding right here that the Okay. Orthopedic surgeon couldn't put back in place. And after doing the prayer, the bone doesn't protrude anymore. She showed me a picture, here's what it looked like, and now here's what it is. And I go, wow. So all kinds of things can happen that we have no explanation for, but what I've learned is most people believe there's probably a God and that that God can probably do a miracle anytime he wants. What I find [00:23:00] is he simply does what we can call a miracle quite frequently when we. Go through this process and repent, say, I'm sorry, those things that he tells us to. So I do get pushback except for the people who want to be free of whatever it is they're struggling with. And then I get no pushback. Does that make sense? Well, oh yeah. And it is very much, Bible about the forgiveness. If you have bitterness against somebody and you hold that in your body. Your body feels that, and it, it does and it affects your entire body. It affects your mind when you are just, and you're not willing to move forward and forgive even if the person has asked for forgiveness. I'm sorry. That is, Bible right there that, and it's also if you be willing to forgive, then your body will heal. Yeah, and I was doing some research and science and other [00:24:00] studies, research studies find that between 40 and 60% of all chronic pain has a commonality of unforgiveness and bitterness that those people also carry, and mm-hmm. What I'm finding is if you get rid of that unforgiveness and bitterness, a lot of times that pain disappears. Yeah. Which is a direct cause and effect, right? Mm-hmm. It's a, it's a scientific empirical data. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. It, it work, it happens. And medical science and research is finding that out. Mm, yes. I'm glad that we're on the same page about that. We've talked about a lot of things today and heard some great stories. And, was there anything that, we didn't talk about that you wanted to cover? Without being too unabashedly promoting. I would like to talk about my book. Yes. That has all of the instructions. This is a how to book. It's not a novel, it's a how to book even has, video [00:25:00] excerpts that you can go watch training videos on specific areas if you want more, understanding, but it's called the Prayer of Freedom. Now if you type in the prayer freedom at Amazon, you can get all kinds of any book on prayer and freedom. You'll never find it. So the best way to get it is add the word book at the end of the title, the prayer freedom book.com. That's the website, the prayer freedom book.com. They'll take, give you a link to go straight to Amazon, straight to the book, but you'll also be able to get some discounts on the book if you want. Uh, you'll see a video with some test, with some real life stories and testimonies about it. If you like and some free stuff as well. So let me encourage you, if you or your loved one you're suffering with any sort of mental illness, all the garbage from trauma from years back and you got chronic pain and even just the ability to manage life with the trauma in your head. 'cause a lot of times you're just like, you know, you just, you can't get outta your head. As I worked with these people at the [00:26:00] Addiction Recovery Center. That stuff just starts to disappear and now they can function more normally. So I really encourage you to do that. The great thing about Amazon and most booksellers, you can send it back in 30 days if you don't like it. So I'll give you, I'll give you my money back guarantee, right? Buy it, try it. If it doesn't work, just send it back. You'll get your money back and it'll cost you nothing. So there's no risk to trying it. And it says there's a free gift for the listeners. Yeah. So I have what's called a power prayer, which is, just a real simple portion of this prayer that has really great, impact in people's lives. And it's just like a little free gift. If you request that, then you can, uh, get that as well. It's all in the book, but if you just wanna get an advanced copy of it, then you can get it there. Wow. And we definitely believe here that. Jesus is the great physician. We definitely [00:27:00] believe in prayer here and this has been a great conversation to discover the power of prayer in practical ways, and, add that to our treatment plan of healing from all kinds of stuff. I'm so glad that you came on this show. I appreciate it. You're welcome to come back anytime if you have some new books that you write. I would love that. And thank you, Diana, for the opportunity to be here and share hopefully a little bit of hope and freedom for your listeners. God bless you. So Beatty and I, we talked. Offline. After our conversation, he prayed for me about some things going on in my life, which it was such a blessing just to talk with him. We have a lot of other things in common, but I [00:28:00] did wanna let you know while we were talking and before we hung up, I realized that my right foot did go to a zero. So, um, so just wanted to be honest in that that did happen and that might encourage you to try the prayer. Uh, if you would like and let me know what happens. Let Beatty know what happens. Reach out to him. All of his, information is going to be on the show notes. For you, the website and where to purchase his book and his email to contact him with questions or maybe some victories.

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into the profound message, “More Than This.” We explore how we frequently become ensnared in the fleeting pleasures of this world, yet there exists a vast and abundant life beyond our immediate grasp. The Bible advises us to relinquish our earthly concerns and instead prioritize seeking God's kingdom. In doing so, we can rest assured that He will provide for all our needs. Let us redirect our focus from the transient aspects of life to the eternal truths that lie ahead.

Dying to Ourselves How would you answer this question if God asked you… “If I should hand you a silver platter with one item, what would you like?” Perhaps the best answer: “Give me your will for my life, O God, with this, there is nothing more.” S.D. Gordon relates a similar experience, “I sometimes thought, what if God were to say to me: ‘I want to give you something as special as a love-gift; an extra because I love you: what would you like to have?' Do you know what I thought I would say? ‘Dear God, you choose. I choose what You choose.' An example of me asking Shelley where she would like to eat. Sometimes she responds, “You choose, I have decision fatigue.”

Candace and Lisa dive into a raw confession: "Dear God, I don't like my body." This episode of Body & Soul explores what happens when our physical reality feels like a burden—whether due to chronic pain, mental health struggles, or just the quiet disappointment we carry. Candace shares the personal toll of living with migraines and the resentment it has sometimes stirred. Lisa opens up about hormonal changes, perimenopause, and the grief of realizing her body will never be what it once was. Together, they reflect on how body grief, trauma, and identity are deeply intertwined—and how Scripture offers a redemptive path forward. If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt more frustration than freedom, this conversation will meet you there. It's for every woman who has whispered to God, "Why this body?"

Join us this week for a brand new Ministry Minute entitled “Rags to Riches.” In today's episode, we explore the transformative power of God, examining how He can turn even the most challenging situations around, even when they seem hopeless. We draw inspiration from the story of Jehoiachin in Jeremiah 52, illustrating how someone could swiftly transition from imprisonment to the king's court. This inspires us to place our trust in God, as Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for our good. ✝️

Your Nightly Prayer

Join us this week for a brand new Ministry Minute entitled, “A Clean Heart.” In this message, we delve into the significance of self-reflection and examining the state of our hearts. We explore how our hearts can become tainted by unforgiveness, bitterness, and anger, which ultimately distances us from God. We emphasize the importance of letting go of these negative emotions and asking God to create within us a clean, renewed heart that embodies His love and compassion. ✝️❤️ #PureHeart #JesusLovesYou #MinistryMinuteA Clean Heart | Ministry Minute EP272Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and wrongdoings. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven.

Hey fam!We can't believe we've made it to video Episode 10 of Dear God, Unscripted! We're talking about a topic that's challenged both of us—submission in marriage

“O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?” (Psalm 10:1 NLT) A Sunday school teacher gave the kids in her class an assignment to write down any questions they had for God. Here are some of the questions, comments, and suggestions they came up with: Dear God, did You mean for the giraffe to look like that, or was it an accident? Dear God, I like the Lord’s Prayer best of all. Did You have to write it a lot, or did You get it right the first time? I have to write everything over and over again. Dear God, thank You for my baby brother You gave to us, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Dear God, how come You haven’t invented any new animals lately? We still have just the old ones. Dear God, I bet it is very hard for You to love everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in my family, and I just can’t do it. Dear God, in school we read that Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday school, they said that You made it. I bet he stole Your idea. If you’re new to the Christian faith, you may have your own questions, comments, or suggestions for God. (And if you’ve been a Christian for most of your life, you probably still have questions, comments, or suggestions for God.) The questions may be tough. They may seem impolite. They may suggest a lack of faith on your part. Ask them anyway. That’s what the psalmists did. Look at Psalm 10:1 above. Those pointed questions are heartfelt cries. And God responds to our heartfelt cries—not with anger or punishment for questioning Him, but with compassion and understanding. He gives us wisdom and peace. He opens our eyes to spiritual truths we can’t see on our own. Few people in Scripture were closer to God than David, the shepherd who killed Goliath and later became king of Israel. First Samuel 13:14 describes David as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet look what he wrote in Psalm 13:1–2: “O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?” (NLT). He poured out his soul to God because he knew God would see his questions for what they were: genuine attempts to understand God and His will. The apostle James offered this advice: “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:5–6 NLT). God welcomes your questions because the more answers you receive, the stronger your faith will grow. Reflection question: What questions would you like to ask God?

Join us for this week's Ministry Minute, where we discuss today's message, "Better Than I Deserve."

Season Ending Episode!! Season 5 Episode 10' is a RAP!!! Always a bitter sweet moment, it's like I don't want to leave you guys but resets are important. To end this season, we welcomed my cousin Hector Naranjo. He basically is my childhood friend but more like my brother. Hector surprised me, with his vulnerability and openes to share his story but how he owned his actions. He shared how he didn't feel guilty when doing the hurtful actions, that in his mind… he was a “good guy”, which in reality he is a good guy but was making wrong decisions. I admired how he took accountability, Hector shared that he was cheating on his girlfriend, didn't know, much less understood the damage and hurt he caused her and so many around them. This took him to start looking inward and ask questions like… “why did I do that?, why do I feel alone?, where did all my money go? And more. Family, I'm telling you…. This is such a great episode. Topics we discussed are; cheating/ lying, fighting addictions beer, depressions, material things, to losing his mother at 19 years (Hector), and quitting his job to follow Christ. The stories dont just stop there. Hector has so much wisdom that an hour episode will do no justice but it will give you insight of the heart he carries. People think the mistakes define a person, but… God says “your sin is forgiven and I love you, ______” He calls you by your name and no shame. It was a pleasure recording this episode for you guys… please connect with us. My email is Themaceffect19@gmail.com for all questions and inquiries. I promise you this will bless you. How do I know, because my God word is never void. My (our) prayer for this season 5, Dear God, gives us the wisdom to hear and listen with attention, patience and the will to accept what is for me (us). I ask that you develop and grow me (us) as individuals, so that I (we) can be of a blessings to those around us, family, friends and all relationships in between. I have faith and strongly believe this season 5 will be of impact and create memorable moments. Bring… change, challenge, and healing. The MAC Effect is in your hands, grow it, use it, this is yours. I pray for the mission statement to be: “Helping / Leading hurt people, to hope. In heart, mind, body and spirit” but open to change if you please to do so. I pray all this in Jesus Christ name, Amen' I want to thank all my guest in advance for the love and time gifted to this podcast, as all is a direct blessing and healing to my inner child, and others.

SummaryIn this raw and reflective episode of Dear God, Unscripted, Jordan sits down with his cousin—and brother in spirit—Ashyrii Ball, for a powerful conversation about Black manhood, mental health, and breaking generational patterns.Together, they revisit their upbringing in Southeast Texas, where young fathers were learning how to be men while raising sons who were silently watching. They explore what they learned (and unlearned) about emotional expression, discipline, boundaries, and love—and how those early lessons are now shaping the way they parent, show up in relationships, and care for their mental health.From funny childhood memories to deeply personal moments of vulnerability, this episode is an unfiltered look at what it means to grow up Black, male, and emotionally silenced—and how healing starts with learning to speak.Why This Matters:Men's Mental Health Month deserves real, honest conversations—not just headlines. This episode is our offering to that space. A reminder that emotional expression is not weakness, that parenting can be redemptive, and that breaking cycles takes more than intention—it takes action.00:00 – Opening Up: Why men's mental health matters05:27 – Manhood Defined: Early messages we learned as boys08:20 – Learning to Speak: Communication struggles and growth12:42 – Emotions Are Not Weakness: Reclaiming emotional expression17:35 – Childhood Reflections: What shaped the men we became23:29 – Becoming a Man: The transition from boyhood to adulthood31:00 – Looking Back: Memories that still teach us today35:25 – The Power of Communication: Why words matter in relationships42:17 – Creating Safe Spaces: Healing from emotionally distant upbringings

Chronic pain affects not only the body but the mind and soul as well. In today’s heartfelt devotional, Vivian Bricker shares from her personal journey with autoimmune illness and the emotional toll that chronic suffering can bring—loneliness, isolation, and the temptation to give up. But amidst the pain, Vivian reminds us of the hope found in God’s unchanging presence and faithful love. Through Psalm 73:26, we’re encouraged to trust that God is our portion and strength, even when our bodies and hearts fail. Vivian’s honest reflection and vulnerable prayer offer comfort to anyone battling pain, reminding us that we are seen, we are not alone, and that God’s grace sustains us day by day. ✨ Key Takeaway: Pain may be part of our story, but it doesn’t define us—Jesus does. God sees every tear and every moment of struggle. His strength carries us, and His promises give us hope beyond the pain.

On this week's Ministry Minute, we talk about how God loves us unconditionally, despite our mistakes and sins. Jesus Christ laid down His life for everyone, even those who hated Him, showing that no matter where we are in life, God still has love for us. Jesus is extending His hand to us today, asking us to just simply, come home. #Salvation #JesusLovesYou #MinistryMinuteJesus Loves You | Ministry Minute EP268Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

Episode 9!! Season is almost over!! Please welcome my good friend, Doug Weisskopf. Doug is a friend that I just made a few months ago, thru out daughters friendships. When speaking to him, and listening to his story… my goodness… was good using him. He had no idea I'm going thru a divorce, yet his story was giving me hope, breathing room. Not only was Doug open and shared but when his vulnerability allowed me to feel heard, understood and a moment of peace! I didn't know anyone could understand, I thought I was alone, fighting off depression and evil thoughts. He keeper talking, sharing and I stayed listening… so much that I had to bring him on the podcast! I needed to share his story to other men and women. It's okay to not be okay, it's okay to feel defeated/ destroyed. What's not okay is to stay there. Doug shared the importance of healing himself first so that all areas around him can improve. Doug share feeling unloved, not having his parents show up for him at special events, creating an inner child trauma, hurt that affected his marriage and fatherhood. Never the less, didn't just use this as an excuse, he DID something about it! Took matters into his own hands, developed himself, read a lot of books, healed inner child and present trauma… and is living his best life.

It's Monday, June 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy against Islam charge Last Thursday, a Pakistani judge acquitted a 28-year-old Christian named Farhan Masih of blasphemy against Islam and terrorism charges after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him, reports Morningstar News. Masih had developed a mental illness due to excessive use of synthetic drugs and was entrapped in the false accusation by the complainant. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most difficult country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Dear God, we thank you for enabling Farhan Masih, this Pakistani Christian, to be acquitted. Amen. Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Iran retaliates Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure Friday, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists, reports the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu explained. NETANYAHU: “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. “In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs – nine!  In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.” Iran retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter, as missiles damaged homes and killed two people. U.S. Senate considers defunding Planned Parenthood In the midst of the U.S. Senate's ongoing debate about the budget, they are determining whether to defund Planned Parenthood, as President Trump has requested, reports Liberty Counsel Action. The situation is fluid and can change at any moment because of the razor-thin margin of votes.  Only  two weeks remain to get the budget on President Trump's desk.  Whether or not your two U.S. Senators are Republicans or Democrats, please call them at 202-224-3121 – any time of the day or night -- and urge them to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack A Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home early Saturday by someone posing as a police officer and a second Democratic lawmaker and his wife were wounded in what some have described as  “targeted political violence,” reports the Associated Press. Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. The other lawmaker, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. Bob Jacobson, Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, spoke at a press conference. JACOBSON: “This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy, but we will not allow fear or violence to define who we are or how we move forward.” The gunman has been identified as Vance Luther Boelter, whom Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council. Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct & drug abuse Last Tuesday, Michael Tait, the former lead singer of the Christian rock band Newsboys and a member of the Grammy-winning group DC Talk, publicly confessed to a history of "reckless and destructive behavior," including drug and alcohol abuse and unwanted sexual conduct involving men, reports The Christian Post. In a written statement on Instagram, the 59-year-old singer acknowledged that the reports  are “sadly, largely true." He wrote, "For some two decades, I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. “I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life—one of utter brokenness and total dependence on a loving and merciful God." Tait's confession follows an in-depth investigative report published on June 3rd by The Roys Report documenting that three men accused him of sexual assault during separate incidents dating back to 2004. Tait quoted Psalm 51, King David's famous prayer of repentance: "Blot out my transgressions … create in me a new heart, O God." God-haters upset with 10 Commandments displayed in Arkansas schools A group of God-hating organizations has filed a lawsuit against a recently passed law in Arkansas that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments on the wall in a 16-inch by 20-inch poster with a  font size that makes it easily readable, reports The Christian Post. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday on behalf of a religiously diverse group of parents. At issue is Act 573, a measure signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in April and is scheduled to take effect in August. The lawsuit argues that "Act 573 is not neutral with respect to religion." Republican State Senator Jim Dotson, one of the bill's primary sponsors, argued in March that the Decalogue displays were not unconstitutional. He said, "From the state to the federal level all throughout our history, it is an historical reference point or historical document that has basic things like you shall not kill, steal, commit adultery -- those basic foundations of life that are good for everybody to keep front of mind so that we are hopefully living good lives," reports KATV. After God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20:20 records Moses telling the Jews, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” Worldview listeners in South Dakota, Colorado, and Indiana share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts -- along with your full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Jason Bollwerk in Rapid City, South Dakota wrote, “I am a homeschooled sophomore in high school, and I listen daily to The Worldview for school. My reason for listening is not only to hear what is happening in the world, but I love hearing about all the good things that God is doing out there. Most media outlets show the dark side of what's going on. But The Worldview really shows what God's doing. Tally ho and pip pip.” Cheryl Ball in Indianapolis, Indiana wrote, “I've been reading the transcript of your newscast every morning since the presidential debates last year. I don't watch the news or read other news. So, this is basically my news input and I'm thankful for it.” And Dennis and Alyssa Guse in Castle Rock, Colorado, said, “Thank you for the faithful work you and The Worldview in 5 Minutes team do for the glory of God!  We are blessed to hear relevant news stories and encouraging Scriptures every day.  Keep up the great work for the Kingdom!”  Dennis asked if I could lead an occasional short prayer for one of the news items. I  called him to say that that was a great idea and I would take him up on the suggestion. 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,821 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this past weekend, 17  listeners stepped up to the plate by 1:00pm Central on Saturday. We were only 3 donors short of our 20-donor goal. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25 as well as Elisabeth in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Karen in Waterford, Wisconsin --  both of whom gave $50, and Daniel in Mayflower, Arkansas who pledged $8 per month for 12 months for a gift of $96. We're grateful to God for Leasa in Simpsonville, South Carolina, George in Edinburgh, Indiana, and Woody in Sparks, Nevada – each of whom gave $100 as well as Laura in Millstadt, Illinois and Kerry and Rosana in San Antonio, Texas – both of whom gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Derrick in Evans, Georgia who gave $250, Justin and Oliver in Grover Beach, California who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Eric in Warren, Minnesota who also pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Matt, Amanda, Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $450, Shy in Ingalls, Indiana who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $600, Aaron in Fort Bragg, North Carolina who gave $1,000, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two $1,000 donations with another $2,000 gift of his own. Those 17 Worldview listeners gave a total of $6,821. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $38,892.20 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means we fell $22,857.80 short of our $61,750 mid-point goal to stay on the air and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $53,732.80. Remember, if you are one of the 4 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift.  Now, if that happens today, Monday, June 16th we will have raised an additional $8,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 38 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 76 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Has God placed it on your heart to be one of the Christian patriots to fund this unparalleled newscast which unashamedly cites relevant Scripture, includes compelling soundbites, and practical action steps to speak out for Biblical principles? Please, we need your help right now!  Go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.   Click on the button that indicates a recurring monthly donation if that's your wish. I'll be honest.

This season promises a journey of faith, self-discovery, and shared spiritual growth. Whether penned from your hearts or unseen voices, these letters aim to connect us all through our shared reliance on faith, celebrating God's unwavering presence in our lives.

Let us step forward with faith, knowing that He will guide and support us every step of the way.

And Another One…. Please, welcome Esteban Hernandez, he is a former boss of mine. The reason why I wanted to bring Esteban and share his story is because he impressed me with his confidence and hard work. He's not scared to start a new venture… and my first question was… why isn't he scared God? So I stared asking Esteban deep questions to investigate, find out, to try and understand… and I discovered that our past traumas and social environment are huge factors to our development. Now, this doesn't mean we have the excuses to fail because our environment and traumas predefined us for failure… NO! We must convert the pain and hurt to motivation and fuel to propel our goals and dreams (We just needed someones help, mom, dad, brother, sister, and even if no one help… we always had God in our corner without even knowing it). But… Esteban had both his mom and dad at home growing up, he never heard mom and dad fight, was demonstrated love and support thru out his childhood. Esteban was supported, taught, and given values constantly by both parents. So this really got my attention, so I started asking God more questions… how much more confidence does this give him? How does this shape his confidence? His decision making? His fear or flight pattern?? Well… take a listen to watch the episode to see how powerful a mom and dad truly are for themselves but for their children, Thank you Esteban for coming on the podcast, sharing your story and giving us an understanding of the power of true pure… LOVE!! Please connect with us, via comments, your stories, what relates and / or what helps you… as we understand we are not alone or the only ones. Help is here for you too.

Mon Dieu. Lieber Gott. Dear God. I heard French, German, Slovak, Greek, and English prayers echo through the central Athens church as in unison we prayed in our native languages for people in our home countries to hear of God’s love. The beauty of the gathering was magnified when we realized our gathering was happening on Pentecost. In the Old Testament, Pentecost was a harvest festival celebrated fifty days after the Passover festival (Leviticus 23:15-21). On the first Pentecost following Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers gathered in Jerusalem. Suddenly a sound like “violent wind” came, and “what seemed to be tongues of fire” appeared as they were filled with the Spirit and “began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:4). Visitors from other nations heard “the wonders of God” in their own language (v. 11). Then, after Peter “addressed the crowd,” many believed the message that Jesus was crucified and raised to life to offer forgiveness (vv. 14, 22-41). The multilingual prayers of the ministry leaders assembled in Athens reminded me that Peter’s message heard at Pentecost continues to be shared around the world, and people are still responding in faith. Let’s pray for the Spirit to empower us like the early believers in Jesus at Pentecost to tell of God’s love. And let’s pray for the message to be heard in every language spoken around the world.

In this episode of Dear God, Unscripted, JB and Kiara look back on how their faith has grown—from little kids in church trying to make sense of it all, to grown folks still figuring it out. They swap stories about how they used to see God, what church was like growing up, and how things hit different now. It's honest, funny, and full of those “dang, that's real” moments. At the heart of it all, it's about love—God's love.Chapters00:00 The Evolution of Faith: Childhood Memories09:45 Teenage Years and Early Adulthood15:15 Reflections on Personal Growth and Challenges15:46 Finding Faith Through Family Struggles22:27 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing22:50 Navigating Relationships and Spiritual Abuse27:12 Experiencing Freedom in Faith30:15 Wrestling with God and Understanding Love37:55 Embracing Love and Acceptance in FaithTakeawaysFaith is not one-size-fits-all—it grows and shifts as life does.

The MAC effect is welcoming Tommy Huynh @tommyhuynh He is a husband, a father, a business owner, off road mountain bike rider, and more. Please welcome Tommy with lots of love and bravery to share his story. Tommy lost his father at the age of 12. Grew up knowing about God but hated Him for a very long time due to his fathers passing. He shares how he felt unloved by his mother and family, never really seemed loved in other places, but did seek adrenaline by fighting, breaking the law and following the wrong type of crowd. Which lead him to do some prison time. Crazy right!!  To be honest, when be first explained this to me… I said… “Tommy, no way! Not you… you are a peaceful man, a relaxing man, a business owner, and I can see you have it all together'. And Tommy just lough. Not because I said something funny… but because Tommy was realizing how good and far God has brought him. Tommy has his own YouTube channel @tommyhuynh t_wrex_mtb where she shows off his skills and passion. He also owns along with his wife a Vietnamese restaurant called Monarch9 in Yorba Linda, check them out amazing food and atmosphere. I want to thank Tommy for sharing his story but more importantly being brave enough to heal from his past to create the beautiful future he currently has. If you have any questions for Tommy or myself please ask… out information is here and would love to help. Please connect with us, via comments, your stories, what relates and / or what helps you… as we understand we are not alone or the only ones. Help is here for you too.

I'm always in a hurry to fill in the blanks when we haven't been connected

Let’s be honest—most of us have questions we’re holding close to the chest. Why am I struggling? Why didn’t God intervene? Why now? The beauty of faith isn’t in pretending we don’t have questions—it’s in knowing exactly where to take them.
