Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Thompson

What if the way you talk about yourself is keeping you from becoming who God says you already are? In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings begin a new series of real-life conversations, using short teaching clips as starting points for deeper discussions about identity, healing, freedom, and life with God. This conversation begins with a teaching from Graham Cooke and a simple but significant distinction: Are you a sinner trying to become a saint—or a beloved son who sometimes sins? Michael and SJ explore how the answer shapes the way we see ourselves, our failures, and even the process of spiritual growth. When sin, shame, or failure becomes our primary identity, the Christian life can quickly become an exhausting exercise in sin management and behavior modification. But when we begin with belovedness, failure no longer gets the final word. The conversation also turns toward the voices we carry with us. Parents, coaches, churches, relationships, and painful experiences can all contribute to the internal dialogue running through our minds. Over time, those messages can become beliefs about who we are: I'm not enough. I always mess things up. I have to perform to be loved. I'll never change. But what if those voices aren't telling the truth? Michael and SJ discuss grace not simply as forgiveness, but as God's empowering presence—inviting us into healing, restoration, sanctification, and a new way of seeing ourselves. This doesn't mean ignoring sin or avoiding responsibility. It means refusing to let failure become identity. The Gospel isn't an invitation to live under constant condemnation. It's an invitation to become more and more of the person God created you to be. You are more than your worst moment. More than the voices from your past. More than the mistakes you've made. You are beloved—and that's where transformation begins.

What if the challenges in your life aren't only obstacles to overcome—but opportunities for God to form you? In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their series on the challenges men face, exploring the pressures men carry around provision, protection, finances, work, health, relationships, and changing seasons of life. When those pressures become overwhelming, it's easy to focus on the most visible struggle. Pornography, substance abuse, overwork, control, and other behaviors can become the problem we're desperate to fix. But Michael and SJ return to an important distinction: What's the root, what's the symptom, and what's the consequence? Underneath many of these struggles are deeper questions of identity. Am I enough? Am I capable? Am I wanted? Can I trust God when life doesn't go the way I expected? Michael and SJ explore how being a beloved son changes the way a man encounters those questions. They discuss the surprising difficulty many men have receiving a compliment, encouragement, a gift, blessing, or affirmation—even while deeply longing to be seen and valued. They also share about "thin spaces": ordinary moments when God's presence and affection become unexpectedly tangible. Rather than offering a single formula for overcoming hardship, this conversation invites men to reconsider what their challenges might mean. What if every difficult season isn't punishment? What if some of what you're facing is revealing places that still need healing, validating something true about your heart, or training you for what lies ahead? The goal isn't to pretend hardship doesn't hurt. It's to learn to walk through it as a beloved son—with curiosity, kindness, and an openness to what God may be doing in the midst of it. Your challenge may be more than something to survive. It may be an invitation to become.

Interview with Caitlin Jeffs, President & CEO of Red Metal ResourcesRecording date: 16th September 2026Red Metal Resources Ltd. (CSE:RMES) is a Vancouver-based explorer focused on the Carrizal copper-gold-silver-cobalt property in the coastal cordillera of Chile's Atacama region, near Vallenar. President and CEO Caitlin Jeffs is a geologist who began her career with Placer Dome and later co-founded Fladgate Exploration Consulting. With fellow Red Metal director Michael Thompson, she took Kesselrun Resources from its 2012 founding to a sale to Gold X2 in December 2025.The company's distinguishing feature is its funding model. Chile allows small operators to mine up to 5,000 tonnes per month on individual concessions and sell ore to state-run ENAMI processing plants. Red Metal rents selected claims to experienced artisanal miners and takes a 10% net sales royalty paid directly by the plant. At the Farellon 1/8 concession, a 1.5% vendor royalty reduces Red Metal's net share to 8.5% until the vendor has received $600,000. The arrangement also gives Red Metal underground access to observe the mineralisation. It has the option to buy bulk samples at the plant price and keeps its exploration rights.The first operator, Minera KMT SpA, signed in May 2026 with a seven-month development period and a minimum rate of 2,500 tonnes per month thereafter. It delivered about 592 tonnes of copper sulphide ore to ENAMI last August, roughly four months early. Red Metal can cancel the lease if the minimum is missed for three consecutive months. Earlier small-scale mining on the ground averaged 1.87% copper. Jeffs expects similar grades that could produce a royalty of $35,000 to $50,000 a month. Final ENAMI assays and settlement for the first deliveries are pending. A second lease over the Irene and Margarita claims, with operator Catalina, targets the same monthly rate within about six months.The larger prize is exploration. About 9,000 metres of drilling has tested roughly 1.5 km of a 5 km vein system. It showed continuous mineralisation with better grades and widths towards 200 metres depth. Mapping has traced about 15 km of veining towards the historic Carrizal Alto mine, which flooded in 1891 at around 500 metres depth. A LiDAR survey and a 3D IP survey have followed. The southern IP block produced chargeability anomalies over the drilled zone and over veins mapped at surface. Northern-block results are still to be released. Jeffs is targeting an underground operation grading 1% copper or better across three parallel veins, with a long-term goal of 50 to 100 million tonnes. Drilling is planned for late 2026 at about US$350 per metre. The full path could require 50,000 to 100,000 metres.Red Metal has 61 million shares outstanding and about 80 million fully diluted, with options and warrants priced between 6 and 15 cents. Cash was about $300,000 at the time of the interview, so new funding is needed before drilling. The key watch items are the first ENAMI settlement, KMT's progress towards 2,500 tonnes per month, northern-block IP results and the first holes of the late 2026 programme.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson, SJ Jennings, and Caleb Richwine continue their series on the challenges men face by looking specifically at a defining decade in the masculine journey: a man's 20s. Your 20s can feel like the moment life suddenly starts asking bigger questions. Who are you? What are you going to do with your life? Are you capable? Are you strong enough? Who will you become? Career, money, relationships, marriage, independence, and responsibility all begin carrying greater weight—often while a man is still trying to answer fundamental questions about his identity. Caleb shares pieces of his own story, including how early experiences of conditional approval contributed to people-pleasing and a desire to earn affirmation. He describes how God began exposing those patterns and inviting him into healing, helping him move from an identity built on performance toward one rooted in what God says is true. Together, Michael, SJ, and Caleb explore the cultural pressures facing men in their 20s. Social media constantly presents images of success, wealth, status, comfort, power, and relationships, quietly shaping what men believe their lives should look like. Without intentionality, it's easy to spend this decade pursuing someone else's definition of success rather than discovering the man God is forming you to become. The conversation also highlights the importance of brotherhood and mentorship. Young men need older men whose lives demonstrate the fruit they're looking for—men who can offer wisdom, encouragement, perspective, and a hand back up when they fall. Your challenges aren't necessarily evidence that something is wrong with you. They may be revealing the places where God wants to bring healing, maturity, and freedom. Your 20s aren't simply about building a career or creating a life. They're about becoming a man.

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings begin a powerful new series by addressing one of the biggest questions facing men today: Why are so many men struggling? From addiction and isolation to anger, anxiety, broken relationships, and burnout, it's easy to focus on the visible problems. But what if those struggles are only symptoms? What if the deeper issue lies beneath the surface? Michael and SJ explore the difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causes. They unpack how many men are living untrained, unfathered, uninitiated, and unfinished—trying to carry the weight of life without ever receiving the guidance, healing, or formation they needed. The result is often frustration, shame, and coping mechanisms that never truly solve the problem. Rather than offering quick fixes, this conversation invites men to slow down and ask better questions. Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical insight, Michael and SJ reveal why lasting freedom begins by understanding what is really driving our behaviors and where true healing can be found. The episode also highlights the essential role of brotherhood, community, and spiritual guidance in the healing journey. No man was created to carry life's burdens alone, and God often brings restoration through trusted relationships that help us see what we cannot see on our own. This new series is an invitation to move beyond survival and into transformation. Because when the root is healed, the fruit begins to change. Whether you're facing personal struggles or walking alongside another man who is, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and a practical roadmap toward greater freedom.

We need orientation—a way of seeing ourselves, our circumstances, and God's activity that allows us to navigate life with confidence, freedom, and hope. The conversation revisits the core themes of the series—life, truth, warfare, the heart, and healing—showing how they work together to form a Kingdom perspective. Michael and SJ discuss the importance of understanding your identity as an image bearer of God, recognizing the reality of spiritual warfare, and learning to interpret your story through the larger story of God's redemption rather than through fear, trauma, or past experiences. They also reflect on the journey of healing, emphasizing that freedom isn't found in trying harder but in becoming more deeply oriented to God's love, truth, and presence. Through personal stories, biblical insights, and practical encouragement, they remind listeners that transformation is both a gift and a process—one that flourishes through community, intentionality, and ongoing relationship with God. As this series comes to a close, Michael and SJ encourage listeners to remain curious, stay engaged with the journey, and continue pursuing the abundant life Jesus promised. The Zoweh life isn't simply a theological concept—it's an invitation to experience more love, more freedom, and more life with God every day.

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings conclude their series on the biblical realities of a Zoweh life by exploring one of God's primary ways of bringing healing and transformation: redemptive community. While many of us long for deep relationships, we've often learned to protect ourselves from the very places where healing is meant to happen. What if the relationships you've been avoiding are actually the environments where God wants to restore your heart? Michael and SJ unpack the difference between simply gathering with people and living in a truly redemptive community—a place where honesty replaces hiding, understanding matters more than being right, and conflict becomes an opportunity for deeper connection instead of division. They remind us that while wounds often happen in relationships, healing frequently happens there too. The conversation explores practical tools for navigating difficult conversations, listening with empathy, extending forgiveness, and learning to communicate from your true self instead of your false self. Rather than winning arguments or proving a point, followers of Jesus are invited to pursue mutual understanding, vulnerability, and restoration. As the series comes to a close, Michael and SJ challenge listeners to move beyond simply believing biblical truths and begin practicing them in everyday relationships. Living a Zoe life isn't just about personal healing—it's about becoming the kind of person who helps create environments where others can heal as well. If you've ever struggled with conflict, community, or learning how to build healthier relationships, this episode offers a hopeful vision of what becomes possible when grace, truth, and love meet in the context of authentic friendship.

Some investors swear by margin loans, while others won't go near them. So are they a powerful wealth-building tool, or a trap for the unprepared investor?

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their journey through the Good Man Series by exploring one of its most compelling themes: glory. What if your glory isn't something you achieve—but something you uncover? Too many men spend their lives chasing approval, performance, and validation, believing their worth rises and falls with their success. But the Gospel tells a different story. Your glory is not found in what you accomplish—it's found in who God created you to be. Michael and SJ unpack the difference between the false self and the true self, revealing how wounds, fear, comparison, and the need to prove ourselves can bury the unique expression of God within us. As those layers are healed and removed, our true selves begin to emerge—not for our own recognition, but so God's life can be expressed through us in a way no one else can. The conversation also explores how parents can help identify and call out the glory in their children rather than simply managing behavior or celebrating performance. Through personal stories, biblical foundations, and practical exercises, Michael and SJ encourage listeners to discover the passions, gifts, and desires God has woven into their lives from the very beginning. The goal isn't becoming someone new. It's becoming the man God had in mind all along. If you've ever wondered where your worth comes from, why comparison steals your joy, or how to live with greater freedom and purpose, this conversation offers a powerful invitation to rediscover the glory God has placed within you.

Heart of a Warrior Encounter: https://www.zoweh.org/events Support the Mission: https://www.zoweh.org/give In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their series on Kingdom realities by turning to what Scripture calls the wellspring of life: the heart. Jesus never invited us into behavior modification—He invited us into heart transformation. Yet many of us have spent years managing our actions while neglecting the very place from which our lives flow. Drawing from Proverbs 4:23, Michael and SJ explore why the Bible places such extraordinary importance on guarding our hearts and what it truly means to become wholehearted. The conversation examines the biblical theology of the heart, revealing it as far more than our emotions. The heart is the center of belief, desire, affection, identity, and communion with God. It's where we interpret our experiences, form convictions, and ultimately choose how we live. When the heart is wounded, life becomes fragmented. But when the heart is restored, we begin to experience the freedom, joy, and abundance Jesus intended. Michael and SJ also discuss the journey toward wholeheartedness through three movements: awakening, deepening, and fulfilling. Along the way, they emphasize the importance of curiosity over condemnation, recognizing moments of disruption as invitations from God, and allowing the Holy Spirit to continue His work of healing and renewal. The invitation of the Gospel isn't simply to have a forgiven heart—it's to receive a new heart. One that is alive, responsive to God, and capable of living from His love. If you've ever wondered why your outward efforts haven't produced lasting change, this episode offers a compelling reminder: lasting transformation always begins at the heart.

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their series on Kingdom realities by exploring one of the Bible's most overlooked truths: we are living in a spiritual battle. Jesus promised abundant life—but He also warned that there is an enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. What does it look like to live with both of those realities in view? Michael and SJ unpack the biblical story of spiritual warfare, reminding listeners that the conflict we experience is not simply psychological, cultural, or circumstantial. Behind the visible world is an unseen battle for our hearts, our identity, and our freedom. They explore how anxiety, fear, confusion, temptation, and discouragement are often more than isolated struggles—they're invitations to become aware of the larger story unfolding around us. Drawing from passages like 1 John 4 and Ephesians 5, they discuss the importance of discernment, testing the spirits, recognizing the enemy's schemes, and learning to walk wisely in a world filled with competing voices. The conversation emphasizes that Satan is not a creator but a corrupter, twisting what God has made good, while Jesus continually invites us into truth, healing, and life. Most importantly, Michael and SJ remind us that believers aren't called to live in fear of the battle. Through Christ, we've been given authority, discernment, and the Holy Spirit to stand firm, fight well, and experience the abundant life Jesus came to give. This episode is an invitation to become more spiritually awake—to recognize the battle, know your identity, and live with courage, wisdom, and confidence in the Kingdom of God

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their series on Kingdom realities by asking one of the most important questions of the Christian faith: Why did Jesus come? For many, the answer begins and ends with the forgiveness of sins. And while forgiveness is central to the Gospel, Michael and SJ explore the much larger mission Jesus Himself declared: to heal the brokenhearted, set captives free, restore sight to the blind, seek and save the lost, give His life as a ransom, and bring abundant life. Drawing from Luke 4 and Isaiah 61, Michael and SJ examine the moment Jesus stood in the synagogue, opened the scroll, and publicly announced His mission. His words reveal a Gospel of rescue, healing, freedom, restoration, and redemption—a Kingdom reality that reaches far beyond simply securing a place in heaven someday. Together, they explore the foundational Scriptures that have shaped Zoweh's understanding of the larger Gospel and what it means to experience the life Jesus came to give. They also reflect on their own journeys of faith, the Bibles and passages that have marked their stories, and how a broader understanding of Jesus's mission can transform the way we see God, ourselves, and the world around us. Jesus didn't come only to forgive you. He came to rescue, heal, restore, redeem, and set you free. This episode is an invitation to rediscover the fullness of the Gospel and ask: Have I experienced all that Jesus came to give?

Aryan Brotherhood leader, Michael Thompson, reveals what life was really like inside California's most violent prisons — from Old Folsom and San Quentin to the rise of The Brand, prison gang politics, violence, survival, and ultimately walking away. In this explosive interview, he breaks down how the Aryan Brotherhood gained power behind the walls, how prison gangs controlled money, drugs, alcohol, protection, and violence, and why the California prison system of the 1970s was unlike anything seen today. He also opens up about growing up on a Native reservation, being recruited inside prison, surviving brutal conflicts, getting shot multiple times, building influence within the AB, and the moment he decided to leave that life behind. This is a rare inside look at the Aryan Brotherhood, Old Folsom Prison, prison gang history, redemption, and the reality of surviving decades behind bars. Go Support Michael!
