Steve Kang never heard of what the Bible calls hell until he was led there by satan. The agony he describes from his time there is riveting. The beings he saw there have no light, no joy, and no faces.
No babies, children, animals, or plants. 🪴
Steve was awakened in a hospital room, surrounded by local Christians, and gave his life to Jesus immediately.
He's been preaching the word of God ever since and has read the bible over 100 times! Powerful story, please share with your fellow brothers and sisters both saved and unsaved!

Charlie Kirk was martyred just a day before Daniel Molina and I jumped on a podcast - we unpack the baton passing moment the death of Charlie Kirk was for Christians and Americans alike. Daniel also shares the fruit his house church has generated by simply hosting a worship night and posting the videos on Instagram. We also dive into the topic of tithing and radical generosity that comes when you step into cheerful giving. Thank you Daniel Molina for joining me from Hawaii!

Favor From God Comes Before Favor With Man
God’s favor changes everything.
Before we ever find favor with people, we first walk in favor with Him. That’s the divine order—and even Jesus modeled it.
📖 Proverbs 3:3–4
📖 Luke 2:52
📖 Acts 2:46–47
Join me to hear fresh revelations, scriptures, and my personal story of experiencing God’s favor at the Armed Media Conference. From unexpected interviews, prophetic words, divine connections, open doors, and even comedy opportunities—I saw firsthand how faithfulness turns into harvest.
You’ll hear
✅ Why favor with God must come first
✅ How Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, Esther, and Mary walked in favor
✅ Testimonies of divine favor at Armed Media Conference
✅ Insights from Joseph Z, Alan Didio, Larry Ragland, Brad Stine, and David Diga Hernandez ✅ Why sowing is the key to success and breakthrough
✅ How God uses faithfulness, content, and media to spread the Gospel today
🌍 The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. God wants to use your story, your gifts, and your voice to reach this generation.

Zach Rippey explores the wild spiritual truths surrounding the biblical figure Barabbas and his connection to Jesus. Why did MAN choose the wrong Jesus? Or was this an even deeper representation of the Father's love for us? The conversation also highlights Josiah Queen's song 'I Am Barabbas' and its powerful message of redemption, as well as reflections on the film 'The Passion of the Christ' and its impact on understanding the sacrifice of Jesus. We will unpack the Actor who played Barabbas, a goosebump-level faith conversion that sparked from a LOOK from Jesus!*Apologize about the video and audio being a tad out of synch, still trying to figure out my home studio setup and new software being used.

Mike Garza shares his story of living in a dysfunctional home loaded with drugs and chaos. His mother's wounds ran deep, and he covered for her despite the hatred he felt for the lack of effort she put into raising him. Mike became aggressive, in and out of foster homes, and became "Psycho Michael," which was spoken over him. He then unpacks how he went from selling dope to selling legs after a miracle testimony of surviving a motorcycle accident. Mike then cursed God out, and then God showed up with love and had a girl invite him to church. Pastor prophesies a spot on word that changed EVERYTHING! Then God worked on Mike's heart to forgive his mom and invited her to live in his home. Then the dog went missing, and it opened up unhealed wounds....

I got to witness Gary Burkins receiving a $100,000 check!!!
Do I have your attention? In 2011, Pastor Gary woke up in the middle of the night from a super bizarre dream where he saw a check written out to his ministry signed by Pastor Troy Brewer.
He couldn't shake the dream and decided to call Troy and let him know. It was one of the best phone calls he ever made because it got both men on the same page with what God was planning.
