218. How to Walk in God’s Favor (Like Jesus Did)

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.

216. Are You More Like JESUS... or more like Barabbas?

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.

215. "My Mom Searched for the Puppy but Never Came Looking for Me" | Mike Garza’s Redemption Story

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....

214. From Hatred to Forgiveness: A Son’s Final Moments with His Dying Stepfather - with Jonathan Carter

What do you do when the man who beat you is now the one dying in front of you?
In this raw and redemptive convo, Jonathan Carter shares the emotional final moments with his stepfather George... a man he once hated.

What begins as a story of pain and distance transforms into one of forgiveness, healing, and eternal hope.

When his stepfather George ended up on his deathbed after a life marked by addiction, Jonathan showed up. What unfolded in that hospital room was nothing short of a spiritual experience. From childhood pain to a tear-filled final goodbye, this conversation dives into the reality of generational wounds, the urgency of faith, and the power of forgiveness when time is almost up. This isn’t just a story — it’s a wake-up call. TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!.

213. Wild Prophetic Dream Leads to a $100,000 Check 14 Years Later - with Gary Burkins

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.

  • Gary then drops gems about obedience and shares the story of how God asked him to put massive stones around his church.
  • This was filmed at Launchbox Collective in Fort Worth

212. Dream, Think, Do… it’s a Gods Economy Mindset - with Mitch Matthews

Zach Rippey (alongside his firstborn son, Noah) welcomes Mitch Matthews, a coach and speaker with a focus on God's economy and leadership.

The 3 of them discuss the importance of dreaming big, thinking strategically, and taking action in faith.

Mitch shares his journey in coaching, the significance of meekness (Matthew 5), and how God moves in the marketplace.

Mitch gets asked a powerful question about how he was led to God and it was the moment God healed his wife of cancer after 6 unique miracles in a row!

Mitch highlights the importance of the ministry of noticing, emphasizing how small acts can have a significant impact. Mitch also provides resources for listeners to deepen their prayer life and connection with God.


takeaways

  • The concept of 'Dream, Think, Do' is a biblical approach to achieving goals.
  • Meekness is strength under control, not weakness.
  • God can work through us in the marketplace, encouraging us to be innovative.
  • God's economy operates differently from the world's economy.
  • Read about the 6 miracles HERE!
