  I Thought I Was Hearing God. Now I Think It Was Demonic | Jeremy Ryan - EP 58

  Sep 12, 20262h 2m

  *Kyle's Coaching & Recruiting* https://calendly.com/kylevanruit/discovery-chat *MBC Canada* https://mbcclarity.com/ *Next Hand Digital* https://nexthanddigital.com/ --- Jeremy Ryan’s story takes a few turns—and then several more. He went from being bullied and selling drugs to preparing for the end times in tents near 100 Mile House, serving in church, hearing voices he believed were from God, and eventually joining the Free Reformed Church. We talk about addiction, conversion, spiritual gifts, church authority, family influence, infant baptism, and what happens when absolute confidence collides with the need to know what is actually true. Whether you grew up Christian, walked away from church, or have no idea what paedobaptism means, Jeremy’s story is wild, honest, and worth hearing.

  My Dad Beat Me Daily — I Still Chose to Forgive Him | Nick Zemora - EP 57

  Aug 19, 20262h 15m

  *FREEDOM SESSION REGISTRATION LINK — FALL 2026* Chilliwack: https://central365.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3762929 *Kyle's Coaching & Recruiting*https://calendly.com/kylevanruit/discovery-chat *Nitty Gritty Tiles* Contact: Nick Phone: 604-703-4148 --- Nick Zemora spent most of his life thinking he was fine while carrying years of physical abuse, childhood sexual abuse, anger, isolation and a deep distrust of people and God. In this conversation, we get into his childhood, marriage, faith, suffering, forgiveness, and what happened when he finally stopped burying his story and started bringing it into the light through Freedom Session. It’s a heavy conversation, but also a pretty incredible picture of grace, healing, and the freedom that can come from finally facing what you’ve spent years avoiding.

  You Caught Your Husband Watching Porn… Now What?! | Savannah Paul - EP 54

  May 2, 20261h 13m

  I sat down with Savannah Paul to talk about something a lot of women are dealing with but don’t know how to talk about — catching their husband watching porn and having no idea what to do next. We get into the shock, the anger, the self-doubt, and the lies women start believing about themselves, and what real healing actually looked like in her marriage. This isn’t a quick fix conversation — it’s about betrayal, rebuilding trust, and what it actually takes to heal (even when it takes years).
