I'm posting this episode on Good Friday ahead of Easter Sunday for 2026.

This is the high Holy season of the Christian faith and for most of us, it is our fear and uncertainty of what happens to us when we die that we wrestle most with in deciding to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

It all comes down to belief in the fact that Jesus died on the cross for all of us to atone for our sins and then was resurrected from death to live forever.

A recent popular book and movie by the same name, “Heaven is for Real” truly piques our curiosity because it describes an afterlife experience.

My guest for this show is John Levay. John has an incredible story of his own about being killed by his father as a nine year old boy and having a very vivd afterlife experience where he met his grandfather in heaven who took him to meet Jesus but was then resuscitated back to life by his father after experiencing deep remorse!

John tells his story and how almost 44 years later his memory of the event returned to him in great detail after being repressed all that time. He also relates a second vision of Christ after a desperate prayer during a church communion service.

He then shares about wrestling with what God wanted Him to do with the revelations he received which were very specific about letting others know about the Seven Spirits saw. These Seven Spirits are mentioned in the Bible and comprise specific elements of the Holy Spirit.

This is truly a goosebump producing episode which should help confirm your belief in heaven but also create a desire to learn more about the Seven Spirits and their purpose.

There are many stories in the bible of reluctant people who resist their assignment like Moses and Jonah for example. And many of us today still struggle with our own assignment, but God always seems to have His way with us in the end doesn’t He?

My guest today is Dr. James Torkildson, a Clinical Psychologist and seasoned Behavioral Health Professional with a cultural voice that is rooted in Scripture with decades of clinical and spiritual leadership. Dr. Torkildson (known by many as “Dr. T”) has a career that spans over 40 years serving in behavioral health and faith-based organizations. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a doctoral degree in Educational Psychology & Counseling.

In this episode we discuss his reluctance to accept His assignment from God, to write a book and become a stronger voice for Christian values in a profession where taking strong positions on faith is frowned upon.

Upon retirement he received a more urgent "wake up call" on his birthday in the early morning hours and immediately sat down to begin writing his book titled "Awaken: Exposing The Web of Deception Threatening Our Faith, Family and Freedom."

Today his obedience is being rewarded with the joy one only finds when walking in the true purpose God has given him.

Servant leadership is a popular term today to talk about, and Christ himself demonstrated it by washing the disciples’ feet. As Christians we should be using our spiritual gifts in volunteer service to advance His kingdom here on earth.

But have you ever heard of Newton's first law of motion, or the law of inertia? It states that an object at rest remains at rest. And the longer an organization has been around the more it resists change.

In this show we will be examining the Catholic Church as an example, rich in tradition and ritual which anchors many to people to their faith in an ever-changing world. As an institution it relies heavily on volunteers who work for free and we are often reminded as volunteers to submit to authority.

My guest today is Dr. Kevin Cummings, a retired dentist after 40 years in private practice and from 1988 until 2012, he was the team dentist for the Kansas City Chiefs. Today he is a Catholic Church Deacon in the Kansas City area leading a new Order he helped establish called Deacons of Hope which Provides dignified housing and support for moms in need.

He wrestled with institutional inertia for several years before finally succeeding in creating a new Order in the Catholic Church which helps unwed and homeless mothers have an alternative to Planned Parenthood.

The Holy Spirit nudges us all, sometimes for decades until we at last act on the purpose he has given us and helps us achieve God's will through His power through us!

A very encouraging episode!
