  • Truth be told

    Have listened to her show for years and have gained so much wisdom from doing so. As well as Jack Hibbs, Brandon Holthaus, Billy Crone and many more who bravely speak truth about the what God is doing in His world. It’s amazing to see the Bible come to life when you see it through the eyes of prophecy.

  • Highly Credible Ministry

    Such a blessing to the Believers of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Only thing that is irritating is the volume of the ending music. I have to shut it down. Please can you turn the volume down? TIA.

  • Total Fear Mongering

    My friend sent this to me- and I'm disappointed.

    Fear is used to create a sense of unworthiness so that you believe everything is filled with the satanic motives of the devil. I can't get on board with a belief system where there's supposedly this all powerful loving God - yet everything it saturated with the devil. This is total cult behavior of making people feel weak and not enough so therefore they need to give up everything so "God" will forgive them and "let" them spend eternity in heav... more
