There Are Angels Living Among Us — The Crown, The Calling, and the Handbook
There are angels living among us—and most people don’t even realize it. In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, I share one of the deepest revelations God has ever shown me: that angels are not just in heaven or moving invisibly around us… but present on earth, living among people, walking in everyday life—often without even knowing who they are. Rooted in scripture, including Bible passages like Genesis 6, Colossians 1:16–17, and Hebrews 13:2, this episode explores the reality of angels on earth, the difference between fallen beings and those sent by God, and what it means for how we see the people around us. But it doesn’t stop there. I also share a life-changing encounter with an angel who revealed something called the Crown of Angels—a moment that redefined my identity, my calling, and my spiritual authority. In this episode, we explore: The truth about angels living among us The biblical foundation for angels on earth The difference between the fallen (Nephilim) and those sent by God Why God would place angels among people The revelation of the Crown of Angels and what it means How God prepares His people for purpose in the last days The arrival of two seraphim and the introduction to The Handbook of the Angels You’ll also hear how the Handbook reveals: How heaven actually moves What activates angels Why praise is more powerful than most people realize And why God is allowing things to shake in this season This isn’t just about angels. This is about identity, authority, and preparation. Because if angels are living among us… if heaven is active… if God is preparing His people… then the real question is: Are you ready for what’s coming? 🎧 Listen now and discover how heaven is moving in the earth—and what it means for your life.

Angels Over the Nations — What They Revealed About What’s Coming
I met angels assigned to different regions of the world—and their message was the same. In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, I share a powerful encounter with angels who watch over the nations of the earth, each sent with a message about the state of the world and what God is calling His people to do right now. These weren’t vague impressions. They were direct. Specific. And deeply consistent across every region. From the United States to Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, each angel revealed the same core truth: God has been present. God has been protecting. But now… God is calling people back to Him. We are living in a time where: nations are shaking truth is being challenged fear is amplified and uncertainty is everywhere But this episode isn’t about fear. It’s about understanding the purpose of the shaking and learning how to stand firm when everything around you feels unstable. In this episode, I cover: Encounters with angels assigned to regions of the world The repeated message heaven is sending to the nations Why God allows shaking—and what it reveals A conversation with the angel Michael about shaking the foundations A warning from the angel Rafael about global change and instability What it means to stand firm in uncertain times How to stay grounded in truth when everything is shifting This message is not about panic. It’s about preparation. Because the same God who allows shaking… is the God who holds you steady.

Your Passion Isn’t Random — The Cherubim and Your Assignment
Some angels care about peace. Some care about weather. Some care about childbirth, animals, or love. And what I was shown… changes how you see yourself. In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, I share encounters with cherubim — the angels who execute the will of God — and what they revealed about how heaven actually works. Cherubim are not random. They are assigned. Focused. Purposeful. And according to what I was shown… so are you. We often think our passions are just personality traits — things we happen to care about. But what if they’re not random at all? What if the things that pull at your heart… the things that bother you when they’re wrong, or excite you when they’re right… are actually connected to your assignment? In this episode, I walk through: The role of cherubim and how they carry out God’s will The three types of cherubim and what they do Encounters with angels assigned to peace, weather, childbirth, animals, and love How angels respond to obedience (including the fall of Jericho) The connection between spiritual gifts and purpose Why your passion may be the clearest indicator of your calling We are living in a time of uncertainty — politically, emotionally, and spiritually. But heaven is not confused. God is still assigning purpose. And angels are still moving. If you’ve ever wondered why certain things matter so deeply to you… this episode will help you see it differently. Because maybe your passion isn’t random. Maybe it’s your assignment. Listen, reflect, and ask God how what He placed inside you can be used. If this episode spoke to you, share it with someone who’s searching for purpose.

I Met The Devil One Night
In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, Angela Crystal shares a deeply personal story from her spiritual journey — the night she was awakened by violent commotion in her bedroom and later learned that a spiritual battle had taken place. Through encounters with angels like Mario, Rayleo, Cryshantante, and Shakanstante, Angela reflects on what it means to stand firm in faith when intimidation, deception, and fear try to take control. The experience revealed a powerful truth: evil survives on intimidation, but it collapses when confronted with the authority of God. This episode explores the spiritual concept of “the Sword of Righteousness,” the power in the name of Jesus, and why truth is the greatest weapon against fear, lies, and spiritual warfare. Angela also connects this lesson to the uncertainty many people feel today — from global conflict to cultural confusion — and explains why learning to recognize and resist spiritual intimidation matters now more than ever. This is not a story about fear. It’s a story about exposure, authority, and the truth that God’s will cannot be stopped. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by fear, doubt, or the noise of the world around you, this episode will remind you that truth is still the strongest weapon you have. Topics in this episode: Spiritual warfare and faith Angel encounters and divine protection The power of the name of Jesus Standing firm in uncertain times Truth vs deception Christian spiritual authority

Cancer, Angels, and the Power of Prayer
What happens when your body becomes a question mark? In this deeply personal episode of Angels & Side Quests, Angela Crystal shares the story of her unexpected cancer diagnosis, the fear and uncertainty that followed, and the spiritual experiences that helped carry her through it. Years before her diagnosis, Angela wrote about an angel named Sholeo, whose purpose was simple: “I have come to be a caretaker.” At the time, she didn’t know how meaningful that message would become. After years of unexplained pain and countless doctor visits, Angela was finally diagnosed with a rare form of large B-cell lymphoma discovered during ovarian surgery. What followed was a season filled with hospital waiting rooms, late-night anxiety, questions about mortality, and the heavy moment of telling her children and family that she had cancer. But it was also a season where prayer, community, and faith showed up in powerful ways. In this episode, Angela explores: • The emotional reality of living with a cancer diagnosis • The fear and uncertainty that comes between medical scans and results • How faith, prayer, and spiritual support helped steady her mind • The role angels played in reminding her she was not alone • Why community and intercession matter when someone is facing illness • How miracles sometimes appear quietly through the hands of doctors Against all expectations, the surgery that removed the tumor appears to have removed all traces of the cancer, and Angela’s scans have remained clear ever since — something her doctors still struggle to explain. This episode is a story about fear, faith, healing, and the unseen support that can carry us through life’s hardest moments. If you or someone you love has faced cancer, illness, or a season of uncertainty, this conversation is a reminder that hope, prayer, and community can coexist with even the hardest diagnoses.

God is Able, Even When You're Not
In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, Angela Crystal speaks to the moments when your strength runs out — and faith feels thin. What happens when you’ve prayed, tried, endured… and you still don’t have it in you? What happens when obedience feels heavy, clarity feels distant, and your capacity just isn’t there? This episode is about the tension between human limitation and divine sufficiency. We explore: • Why burnout doesn’t disqualify you • The myth of “strong faith” always looking strong • How God’s ability isn’t dependent on your energy • Surrender as alignment — not failure • What it means to trust God’s power when yours is gone You were never meant to carry everything. You were never meant to be the source. When you are weak, He is not worried. When you are empty, He is still able. If you’re tired but still trying — this one is for you.

Community is a Side Quest You Can't Do Solo
We love the idea of independence. Strong faith. Personal prayer. Just me and God. But that’s not how we were designed. In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, we talk about the truth most of us learn the hard way: you cannot walk out your calling alone. Community isn’t optional. It’s not a bonus feature. It’s part of the assignment. God may call you individually, but He never meant for you to grow in isolation. In this conversation, we explore: Why isolation feels easier than vulnerability How pride quietly keeps us disconnected The difference between being alone and being unseen Why spiritual growth requires other people And how God often answers our prayers through community If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, unsupported, or tempted to withdraw — this episode is for you. Faith is personal. But it was never meant to be private. You were not created to do this side quest solo.

The Day Everything I Loved Burned — And the Aftermath
In this deeply personal episode of Angels and Side Quests, Angela Crystal shares the day her entire life collapsed — and what happened next. From high school sweetheart to sudden betrayal, what felt like total destruction became the beginning of divine reconstruction. When a single sentence ended a marriage, uprooted a home, and shattered everything she thought was permanent, Angela was forced into a side quest she never signed up for: divorce, single motherhood, and spiritual reckoning. But was it loss… or deliverance? In this episode, we explore: • Betrayal and trauma • Spiritual warfare and God’s will • What happens when your life burns to the ground • The difference between destruction and surgical removal • How restoration begins in the ashes If you’ve ever felt blindsided by life, questioned God in your pain, or wondered whether your collapse was actually protection — this episode is for you.

Sacred, Silly, Serious: Why All Three Matter
In this episode of Angels & Side Quests, Angela Crystal explores the full emotional range of faith — and why spirituality was never meant to be one-dimensional. Somewhere along the way, faith spaces became tense. Solemn. Heavy. As if laughter disqualifies reverence. But what if joy is not immaturity — what if it’s spiritual authority? Angela unpacks: • Why seriousness does not equal holiness • How joy becomes strength (and resistance) • Angel encounters that carried unexpected lightness • Spiritual warfare reframed through confidence, not fear • Why laughter can shame intimidation • How wholeness — not rigidity — is alignment Featuring reflections on angelic encounters, spiritual identity, Romans 8:28, and the power of refusing fear, this episode reminds you that heaven is not anxious — and neither should your faith be. You don’t have to edit yourself to belong. Sacred. Silly. Serious. All three matter.

Faith on Hard Mode
Somewhere along the way, we were told that if we loved God enough, life would smooth out. But what happens when it doesn’t? In “Faith on Hard Mode,” I talk about the myth of easy faith, spiritual burnout, disappointment, and what it means to endure when everything feels heavier than expected. From seasons of peace to sudden upheaval… from anger to rebuilding… this episode explores how God sustains us — not always by rescuing us, but by giving us just enough strength to keep standing. If your faith feels stretched, tired, or tested right now, you’re not broken. You’re being built.

The Cost of Knowing God
What happens after God starts speaking? In this episode of Angels and Side Quests, I share the story of what it actually cost me to know Him — not metaphorically, but personally. From infertility to miracles. From marriage to misunderstanding. From publishing a book no one asked for to years of silence. This is about the part no one prepares you for — the loss, the isolation, the pruning, and the presence that never left. If you’ve ever felt called but unseen… gifted but silenced… certain God is real but unsure why it hurts… This episode is for you. Because knowing God is expensive. But not knowing Him costs more.

Death, Burials, and the Resurrection
In this Lent episode of Angels & Side Quests, Angela Crystal explores what happens beyond this life — and why the resurrection of Jesus changes everything. Through personal spiritual encounters during her 2010 fast, Angela shares what she learned about the angel of death, the reality of eternity, and the urgency of choosing Christ. Death, in Christ, is not terror — it is transition. Not defeat — but homecoming. But Lent doesn’t end at the grave. On Good Friday, Angela encountered Jesus the Christ — living, present, and powerful. In this episode, she reflects on the song sung over Him on the cross, His resurrection declaration, and the authority believers carry in His name. This conversation moves beyond fear and into purpose. Because communing with angels wasn’t the greatest gift given. Jesus was. If you’re walking through Lent, wrestling with questions about eternity, or seeking deeper faith, this episode invites you to make space for God — and remember that resurrection is real.

This episode explores Lent, spiritual hunger, obedience, and what it means to seek God sincerely—without performance, pressure, or perfection. If you’re craving a deeper relationship with Jesus, wondering how to fast with intention, or feeling called to reset your faith, this episode is your starting point.
