   EP 025: Quietly Suffocating in Performance Culture with Shea Jackson

   Shea’s Mic Drop Moment: “Performance culture is the thing that creeps up over and over. If you’re an employee, you’re rated on job performance. If you’re a mom, you’re rated on how your KIDS perform. And it’s always based on the ‘do’. And while the ‘do’ is important, it’s more important the foundation from which it comes out of .” – Shea Jackson In this compassionate episode, I sit down with Shea Jackson, a loving mother who allows the Mother heart of God to spill over ever so beautifully into this episode. Shea talks intimately about the troubles of pledging allegiance to Performance Culture - the insidious measurement for approval mindset - and how she dewormed it from her spiritual foundation. You’ll hear of how she radically stopped doing everything that the church approved of and found out that God still loved her anyway. What You’ll Hear: The moment that broke Shea’s entire theology and family pattern What to do when you’ve done all the right things and you still fail How to experience and accept the love of God without striving How to keep the main thing the main thing in your relationship with God Join the Conversation: Share your voice by rating the podcast and leaving a review where applicable.

   EP 024: The Voice of God vs. The Voice of Control with Dr. Tony Robinson

   Dr. Tony’s Mic Drop Moment: “Religion will always place restrictions on you. It will always tell you what you can't do. It will always remind you of who you aren’t. But true freedom in God calls you into who you are.” – Dr. Tony Robinson In this powerful and unapologetic episode, I sit down with Dr. Tony Robinson, a prophetic voice who refused to let religious trauma silence her divine call. She shares her gripping journey from cult-like control to Holy Spirit-led confidence—and how she broke free from the shame that religion weaponized against her. Dr. Tony gets raw about spiritual manipulation, church hurt, and the terrifying moment she realized she didn’t recognize God anymore. If you’ve ever questioned whether what you were taught was God or just a pastor playing god—this episode will shake you free. What You’ll Hear: The shocking moment Dr. Tony realized she was in a religious cult How religion distorted her identity—and how she got it back The difference between God’s voice and religious conditioning Spiritual gifts are meant to be used, but identity comes first Join the Rebellion: Share your voice by rating the podcast and leaving a review where applicable.

   EP 023: Decolonizing Christ: Finding Faith, Frequencies, & the Father at Burning Man with Mike Jackson

   Mike’s Mic Drop Moment: “Why do we try to find evil in everything, when God called everything good?” – Mike Jackson What if everything you were taught to fear was actually God trying to free you? In this boundary-pushing episode, I sit down with Mike Jackson, a Native American prophetic voice who unlearned colonized Christianity and rediscovered God in places the church called demonic. From hiding his identity to survive religious racism, to giving “readings” at Burning Man, to experiencing literal open-heaven moments, Mike exposes the control-based systems that tried to strip him—and all of us—of divine inheritance. We go deep into Native American culture, energy healing, crystals, sound frequency, and why most of what we call “witchcraft” is just creation waiting to be redeemed. Warning: This episode will shake your theology, stretch your spirit, and spark a fire in your bones. Key Takeaways: Religion teaches fear. Kingdom releases freedom. If your “God” demands conformity, it might be time to check who you're really worshiping. Spiritual suppression is a colonizer tactic. Erasing cultures, languages, and bodies of wisdom is how control is enforced—Mike’s story proves it. Crystals, energy, and frequency aren't evil—they're created. God breathed into every atom, so stop demonizing what He called good. You don’t need to convert to be loved. Whether you’re Native, Hindu, gay, or growing—you’re not a project. You’re a child.
