   EP. 267 — 2026 Prophetic Word: Alignment, Inheritance, and Kingdom Advancement

   What is God saying for 2026? In this powerful episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson sits down with returning guest and mentor Robert Hotchkin to unpack a 2026 prophetic word that isn't hype, it's positioning. If you've ever rolled your eyes at "new year prophetic words," this conversation brings clarity: prophetic words aren't just predictions, they're a partnership. Robert explains how a kairos word carries grace to perceive, believe, and receive what God is emphasizing in a season—so you can align, move forward, and advance the Kingdom. In this episode, you'll hear why the Lord is shifting the Church from defense to offense, and why 2026 is a year of alignment, inheritance, building, and advancement, a call to wake up, grow up, and power up so we can upend what the enemy built and build what God is establishing. Key themes covered: ✅ Why prophetic words matter (and how to judge them biblically) ✅ The difference between predictive prophecy vs positioning prophecy ✅ Kairos timing: does a "year word" expire? ✅ 2026: Get Past Your Past (even past blessings that keep you stuck) ✅ "Agags must die" — compromises must be confronted ✅ Authority revival: the awakening the Church must have ✅ Breaking victim mentality and stepping into Kingdom authority ✅ Genesis 26 for 2026: unblocking generational wells of blessing ✅ Noah-building grace: building what's never existed before ✅ Righteousness & holiness as identity and power, not legalism 🔥 PLUS: Ryan and Robert also invite you to join their live online Healing & Miracle Service (every other Tuesday) where they pray, flow in words of knowledge, and believe for breakthroughs—live.

   EP. 266 — PROPHETIC WORD for 2026: Will We See an Economic Shift, Restoration, and Revival Fire?

   In this episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson welcomes first-time guest Jess Pardo for a powerful prophetic word for 2026 — covering the economy, restoration, and a fresh wave of Holy Spirit revival. Jess shares what she believes the Lord revealed about a coming buyer's market with potential price drops in housing and automotive, and why believers must learn to walk by faith, not by headlines. Ryan and Jess also unpack the difference between being hungry for truth and craving the presence of God, plus why 2026 will be marked by restoration, vindication, and sevenfold recompense for those who stayed faithful in hidden seasons. You'll also hear about Jess's new podcast, G2644, built around the biblical call to reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5), and how God is drawing people back into intimacy, revelation, and the "mystery box" of deeper understanding in Him. If you've felt delayed, overlooked, or weary from the last few years, this conversation will strengthen your faith and reset your expectancy for what God is about to do. KEY TOPICS: ✅ Prophetic Word for 2026 ✅ Economy & Buyer's Market (Housing + Cars) ✅ Faith vs fear and competing voices ✅ Restoration, vindication, and sevenfold payback ✅ Revival and Holy Spirit "defibrillator" awakening ✅ Spiritual hunger vs craving the presence of God ✅ Mysteries of God & intimacy with Holy Spirit ✅ Launch of the G2644 Podcast (Reconciliation) 👉 Subscribe to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast and join the movement of believers being forged for God's glory! 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Destiny Image Podcast Network | EastTN TV ✉️ Connect with Ryan Johnson Ministries: 🌐 Website: https://ryanjohnson.us 📧 Email: info@ryanjohnson.us 🎙 Podcast: The Blacksmith Chronicles 📖 Books & Resources: Visit our website 📣 Don't Forget To: ✅ LIKE the video ✅ SUBSCRIBE to the channel ✅ SHARE this episode with your community ✅ COMMENT with your thoughts or questions #PropheticWord #2026Prophecy #RevivalFire #FaithOverFear #RyanJohnsonMinistries #TheBlacksmithChroniclesPodcast

EP. 268 — After 7 Years, I'm Ending the Podcast — Here's Why (268 Episodes Later)

Published 3 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] In recent years, the Blacksmith Chronicles podcast is not experienced growth. Instead, it's had a decline. That's been in those that listen. That's been the decline in shares. That's been the decline in views. And even though I genuinely love podcasting, honestly, it no longer makes sense for me to continue investing the amount of time and the financial resources that are required in order to sustain it. Now, I know that there will be those that do listen to the podcast and they feel like the podcast potentially is a success. And I want you to know that I received that thought process with deep gratitude. […]
