In this bold, uncompromising, and deeply biblical episode, Ryan Johnson tackles one of the most emotionally charged, misunderstood, and avoided subjects in modern Christianity — tithing. Is tithing biblical today? Is it a command, a covenant, or a control mechanism? Is 10% a rule, a starting point, or something deeper?

This episode is not a fundraising appeal, not a manipulation tactic, and not designed to shame believers. Instead, it is a discipleship-focused, Scripture-anchored conversation that addresses money as Jesus did — as a matter of lordship, trust, stewardship, and heart formation.

Ryan walks through:

• The biblical origins of tithing before the Law
• What Jesus actually said about money and obedience
• Why grace doesn't abolish generosity — it transforms it
• The difference between discipline and devotion
• Why money exposes fear, trust, identity, and allegiance
• How unresolved wounds around finances affect spiritual formation
• Why the local church still matters, even when it's imperfect
• And the hard but healing truth: giving reveals who truly reigns in your heart

This is an episode for those who are tired of slogans and ready for Scripture, maturity, and honest discipleship.

Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. In this hybrid episode, Ryan Johnson joins Robert Hotchkin for a bold, Spirit-led conversation unpacking Ryan's Prophetic Word for 2026: "The Throne Room & the Battlefield."

As cultural hostility increases and biblical truth is challenged, this word is a rally cry for the Body of Christ—calling believers out of stillness, softness, and silence and into covenant authority, kingdom boldness, and spiritual warfare from victory.

You'll hear practical prophetic insight into the "taunting spirit" operating like a modern Goliath through major spheres of influence, and why 2026 marks a decisive moment to confront intimidation, compromise, and retreat. Ryan also shares the prophetic significance of 26 (YHWH/Yahweh) and why 1 Samuel 17:26 serves as a blueprint for courage, identity, and action—moving from the throne room into the battlefield with purity, presence, and power.

Have you settled for a good Christian life instead of a God-ordained one? 👀

In this powerful message on the Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson shares his born-again testimony from November 30, 1997—when God delivered him from addiction, pills, and partying and raised up a new man in Christ. Out of that encounter, Ryan now carries a burning word for the Body of Christ: Many believers aren't stuck because of sin…they're stuck because of comfort.

In this episode, Ryan exposes the subtle danger of choosing good things instead of God things—good sermons, good worship, good programs, and good church activity that never actually lead to transformation, surrender, and true discipleship. Using passages like Isaiah 43:18–19, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Luke 10:41–42, and Romans 12:2, he calls believers out of spiritual stagnation and into a lifestyle that is:

• Fully surrendered to Jesus
• Aligned with the Word of God, not emotions or culture
• Willing to leave "good enough" for the perfect will of God
• Hungry for revival, holiness, and authentic transformation

Ryan also confronts the deception of "being a good person" as a substitute for being born again, reminds us that Heaven is not inherited by goodness but through surrender to Jesus, and challenges the Church to move from good moments to God movements that shake cities and nations.

If you've been feeling spiritually stuck, lukewarm, or too comfortable, this message will convict, encourage, and realign your heart with the purpose and assignment God has for your life.
