Isaac found great consolation in his Mormon faith, but years of reading, talking, and studying made him have second thoughts. Ultimately, he had to ask himself: is this true, and why or why not? Isaac Hess joins the show to discuss his conversion process, growing ever-deeper into the heart of Christ.

The #1 podcast Telepathy Tapes took the world by storm, but they left out vital spiritual truths. Joseph Infranco shares exactly what they cut: detailed, jaw-dropping spiritual experiences from people with non-speaking autism. While they might not say much on the outside, their interior worlds are filled with startling Christian realities of angels, demons, Jesus, and heaven.

The media tries to hide the fact that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, but Nigerians know it all-too-well. Muji Kaiser was born in Nigeria and goes back every year to visit, and she tells us about the realities of Islamic Jidahist persecution of hundreds of thousands of Christians in her home country. We also discuss the recent Trump airstrikes and how that impacts the ongoing persecution.
