In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Jonah Wilson and Matt Johnson for a hilarious, honest, and weighty end-of-year conversation that turns sharply into a prophetic call: the Church has a leadership problem, and it’s rooted in a lack of journeying with people.

Together they unpack what it means to follow Jesus and lead others at the same time. From Peter’s messy, Spirit-led learning curve to modern leaders who raise people up too quickly without real parenting and accountability, this episode challenges listeners to move from past-to-present thinking into present-to-future leadership.

You’ll hear why:

• Leadership requires releasing others, not gathering crowds
• “bigger buildings” can be the wrong dream
• Some endings must be expedited to step into new mantles
• Healthy ministry needs boundaries (“good fences make good neighbours”)
• Every leader needs wells, not constant drains
• We all need people beside us, and someone to pull up

If you’ve been faithful in the pew, the Bible study, or the background, consider this your push: it’s time to lead something, journey with someone, and build a company of leaders for what’s ahead.

In this end-of-year episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Louise Reid and Karyn Stewart for a lively, provocative, and deeply prophetic conversation about curiosity, courage, sharpening, and the call to get out of the boat.

As 2025 draws to a close, the trio reflects on what must be carried forward, and what must be left behind. They unpack the necessity of relationships that challenge us, conversations that sharpen rather than soothe, and the danger of comfort masquerading as faithfulness.

This episode explores:

• Why provocation can be a gift from God
• How curiosity keeps us spiritually alive
• Why comfort and fear are equally limiting
• Peter’s leap out of the boat - and why sinking wasn’t failure
• The power of being rescued by Jesus after the leap
• How betrayal, failure, and discomfort become catalysts for growth
• Why God deliberately frustrates the status quo
• The call to adventurous faith as we step into 2026

This is a conversation for leaders, pioneers, and believers who sense that the season ahead requires more bravery, more curiosity, and more dependence on God than ever before.

In this reflective, vulnerable, prophetically charged episode, Emma Stark sits down with Taylor and Ali McFarlane to unpack their greatest spiritual and emotional learns of 2025. After a turbulent year marked by unanswered prayers, unexpected challenges, breakthroughs, stretching moments, and divine interruptions, the trio shares the raw process of walking with God through a season where nothing looked predictable, and everything required surrender.

Join Emma Stark, prophet Matt Johnson, and first-time guest prophet Taylor McFarlane for a breathtakingly honest conversation about childhood trauma, father wounds, trust issues, prodigal seasons, healing, and discovering the tenderness of Father God.

Taylor and Matt open their personal stories with unprecedented transparency—sexual abuse, childhood chaos, foster care, murder, abandonment, trauma in adulthood, and the long road to trusting God as Father. Their stories are devastating, redemptive, and full of miraculous turnaround.

This episode is a prophetic lifeline for anyone navigating trauma, deconstruction, prodigal seasons, spiritual distrust, or the long slow healing of the heart.

In this powerful and deeply practical episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined again by Amanda Atkinson and Karen Stewart for a raw, insightful conversation about how God purifies the heart, not just through criticism, but through praise, flattery, and fame.

Beginning with Proverbs 27:21, “The crucible is for silver, the furnace for gold, and a person is tested by the praise they receive,” the trio unpack how today’s younger generation is facing a very different test than the generations before them. While older generations were shaped by rejection and scarcity, today’s emerging voices are being shaped— and sometimes warped— by instant validation, likes, comments, and premature promotion.

Emma, Karen, and Amanda dive into:

• How praise and affirmation can expose hidden impurities
• Why social media “success” is spiritually dangerous
• How to build relationships where correction can actually land
• The difference between true celebration and flattery
• Why unconscious incompetence is the hidden epidemic of our day
• The necessity of real communion and trustworthy friends
• How God uses community to refine, humble, and heal us

This episode will challenge your assumptions, strengthen your discernment, and help you develop a purified, humble, teachable heart—no matter your age or calling.

In this urgent episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Amanda Atkinson and Karen Stuart to unpack a weighty prophetic word received on the way to the studio.

Amanda shares what she saw in the spirit:

• assignments of chaos, darkness, and civil war across nations
• subtle, underhanded division being released into families, churches, and businesses
• sabotage in the economy and a demonic push to fracture covenant relationships

Emma and the team draw a sharp distinction between:

• God’s righteous judgments in the nations (Isaiah 26:9), and
• the enemy trying to overplay his hand with internal wars you must NOT permit.

Inside the episode:

• How to say: “God can do what He needs to do in the nations. But the enemy will not have my family, church, or business.”
• Why this is a time to fight for families of families, covenant communities, and kingdom businesses
• A frank conversation on the Anglican Communion, liberal theology, and when it’s time to come out and be separate
• The rise of harvest apostles and kingdom innovators who will build in war
• How pioneers in finance, healthcare, and business can bridge people out of old structures into the new
• The heart posture required for pioneers: no bitterness, no offense, ready to receive the very people who persecuted you in the last season
• The critical issue of timing: when to stay and war, when to walk away, and how to avoid being the “boiled frog” who waited too long

This is a sobering, faith-stirring call: Get into the timings of the Lord. Build in war. Protect what God is raising, and refuse to partner with division.

When God says “Go”, how do you respond? In this episode, Emma Stark is joined by Melina O’Donnell and Micaela Souza, affectionately known as the M&Ms, to unpack their incredible four-year journey of obedience. From Pennsylvania to Georgia, Florida, Brazil, and finally Glasgow, their story is one of faith, surrender, and trust in the whirlwind.

In this episode we cover:

• How to obey without over-explaining or over-planning
• What it means to travel light and live in the river of God
• How to build community anywhere you go
• Lessons from Proverbs 3:5 — trust without leaning on your own understanding
• How not to double-check every word like Gideon
• Why it’s okay to make mistakes in obedience — God redeems it all

Plus, Emma shares a moving story of a mysterious “Moses” who appeared at GPA and modeled the same kind of radical yes that still marks the prophetic family today.
