Episodes
What if the “ultimate love language” isn’t a preference but a Person? We open in prayer and walk straight into agape —selfless, sacrificial, enduring love—and how it outlasts feelings, fixes what doesn’t fix, and the subtle contracts we make when we demand to be loved our way. We get honest about how childhood abuse, church hurt, and father wounds can warp how we receive love and how we see God. Then we talk healing that sticks: Je...
What if marriage isn’t something we build and ask God to bless, but a gift God authors in the Spirit and then reveals in the natural? We dig into a richer, quieter truth: love is the highest way, covenant is God’s idea, and favor flows where faithfulness stands.
We connect Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to show how spiritual gifts—service, encouragement, teaching, discernment—are meant to serve the person closest to us. Th...
What if spiritual power isn’t about methods, but about permission? We open up the spirit realm with scripture and personal stories, showing why authority flows from a relationship with Jesus, not from rituals, followers, or hype. From Acts 19’s sons of Sceva to Daniel 10’s delayed angelic messenger, we map out how legitimacy, timing, and jurisdiction shape real breakthroughs and why “power without permission” invites backlash.

Power without permission is just noise. We dive into the spirit realm with a straight claim: real authority flows through one door, and that door is Jesus. Together we unpack why some prayers feel heavy while others land with quiet force, how atmospheres and altars shape the flow of gifts, and what the Bible actually says about entering by the Gate rather than climbing the wall.
We ground the conversation in scripture and ...
If comfort has started to feel like a cave, this conversation is your map out. We start with the raw pattern in Judges, sin, oppression, repentance, rest, and ask the hard question: why do we keep circling the same ground when we love God? The answer isn’t more noise or new routines; it’s training. We unpack how God leaves “giants” in our landscape to teach warfare, strengthen obedience, and grow in real spiritual authority. That m...
Have you ever felt like prayer is just another task on your spiritual to-do list? What if prayer could transform from an obligation into the most natural conversation of your day?

The line between genuine faith and religious performance has never been thinner. In this powerful opening to Season 2, we dive straight into a divine warning: a seducing spirit has been released that's capturing the ear gates and eye gates of believers everywhere.

What does it truly mean to rest in God? Not the physical rest that comes with sleep, but the spiritual posture that brings freedom from anxiety, worry, and the weight of trying to control everything in your life.
In this powerful season finale, we explore the concept of spiritual rest as Jesus described it in Matthew 11:28-30. When Christ invites us to "take my yoke upon you," He's offering a divine partners...
What does it truly mean to be free from sin? Not just managing it, not just struggling against it, but genuinely free? In this deeply reflective episode, Walter and Shanea confront a paradox many believers face: calling Christ "Lord" while remaining enslaved to sinful patterns.
Drawing from Romans 7 and 8, they explore how many Christians live as if they're still bound, unaware that Christ has already provid...

In this raw and vulnerable episode, we share the remarkable journey of our God-ordained relationship. From our first encounter at an apartment complex parcel locker to ...
What begins as a harmless glance can become a destructive obsession when left unchecked. Walter and Shanea explore the profound biblical concept of "lust of the eye" and how it extends far beyond sexual temptation to encompass any uncontrolled craving that diverts our focus from God.
The hosts dismantle the common misconception that lust is exclusively about sexual desire, revealing how this spiritual principle a...
Do you know the difference between godly suffering and self-induced pain? In this eye-opening episode, we tackle the often misunderstood concept of what it really means to "suffer for Christ."

Have you ever given God some of your heart but held back the rest, especially relationships? The prodigal son gives us a profound blueprint for genuine repentance and restoration in our relationship with God and others. Walter and Shanea unpack this powerful parable, revealing how true transformation begins when we're broken enough to surrender everything.
Most of us approach God selectively—we give Him parts of our l...
Have you ever wondered why you struggle to hear God's voice despite your devotion? In this eye-opening episode, Walter and Shanea challenge the limiting belief that God only speaks through Scripture. With refreshing candor and spiritual insight, they explore how believers often serve a multidimensional God while approaching Him as if He's one-dimensional.
The couple navigates powerful biblical examples demonstrat...
Do you ever wonder why it feels so difficult to hear God's voice? Perhaps the challenge isn't that God has stopped speaking, but we've never truly learned how to listen.
In this profound exploration of spiritual communication, Walter and Shanea dive deep into the art of hearing God's voice in a world filled with distractions. They challenge the common misconception that divine communication is reserved ...
What if intimacy was never meant to start with your body, but with your spirit? In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the true nature of intimacy beyond physical connection, exploring how authentic relationships begin with vulnerability before God first.

The spiritual consequences of sex outside of marriage run far deeper than most realize.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
