558: 10 Warning Signs Every Messenger Must Heed: Guarding Your Call with Truth and Courage

This episode isn’t for the faint of heart. Tamra brings a weighty but freeing word straight from the Lord—ten powerful warnings that every messenger, leader, and believer must take seriously if we’re going to carry His truth without compromise.

From false idols to secret sins, from pride to apostasy, Tamra calls us to wake up, armor up, and live out the fullness of our call with eyes wide open. It’s not about playing church or chasing platforms—it’s about living set apart, holy, and on fire for the Kingdom.

These are hard truths, but they’re drenched in grace and urgency. Grab your journal, open your Bible, and get ready to be convicted, equipped, and released into greater freedom.
