The hospital hallway where the Haggertons lost a baby boy became the place God brought redemption through adoption a year later.
In this episode of the I Like Birds Podcast, Dr. Jim Bob shares his raw journey through child loss, grief, and the miracle of becoming an adoptive family. This conversation explores true identity, why adoption reflects the heart of the Kingdom, and what pro-life faith looks like when it’s actually lived out. From pain to purpose, this testimony reveals how God restores what suffering tries to steal. If you’ve wrestled with loss, calling, or why Christians should adopt, this episode will move and challenge you.

What if the struggles most men face aren’t random, but the result of living in a shadow version of who they were created to be? In this deep convo, Preston Woody joins Zach to break down the four core roles of a man—King, Warrior, Poet, and Priest—and the eight shadow figures that hijack each one. Through faith, psychology, and the example of Jesus as the perfect man, you’ll discover how to step out of the shadows and become more present, grounded, and whole.🔗 Connect with Preston and Zach

At 18 years old, Jamison Charles had eight felonies and was sentenced to more time in prison than he’d been alive.
During our live audience show, Jamison shares how 27 years behind bars, a praying mother, and a bold challenge to God led to a complete transformation. What began in prison with a pen and a prayer turned into a life of purpose, authorship, ministry, and restoration.
You’ll hear:
• What prison is really like when the doors close
• How God called his bluff and changed the narrative
• Why writing saved his life
• What redemption looks like after release
• How Jamison is helping others before, during, and after incarceration
This is a story of grace, responsibility, and the power of letting God rewrite the ending.

Why do Christians keep bailing on commitments? Why do plans fall apart, friends flake, and disappointments stack up all at once?
In this episode, we dive deep into cancelled plans, broken commitments, flaky friends, and the spiritual lessons God uses to grow us through relational challenges. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tested, or emotionally drained by the people around you, this conversation is going to speak directly to your season.
Trevor and I unpack:
• How God uses cancelled plans and disappointment
• Why flaky people might be a divine filter
• The difference between transactional and relational believers
• How offense blinds your calling
• What spiritual maturity looks like inside real relationships
This episode is especially for you if you’ve felt:
• Frustrated with people who don’t honor their “yes”
• Confused by recurring relational patterns
• Hungry for deeper, more meaningful Kingdom relationships
God wastes nothing, Not even flakiness, cancellations, or disappointment. If you’ve been asking, “Lord, what are You teaching me in this?” …lean in. There’s breakthrough here.

Pastor Marcus Rogers opens up like never before. At 12 years old, he stood on a bridge ready to end his life — until he heard God speak the words: “Don’t do it, son.” That moment marked him forever.
God spared him multiple times — through war, street violence, heartbreak, betrayal, and spiritual warfare. This is the raw testimony behind the boldness millions see online. Marcus shares how God broke him into a million pieces, rebuilt his purpose, and called him into ministry with fire, clarity, and compassion.
“I had to break you into a million pieces to feed you to a million people.”
We also dive into major conversations in Christianity today: Maverick City, Diddy, Charlie Kirk, Philip Anthony Mitchell, the American church, spiritual deception, Nigerian persecution, Trump, college indoctrination, and holiness.
If you’ve ever wondered what Marcus really thinks, what he’s seen behind the scenes, or why he speaks the way he does — press play.
Bold. Honest. Unfiltered.

Steve Kang never heard of what the Bible calls hell until he was led there by satan. The agony he describes from his time there is riveting. The beings he saw there have no light, no joy, and no faces.
No babies, children, animals, or plants. 🪴
Steve was awakened in a hospital room, surrounded by local Christians, and gave his life to Jesus immediately.
He's been preaching the word of God ever since and has read the bible over 100 times! Powerful story, please share with your fellow brothers and sisters both saved and unsaved!

"You don't go through grief, grief moves through you." This is what I learned over these 5 years of walking through life with a broken heart after losing my best friend, Armani. I was led by the Lord to return to the river where he lost his life and begin writing a book about his life, legacy, and eternal resting place. The book is called "Me, Armani, & Jesus" and is dropping in 2026.
Hear me unpack how God healed my grief. This is a bonus episode for you - This was an interview on the Everyday Miracles Podcast

Daniel also shares the fruit his house church has generated by simply hosting a worship night and posting the videos on Instagram. We also dive into the topic of tithing and radical generosity that comes when you step into cheerful giving. Thank you Daniel Molina for joining me from Hawaii!

Favor From God Comes Before Favor With Man
God’s favor changes everything.
Before we ever find favor with people, we first walk in favor with Him. That’s the divine order—and even Jesus modeled it.
📖 Proverbs 3:3–4
📖 Luke 2:52
📖 Acts 2:46–47
Join me to hear fresh revelations, scriptures, and my personal story of experiencing God’s favor at the Armed Media Conference. From unexpected interviews, prophetic words, divine connections, open doors, and even comedy opportunities—I saw firsthand how faithfulness turns into harvest.
You’ll hear
✅ Why favor with God must come first
✅ How Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, Esther, and Mary walked in favor
✅ Testimonies of divine favor at Armed Media Conference
✅ Insights from Joseph Z, Alan Didio, Larry Ragland, Brad Stine, and David Diga Hernandez ✅ Why sowing is the key to success and breakthrough
✅ How God uses faithfulness, content, and media to spread the Gospel today
🌍 The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. God wants to use your story, your gifts, and your voice to reach this generation.

#christian #marketing #churches
Zach Rippey explores the wild spiritual truths surrounding the biblical figure Barabbas and his connection to Jesus. Why did MAN choose the wrong Jesus? Or was this an even deeper representation of the Father's love for us? The conversation also highlights Josiah Queen's song 'I Am Barabbas' and its powerful message of redemption, as well as reflections on the film 'The Passion of the Christ' and its impact on understanding the sacrifice of Jesus. We will unpack the Actor who played Barabbas, a goosebump-level faith conversion that sparked from a LOOK from Jesus!*Apologize about the video and audio being a tad out of synch, still trying to figure out my home studio setup and new software being used.
