Dissatisfied
by Richell Smith
We live in a physical world with spiritual realities, but it's easy to forget that God's word says, "Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, principalities, and dark forces in the spiritual realm." We all have a story, and I believe God wants us to see His hand in it. Each of our lives is part of a bigger story, where God is the author. We need to understand that we have a real enemy who comes to "kill, steal, and destroy," and there's no denying the world around us reflects that. How do we stand against the enemy? How do we make sense of the darkness that swirls around us, and how do we stand on the truth of God's word when lies surround us? There's a lot to talk about, and this podcast aims to shine a light in the dark and raise awareness of what the enemy wants to keep hidden. Throughout these conversations, I want us to remember that we can laugh and find joy, even in the midst of this life's absolute craziness. Sometimes laughing is the best medicine, so

The Church is Being Shaken - Do You Feel It?
In this episode, I talk a little bit more about Jezebel and Leviathan in the church. It's a subject that is controversial and complex, but nevertheless extremely important for the church to understand. God is shaking things to expose what's at work. We just need to pay attention to the signs.

Control Has a Name : Jezebel and Leviathan in the Church
In this episode, I talk specifically about the spirits of Jezebel and Leviathan. Jezebel was ruthless in her pursuit of power and control. Sometimes we think the story of Jezebel is just a tale in the Bible, but the Jezebel spirit still exists today. Wherever you find control, manipulation, mocking, and domination, you can be assured that a spirit of Jezebel is at work. And when it's left unchecked, it will pave the way for an even more powerful spirit: Leviathan!

Aliens, UFOs, and the Bible
In this episode, I dive into the subject of aliens and UFOs. What does the Bible have to say about it? Are these intergalactic encounters, or interdimensional? I examine what Scripture has to say about the unseen realm, deception, and how the truth will help us interpret the crazy things happening around us.

I Had a Dream...Was It From God?
Are dreams from God? In this episode, I share some of my own personal dreams and the symbolic details in them. I give examples of how I interpret their meanings, drawing on Biblical resources, prayer, and discernment. I believe God still uses dreams to communicate with us, and I hope that after listening to this episode, you will be inspired to pay attention to your own dream life.

We all have an ugly side and the ability to hurt other people. In this episode, I talk about seeing the ugly side of things, including myself. I also discuss how toxic traits of control, manipulation, and gossip have no place in a healthy church. I hope this episode shines some light in the darkness. Thanks for listening.

Out of Body Experience, a Taco Bell Dollar, and the Supernatural
Do you believe in the supernatural? Have you ever had anything happen that you can't explain? In this episode, I share a few stories that I believe are supernatural. Many times, we are so distracted that we don't pay attention to what God is showing us. We excuse things as coincidences instead of realizing that sometimes the spiritual realm collides with our physical realm. I hope you enjoy this fun and eye-opening episode. This episode is marked explicit due to a brief mention of smoking pot as a teen.

In this Episode, my husband, Jared, joins me for a chat. He has spent almost 25 years as a firefighter and has seen some crazy things. He shares about the spiritual side of things he's encountered on the job. One of the emergency calls was a story featured on Dateline about a Christian missionary who murdered his wife. That story opens the door for a conversation about men who stand behind the pulpit on Sunday, but live double lives behind closed doors.

Head-On Collision, Distractions, and Going After the Enemy

Looking back on this incident, she realizes it was likely an attempt by the enemy to take her out. The conversation turns to the distraction of our phones and the sinister agenda behind the mind-numbing effects of constant smartphone use.
