In 2020, I lost my best friend, Armani. It was brutal, sudden, tragic, and heartbreaking. I spent the first 3 years burying emotions, wrestling with grief, asking God tough questions, and living in a constant desperation for healing.

Has joy gone missing from the Church?Some Christians act like if you laugh too hard, the Holy Spirit leaves the room. But what if joy isn't the enemy of our faith—what if it's actually one of the greatest evidences of it?In this episode, I sit down with comedian Michael Pasvar for an honest conversation about Christian joy, church culture, comedy, faith, and why so many believers seem afraid to laugh.We talk about:• Why joy feels like it's disappearing from the modern Church• The difference between holiness and seriousness• Why comedy is rooted in truth• How laughter breaks down walls and opens hearts• Why humor can be a powerful tool for sharing the Gospel• Michael's new comedy special, Blended Feathers• Church culture, worship trends, and the tension many Christians feel todayOne of my favorite moments from this conversation is the idea that if joy were a person, we'd have to put her on a milk carton:"Missing: Joy. Last seen moving powerfully through the early church. Known for bringing life, freedom, laughter, and strength. If found, please return immediately. Things are not working well without her."Scripture tells us in Nehemiah 8:10 that "the joy of the Lord is your strength." If that's true, then maybe one of the enemy's greatest strategies isn't stealing our salvation—it's stealing our joy.🎤 See Michael Pasvar's new comedy special here: Blended FeathersBook Zach Rippey to Speak or Perform Comedy here: ⁠https://ilikebirdsministry.com/comedybooking⁠Work with Zach on a Speech: https://www.rippeywrites.com/contactHow Zach reached 30 million people with his podcast and you can too!

An Epstein survivor shares her experiences being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to the Island as well as Florida, New York, and Washington DC. She exposes the underground trafficking networks, dentist office torture, and the ongoing abuse of children tied to elite circles. The conversation dives into tunnels, rituals, political corruption, and why the fight against trafficking must remain the focus above everything else. She's also asked if Epstein killed himself. Jesus is glorified in the full episode, and the darkness is being exposed by the LIGHT!

Epstein Survivor Exposes MK Ultra, DNA Experiments, Secret Tunnels, Elites Involved, Church Infiltration, and so much more. Hope Beryl-Green shares the sobering reality that she was a DNA-manipulated baby put inside the womb of a breeder. From ages 0-5 she was tortured, abused, and unthinkable acts were done against her by programmers working for the Illuminati. She was programmed to think she was evil and that God hated her. She experienced abuse from evil people dressed up like Jesus....and at 5 years old, she was sold and signed over to Jeffery Epstein. Those years accelerated the abuse, and she witnessed the worst of the worst that is now in black and white in the Epstein Files. Hope shares the harrowing story of what happened to her and so many children like her who were forced to do terrible things in horse stables in front of Elite people in our society today. Zach Rippey asked her, "If she was on Epstein’s island? Are there tunnels there and elsewhere? Did Epstein kill himself? Why does Trump call it a HOAX? Why does Melania Trump want Epstein Survivors to testify to Congress?" And many more questions we ALL have about the Epstein Trafficking Network that runs deep and is much darker than we imagined. Hope shares how Honest Jesus RESUCED her after 30 years of being enslaved and continues to heal her daily in her journey on the other side of FREEDOM!

Broken families aren’t random—they’re built through patterns no one confronts, passed down until someone decides it ends. Most people pray for healing but avoid the honesty it actually requires, staying stuck in cycles they don’t fully understand. Real change begins when you face what was buried, not just manage the symptoms on the surface.Jerriann Webb, creator of the film Repair the Breach, shares the heart behind her movie and the reality of family restoration. One moment says it all—a young girl watched a scene and realized her family could actually be restored again.This is about the decision that shifts everything: it stops with you.What you’ll hear in this episode:• Why families stay stuck even when faith is present• The hidden patterns shaping your identity and relationships• What it really takes to break cycles and heal deeply• The role of forgiveness, honesty, and confronting the past• How one decision can change your entire family line🎬 Stream Repair the Breach:https://www.repairthebreachmovie.com/Connect with Jerriann Webb:https://www.lightbreaksthrough.org/meet-jerriannWork with Zach on a Speech: https://www.rippeywrites.com/contactBook a paid 1 on 1 stategy call for your podcast: https://tidycal.com/zachrippey23/1-on-1-strategy-call-for-podcast-launch-and-growth Need help turning your mission into a message?

What happens when a physicist trained to question everything comes face-to-face with something they can’t explain?In this unique episode of I Like Birds, Zach sits down with Dr. Putty Putman, a quantum physicist whose life took an unexpected turn after a single moment in China completely shattered his understanding of reality. What started as curiosity turned into a firsthand encounter with the power of God that he couldn’t reason away.From unpacking the science behind the movie "Interstellar" to wrestling with the idea that love might transcend dimensions, this conversation moves between physics and faith in a way that feels both grounded and deeply personal. But everything shifts when Putty shares a story where one simple prayer changed an entire room and forced him to confront something he didn’t even believe in. From there, he launched a training at over 200 schools, equipping saints to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit.By the end of this episode, you might find yourself asking some deeper questions and be glad you heard God's power shared from this man's perspective.

What happens when you pray for hours… and nothing happens?In this highly anticipated episode, David Diga Hernandez shares the raw and real story of desperately seeking God—trying everything he knew: prayer, worship, scripture, and intercession... yet still feeling nothing.After four hours of striving, frustration turned into surrender:“I don’t know how to pray… I don’t know how to find Jesus.”And that’s when everything changed.David describes the moment the presence of Jesus filled his room, what it felt like physically, from electric-like sensations to overwhelming peace and joy, and how that encounter completely transformed his understanding of the Holy Spirit.We also dive into:• What it actually feels like when the power of God moves• The reality of being slain in the Spirit• Why some people fall—and others don’t• The difference between a real encounter vs. emotional hype or faking it• How to discern what’s genuine vs. forced• Why so many believers struggle to experience what they read in the Book of ActsThis is an honest, deep, and sometimes controversial conversation about encountering God, surrender, and the true work of the Holy Spirit.If you’ve ever felt stuck, skeptical, or hungry for more of God, this episode will challenge and encourage you.📘 Get David Diga Hernandez’s book:https://www.faithandflame.com/pages/my-shop/zachrippeyUse code ILIKEBIRDS20📺 Subscribe to David:YouTube: @DavidDigaHernandezPodcast: @TheEncounter.Podcast📍 See David live:https://www.davidhernandezministries.com/eventsSupport Zach Rippey's Ministry below:🕊️ Partner with I Like Birds Ministry:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/support🎁 Patreon (Free 7-Day Trial):https://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds📘 21 Days in Africa:Amazon: https://a.co/d/3iFskiYSigned Copy: https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop/p/21-days-in-africa-signed-paperback🧢 Merch:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop🩵 PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=C55JZNGUB97EE📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ilikebirdsministry🧡 Sponsor a Child (Suubi Project):https://suubiproject.org/Sponsors:🛏️ Cozy Earth (41% OFF with code ILIKEBIRDS):https://cozyearth.com📍 Appliance Store (DFW):https://www.appliancestorenearmetx.com/ilikebirds🐜 Alpha & Omega Pest Control (DFW):Call Tim: 817-426-4445

Joseph wasn’t promoted for a gift… it was strategy.Zach Rippey and PJ Vescovi unpack one of the most overlooked lessons in the story of Joseph. It wasn’t just dream interpretation that changed history — it was wisdom, stewardship, humility, and a strategy that solved a coming crisis.We talk about what it really means to “strategize with God,” how to pursue Heaven’s agenda in business and content creation, and why obedience is often the path of the most resistance — but also the path that produces the most fruit. PJ shares how God uses believers under secular leadership, why self-promotion often gets refined out of us in the “pit seasons,” and how the way you see God will determine how you steward what He puts in your hands.Zach also shares the behind-the-scenes story of how a humbling season — including going back to work at Outback — led to a viral episode that reached millions of people around the world. It’s a powerful reminder that preparation, systems, and faithful stewardship matter when the next wave comes.If you’re building a podcast, business, ministry, or message, this conversation will challenge you to stop chasing worldly metrics and start solving real problems with Heaven’s blueprint.Get Peter Vescovi's book The Great Money Reform: https://greatmoneyreform.com/Work with Zach on a Speech: https://www.rippeywrites.com/contactBook a paid 1 on 1 stategy call for your podcast: https://tidycal.com/zachrippey23/1-on-1-strategy-call-for-podcast-launch-and-growth Want to hear more about Zach’s podcast coaching program: https://tidycal.com/zachrippey23/the-power-of-the-pod-discovery-call Launch, grow, and scale your podcast FREE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ADMIvLFDyAc?si=NN4kw-NOfzU7c3qc Book Zach Rippey to Speak or Perform Comedy here: https://www.gigsalad.com/zach_rippey-christian_comedian_speaker_alva 🤝 Partner with I Like Birds Ministry 🕊️🎁 Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds 🕊️: Make Donations on our Site:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/support 📘: 21 Days in Africa: Amazon: https://a.co/d/3iFskiYSigned Copy + Free Gift: https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop/p/21-days-in-africa-signed-paperback 🧢: Bird Merch: https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop 🩵 Paypal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=C55JZNGUB97EE ✊🏽: Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/zachrippey23 📚 I Like Books  📚 Get 20% off some of your favorite books: https://www.faithandflame.com/pages/my-shop/zachrippey Use code "ILIKEBIRDS20 at checkout.🧡 Donate to The Suubi Project + Sponsor a Child: https://suubiproject.org/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬EPISODE SPONSORS:Are you in the DFW & need a new appliance? Text Jamie Eldridge & let him know what you need: ☎817-659-6587Get your I Like Birds discount code here: https://www.appliancestorenearmetx.com/ilikebirdsAlpha and Omega Pest Control | DFW Need your bugs GONE? One Call Kills Them All! Call Tim Davis @ 817-426-4445 and this will be the beginning & the end of your pest problems:

In this episode of The Rip, Zach Rippey breaks down the key moments from the speech, the good, the bad, the weird, and why so many Americans still have questions about accountability.Plus — we dive into the latest alien disclosure buzz and what the Bible actually says about the unseen realm, and we react to Candace Owens’ new Bride of Charlie series and the growing controversy around Erika Kirk and Candace Owens.

We open the show by roasting the Super Bowl halftime outrage, Trump's remarks about Bad Bunny just days after a racist monkey meme video, and of course, we roast the strange silence around far more serious stories dominating the news cycle, like the "Epstein Files"Then we dive into our main story of the episode:Was Landon Schott’s response after visiting Robert Morris in prison truly biblical, or did something about it feel off and out of touch?Join us on "The Rip" as Zach Rippey unpacks the controversy surrounding Pastor Landon Schott’s prison visit with Robert Morris, affirming that mercy, forgiveness, and prison ministry are clearly biblical.But I also wrestle honestly with what happens when mercy goes public, critics are labeled “demonic,” and the voices of victims feel sidelined in the conversation. We watch Landon's response video and this isn’t a cancel culture rant or a hit piece; it’s a real-time processing of leadership, accountability, and how the Church navigates abuse, repentance, and restoration in front of a watching world... even when they don't go to "Your church." Again, I like a lot of what Landon Schott does, but this one just felt off, arrogant, and prideful when I believe he knew people would be triggered by his prison visit. It's like poking a beehive and getting mad when the bees start buzzing around you. Except these Bees don't like it when Pastors sexually abuse children... We close the show by zooming out to cultural leadership failures outside of the church, from Trump’s halftime comments to tone-deaf accountability... asking how Christians should respond when power, ego, and poor judgment collide.

Welcome to "The Rip" a new series we are doing on I Like Birds where we rip into the biggest headlines, viral stories, and cultural moments that need to be spotlighted in a biblical perspective. Join us for the very first episode of "The Rip" as we examine recent investigations by Mike Winger involving allegations tied to Shawn Bolz, Todd White, and leadership accountability within Bethel Church, through the lens of Luke 8:17 and 1 Peter 4:17.We then shift to cultural exposure surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein massive document releases, discussing public figures mentioned, such as Bill Gates, Jay-Z, Harvey Weinstein, Pusha T, Prince Andrew, and Brett Ratner.The conversation continues with faith entering the mainstream through moments involving Nicki Minaj, Jelly Roll, Brandon Lake, and reflections on the cost of public faith, especially as we saw at the Grammys.We close by addressing Scripture, celebrity, and true surrender through LeBron James, emphasizing that the Bible is not a quote for motivation but a call to follow Jesus as Lord. We are praying for Lebron, Kanye, and Justin Bieber, as this is a unique opportunity to choose life over darkness.

Sheesh, have you seen the mess involving Bethel Church and fake prophetic words being given by Shawn Bolz? This man was combing through Facebook profiles and doing Google searches to prophesy over people at conferences and church services... Pastor Bill Johnson heard about it directly from the victims and still platformed Shawn and didn't do much about it. Thankfully, Bethel leadership apologized for their lack of discernment, poor judgment, and failure in leadership. Episode Notes:A lot of darkness is coming to the light as Bible Teacher and successful YouTuber Mike Winger investigates Shawn Bolz's role in fake prophetic words and the spiritual manipulation that took place, the cover-up culture, and the mishaps of Bethel Church. A few days later, a new four-hour investigation video came out about Todd White, and it’s not looking good. We are unpacking this and what the church is supposed to do next as we navigate this news.

God Gave Me a Dream to Leave the Trap… Three Weeks Later It Got RaidedIn this episode, Dino and his wife Rossi from SFG Studios share the true story of walking away from street life just in time—and how one decision changed everything. At the time, they were living in a trap house, selling drugs, and one step away from prison. They left with no car, no money, and no plan, ending up living in hotel rooms. Just three weeks later, the trap house they walked away from was raided, with arrests made and lives lost. They would have been there.What followed was real life. Hotel hopping. Job rejections. Humble beginnings. Rebuilding a marriage. Raising kids. Losing friends. Slowly watching things turn around. Today, they’re making music, doing prison outreach, and using their past to reach people who feel stuck where they once were.This deep convo covers leaving the trap they were trapped in, the dream that triggered everything, and almost going back to prison. Starting over from zero, faith, money, mindset, survival, moving from street life into prison ministry, and why resources matter when you want to help people.This conversation is raw, honest, funny, and real.

AI, Aliens, and the antichrist are some buzzwords we need to look into today as Christians! Elon Musk has some wild words that warn about the dangers of AI and how it's essentially summoning the demon! Bishop Alan DiDio, comes on to answer these bone-chilling questions: - What should Christians do about AI? - Will AI benefit the AntiChrist? - Are Aliens real? Is the government hiding their existence? - Why are media personnel and government officials calling them something different now? This is a throwback to one of the most popular episodes of I Like Birds. Bishop Alan Didio drops wisdom about AI being an all-knowing technology that resembles what we saw during the "Tower of Babel" times. He encourages Christians to utilize it to spread the gospel. Powerful conversation that is still reaching people all over the world.

What happens when a metal comedy creator reaches 1 million followers on TikTok and chooses to boldly rep Jesus along the way?In this episode, my good friend Matt Reed shares how he grew a massive platform without preaching but instead used humor, creativity, and scripture in captions to become a bridge between faith and heavy metal culture. We also dive into the power of asking and why bold faith requires bold requests, how opportunities open when you stop playing small, and what happens when you ask God (and people) for more.This conversation is honest, funny, and encouraging for anyone trying to live out their faith, pursue purpose, and trust God with the next step.🚀 Work With Zach RippeyReady to launch or grow your podcast?Book a FREE discovery call with Zach:https://tidycal.com/zachrippey23/the-power-of-the-pod-discovery-callWant a paid 1-on-1 podcast strategy call?https://tidycal.com/zachrippey23/1-on-1-strategy-call-for-podcast-launch-and-growthNeed help writing a speech or message?https://www.rippeywrites.com/contactConnect with Zach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachrippey23Connect with Matt: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattreedofficialTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattreedofficial🎁 Get a FREE 7-Day Trial on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds🕊️ Donate / Support the Ministry:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/support📘 21 Days in Africa (Book):Amazon: https://a.co/d/3iFskiYSigned Copy + Free Gift:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop/p/21-days-in-africa-signed-paperback🧢 Bird Merch:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop💙 PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=C55JZNGUB97EE✊🏽 Venmo:https://account.venmo.com/u/zachrippey23Sponsor a child through The Suubi Project:https://suubiproject.orghttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOQj_M7tm_siflOiHUgHNpg/join🛏️ Cozy Earth – Get 41% OffUse code ILIKEBIRDS at checkoutBamboo Sheet Set:https://cozyearth.com/products/bamboo-sheet-set?variant=40965917835444Luxe Bath Sheets:https://cozyearth.com/products/luxe-bath-sheets?variant=42846470013108🔧 Appliances (DFW Area)Text Jamie Eldridge: 817-659-6587I Like Birds discount:https://www.appliancestorenearmetx.com/ilikebirds🛡️ Insurance Quotes (Texas)Call or text Wes: (817) 247-7827Email: [email protected]🐜 Alpha & Omega Pest Control (DFW)“One Call Kills Them All”Call Tim Davis: 817-426-4445

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?

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.

21 Days in Africa is a story of a comedian going to Uganda to preach the gospel, minister to orphans and widows, and see the love of Jesus in an impoverished region. Zach unpacks his mission trip he went on with The Suubi Project and is inspiring other believers to say, "Here I am, Lord. Send Me." In this episode, you’ll hear powerful, real-life stories from my 21 days in Uganda — moments that wrecked me, reshaped me, and reminded me what loving people like Jesus actually looks like. You’ll meet Janet, a young girl abandoned by her father; hear the wild moment God confronted me with a “SEND ME” van on the side of the road; and experience Sarge’s birthday, which turned into a masterclass in generosity and joy. These stories will shake your perspective, deepen your faith, and push you toward your calling.You’ll also step into the homes of widows, families facing extreme poverty, and kids whose joy hits harder than any sermon. If you’re craving Christian inspiration, mission trip stories, spiritual growth, or a fresh encounter with purpose — this episode will light you up.Don't miss the special taping of this story and please share it!📘 Get Zach's NEW BOOK "21 Days in Africa Signed copy: HEREAmazon: HERESupport the Suubi Project by donating or sponsoring a child: https://suubiproject.org/sponsorFind out more about Dove Publishing: https://www.dovepublishinghouse.com/Partner with I Like Birds Ministry:🎁 Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds🕊️: GIVE to I Like Birds https://ilikebirdsministry.com/support🧢: Bird Merch: https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop📣 Connect With ZachInstagram: @ilikebirdsministryFacebook: facebook.com/zachrippey23Email: [email protected]

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.
