EPISODE SUMMARY:
This episode is not background noise. It is an invitation into encounter.

Malaine sits down with her brother in Christ and new friend Joshua Adkins, co-founder of Sent Ones (sentones.co), for a raw, Spirit-filled conversation on deliverance, discipleship, inner healing, and what happens when you stop striving and start resting in Jesus.

Joshua shares his turning point at 19, when the Holy Spirit spoke to him so clearly he pulled his car over: “It’s time you give Me 100% or nothing at all.” From there, he unpacks the hidden roots behind a 12-year autoimmune battle tied to shame and self-rejection, and how God challenged his theology, introduced him to inner healing, and brought real breakthrough.

You will also hear powerful stories of deliverance breaking out in ordinary spaces, a house church turning into a living room revival, and why the presence of God exposes what is hiding.

This is for the one who is tired of trying to be a “good Christian” and is ready to actually know Jesus.
