E79 Living in the light: The urgent hope of 1 Thessalonians 5

In a world shouting "peace and security," how do we live without being consumed by anxiety or complacency? The answer is found in the powerful, prophetic, and intensely practical words of 1 Thessalonians 5. In this episode, we unpack the urgent call to be "children of the light" in the midst of cultural and spiritual darkness.
We'll dive deep into:
· The profound meaning behind the "thief in the night" metaphor and why it's a message of hope, not fear, for believers.
· How to put on the essential armor of God: faith, love, and the hope of salvation.
· The life-changing triad that is God's will for you: Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances.
· The crucial balance between not quenching the Spirit and testing everything.
This is more than a Bible study; it's a rallying cry. We're moving from learning to action with a clear "Lion Roar Activation" that will help you live alert, armored, and assured, with your eyes fixed on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

Is a generational spirit trying to assassinate your future? Discover the ancient "throne-stealing" spirit blocking your destiny—and how to dethrone it for good.

Moving from 2 Kings 11 into modern-day strongholds, you'll learn to identify its attacks on your leadership, your family, and your God-given promises. This isn't just teaching; it's a guided spiritual confrontation.

E75 The first woman apostle: Unearthing Junia

What if one of the most powerful apostles in the early church was a woman—and we’ve spent centuries trying to erase her?
In this provocative and groundbreaking episode, we excavate the truth about Junia, a name buried in the closing greetings of Romans 16. For generations, translators and theologians have debated, obscured, and even changed her identity. But the biblical and historical record is stunningly clear: Junia was not only a woman but was celebrated by the Apostle Paul as being “of note among the apostles.”
Join us as we dive into the Greek text, expose the centuries-long cover-up fueled by religious tradition, and restore Junia to her rightful place as a pioneering, apostolic leader. Discover how her story—marked by suffering, authority, and early discipleship—directly confronts spirits of control and misogyny that still seek to limit God’s calling on women today. This is more than a history lesson; it’s a prophetic key to unlocking the full governmental authority of the Body of Christ. If you’ve ever wondered about women’s roles in church leadership, this episode provides the scriptural evidence you can’t unsee.

E74 Spiritual Warfare: The Battle Between Your Ears

Where does spiritual warfare actually happen? In this powerful episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we expose the real battlefield that most believers miss - the space between your ears. Join us as we explore how the enemy's oldest playbook involves twisting Scripture to make death look desirable, disobedience appear obedient, and stupidity sound wise.
We'll break down how:
Spiritual warfare is conceived in the mind but executed through the senses
The enemy makes sin "pleasing to the eye" and "desirable" just as he did with Eve
Your biggest battle gate isn't demonic manifestations but sensory persuasions
Modern examples of how Scripture gets twisted to confirm our lifestyles
The vital connection between 2 Corinthians 10 and taking every thought captive
Learn practical strategies to identify when truth is being twisted and how to fight back with divine weapons that demolish strongholds. This episode includes a powerful activation that will equip you to capture thoughts at the sensory gate and walk in complete obedience.
If you've ever wondered why certain sins feel so justified or why disobedience can appear so logical, this episode will give you the biblical framework and practical tools to win the war for your mind.
Key Scriptures: Genesis 3, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, James 1:14-15, John 8:44

E73 Your Goliath Knows There's a David Inside You

For forty days, an entire army has been paralyzed—not by spears, but by a single voice. The voice of a giant named Goliath. And maybe you know that voice, too. It whispers through your debt, your anxiety, your addiction, your failure: “You’re small. You’re weak. You’re already defeated.”
But what if that giant isn’t just a problem to survive—it’s a sign to awaken to?
In this powerful episode of Lion Roars from Zion, we dive deep into 1 Samuel 17 to uncover a truth that changes everything: Your Goliath wouldn’t be in front of you if there wasn’t a David inside of you. The giant hasn’t come to crush you—it’s been sent to call out the king in you.
You’ll discover:
Why David couldn’t wear Saul’s armor—and why you can’t fight your battle with someone else’s anointing
How Gideon, Esther, and Peter faced their “giants” and stepped into unexpected destiny
A bold, faith-filled prayer activation to silence the taunts and awaken the David within you
How to pick up your own “five smooth stones” and step into your valley with unshakable confidence
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, intimidated, or defined by what stands against you—this episode is your turning point. It’s time to stop looking at how big your giant is…and start remembering how big your God is.
Your giant’s days are numbered. Your destiny is calling.
