DISCIPLES IN THE MAKING
Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney
 
Making disciples in Yeshua is at the very heart of advancing His indwelling life and spreading the gospel of Christ. Discipleship is more than just teaching—it’s about cultivating a deep, personal transformation, where believers embrace their true identity in Yeshua and allow His Spirit to work through them. When followers are truly discipled, they don’t just learn about faith; they live it, embodying the love, grace, and truth of the Messiah in every aspect of their lives. This process leads to a vibrant, Spirit-led life that reflects the very nature of Christ, inspiring others to seek Him with open hearts.
The gospel is most effectively spread through discipled lives, not merely words. As believers walk in close relationship with Yeshua, their actions and testimony become a beacon of hope to a world searching for truth. When disciples invest in others—mentoring, encouraging, and guiding them—they create a ripple effect, multiplying the reach of the gospel far beyond what one person alone could accomplish. True discipleship fuels a movement of spiritual awakening, where generations are equipped to carry forward the message of salvation and transformation in Yeshua.

MY EXCHANGED LIFE STORY
Featuring Dwayne | UK
 
Podcast Episode: "Breaking Free – Dwayne’s Journey from Wokism to the Indwelling Life of Yeshua"
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dwayne, a man who once embraced the shifting ideologies of wokism, only to find himself spiritually bankrupt, restless, and searching for truth. The world promised him enlightenment, purpose, and identity—but instead, he was left weighed down by confusion, self-reliance, and fleeting social validation.
Dwayne shares the raw reality of his struggle to break free—the tension between cultural norms and the call of Yeshua, the battle between deception and divine truth, and the painful yet beautiful process of surrendering to Messiah’s indwelling life.
Through God’s relentless pursuit and the ministry of IOM America, Dwayne experienced the Exchanged Life, where striving was replaced by true rest, where worldly approval gave way to eternal belonging, and where Yeshua became his strength, his shield, and his identity.
This episode is a wake-up call to those trapped in ideological bondage, a testimony of redemption, and a celebration of Christ’s victory within all who surrender to Him.
Are you ready to hear a story of spiritual warfare, breakthrough, and triumph? Tune in now.

GENERATION Z END TIMES STRESS
Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney & Russ Tope
 
We must be prepared to answer the pressing questions of the end times that weigh on the hearts and minds of Gen Z. This is a generation bombarded by conflicting worldviews, cultural confusion, and spiritual distractions. If we, as the Church and as mentors in the faith, remain silent or unclear, we risk leaving them vulnerable to deception and despair.
If we do not step up with truth, clarity, and compassion, this could become the generation that exchanges spiritual inheritance for counterfeit ideologies. Now more than ever, we must rise with urgency—not in fear, but in love—to disciple them in the unshakable Word of God, to anchor them in the hope of Yeshua, and to equip them to stand with wisdom and boldness in the days to come. Their spiritual future depends on how we steward the truth today.

LIBERTY IN HIS NAME
Featuring Stephen Phinney  | Vocalist Tony Townshed
 
True Liberty Is Found in the Name of Yeshua.
In a nation that equates liberty with autonomy and self-expression, Scripture offers a radically different definition: true liberty is found in surrender to Yeshua, the Messiah. His name—Yeshua, meaning “salvation”—is not merely a title but a declaration of divine rescue from the bondage of sin, fear, and death.
Freedom from Sin, Not Freedom to Sin.
Yeshua declared, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). This freedom is not a license to indulge the flesh, but a liberation from its tyranny. Paul shouts this out in Romans 6:22:
“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.”

THE KISS OF JUDAS
Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney & Douglas Starbrook
 
From Betrayal to Belief
Growing up, betrayal felt like a recurring chapter in my story. Family, friends—even those I thought I could trust—let me down at every turn. Sometimes it was subtle; other times it cut deep. Words twisted, promises broken, kindness used as leverage. I learned early how to wear armor, how to smile through disappointment, and how to keep my heart just out of reach. I didn’t realize it at the time, but this web of hurt was shaping more than just my relationships—it was shaping my view of Yeshua.
I heard the message of His love, His faithfulness, His presence—but I couldn’t embrace it. How could I trust a Savior I couldn’t see when everyone I could see had left me questioning love altogether? My faith started out cautious, hesitant. I believed, but from a distance. I prayed, but with guarded hope. I expected Yeshua to turn away like the others had—and in some moments, I even assumed He already had.

THREE KINGDOMS
Featuring Jonnie T. and Dr. Stephen Phinney
 
In this powerful episode of The Three Kingdoms, we explore the deep spiritual conflict that unfolds when two individuals struggle for control over the third kingdom—their relationship itself. Whether in marriage, friendship, or partnerships, human nature often drives us to claim authority over what ultimately belongs to Yeshua.
The conversation delves into the battle of wills, where personal desires, pride, and fear lead two people to wrestle for dominance rather than surrendering their bond to Christ. As tensions rise, the episode reveals how self-reliance and control distort relationships, pulling them away from God's intended design. However, through biblical insight and raw testimony, the discussion turns toward redemption, surrender, and the power of the Exchanged Life—where true unity can only be found in handing the third kingdom back to its rightful King.
Listeners will be challenged to examine their own relationships, recognizing where personal ambition may be overshadowing the presence of Yeshua.
 
Through faith-centered wisdom, this episode offers a transformative perspective on letting go, trusting fully in God's sovereignty, and allowing Him to reign over the relationships He has given us.

I AM NOT WHAT I DO
Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney & Douglas Starbrook
 
I Am Not What I Did
There was a time when I believed that my identity was rooted in my actions. If I succeeded, I was valuable. If I failed, I was worthless. Every choice, every mistake, every regret—I wore them like labels. I thought what I did defined who I was, and so I lived in a cycle of performance, shame, and striving. When I fell short (as I often did), I would carry the weight silently, believing I had proven yet again that I wasn’t enough.
But Christ met me in that place—not when I had it all figured out, but when I was buried beneath the weight of my own definitions. Through His Word, He revealed something that shattered my old way of thinking: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17). That truth hit me hard. I realized I had been living from my past, not from His promise.

JOSHUA'S STORY | FROM REJECTION TO ACCEPTANCE
Through the Indwelling Spirit and Guidance of IOM America.
 
My name is Joshua, and here is my Exchanged Life story. From a very young age, I was acutely aware that I was different. The rejection I faced in my childhood was relentless and soul-crushing. At school, I was often the target of cruel teasing and isolation. My peers saw me as an outsider, someone who didn’t belong. The emotional scars ran deep and followed me into my adolescence. I spent countless nights questioning my worth and place in this world, grappling with feelings of abandonment and loneliness.
 
Despite the turmoil, there was always a glimmer of hope within me, a faint whisper that there was more to life than the pain I was experiencing. This whisper grew louder as I stumbled upon IOM America and its Christ-as-Life discipleship program, the Identity Matters study. Skeptical yet desperate for change, I decided to give it a try. So should you!
