    The One End Times Deception No One Mentions

    What is the "great deception" spoken of in scripture, and are we already living through its opening stages? In this powerful and heartfelt episode, host Mike Hoskins pulls back the curtain on a profound prophetic dream regarding spiritual warfare and the subtle ways the enemy is infiltrating the modern world.

    From the rising narrative of UAPs and extraterrestrials to the watering down of spiritual authority, Mike explores why many believers feel stuck and how to reclaim the power intended for the Church. We dive deep into the biblical significance of the name of Yeshua (Jesus), the necessity of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and why genuine faith is your only shield against the coming delusions.

    If you’ve been sensing a shift in the spiritual atmosphere, this video is a clarion call to stay vigilant, seek deliverance, and return to the raw power found in the Book of Acts.

    🗝️ Key Topics Covered
    • The Prophetic Dream: A detailed look at Mike's vision of spiritual warfare and the nature of modern deception.
    • The Authority of the Name: Why the specific name of Yeshua carries weight that "watered-down" titles do not.
    • The UAP Deception: How the "extraterrestrial" narrative fits into end-times prophecy.
    • Baptism in the Holy Spirit: Understanding the role of speaking in tongues and spiritual gifts in overcoming strongholds.
    • Spiritual Breakthrough: Personal testimony on healing and the importance of prayer and fasting.

  • He Almost Lost His Marriage Until He Learned This About Empathy
    Mar 29 2026

    In this powerful episode, host Michael Hoskins sits down with John Zellner to discuss the hidden traps that sabotage even the strongest relationships. John opens up about his upbringing in a conservative "Bible Belt" town and the "darkest point" of his life during college where he drifted from his faith.The heart of this conversation dives deep into The 4 Marriage Killers—inspired by the research of Dr. John Gottman—and how these behaviors nearly destroyed John’s own marriage. John identifies how he struggled with:Criticism: Having a critical spirit and comparing himself to others.Contempt: Letting frustrations stew into a "teapot" of resentment.Defensiveness: The prideful need to justify mistakes instead of practicing humility.Stonewalling: Walking away or staying silent during conflict.John also shares how discovering his neurodivergence and understanding attachment styles helped him and his wife, Brittany, move from chaos to a place of Shalom. Whether you are a husband looking to lead your home better or a couple struggling with conflict resolution, this testimony offers hope and practical resources like "Jimmy on Relationships" and "When God Writes Your Love Story"
