A Stronger Faith

Two years ago, Amanda Domke was an angry atheist who openly challenged Christianity. Then she asked God to meet her at a dog park—and everything began to change.Amanda had spent years questioning religion, rejecting Christianity, and telling believers they were delusional. But after a series of strange encounters, she finally asked God to show Himself in a way she could recognize. The next morning, a rough-looking biker approached her at a dog park and asked, “Do you believe in God?”What followed was a dramatic spiritual awakening. Amanda says she began hearing God, receiving prophetic words for people, and experiencing the Holy Spirit in ways she never expected.Her story also includes freedom from years of severe anxiety and an eating disorder she had battled for nearly two decades. She describes moments of deliverance, visions, and encounters with Jesus that completely reshaped how she understood God, herself, and the life she had been living.This is Amanda Domke’s story of moving from atheism and active opposition to Christianity into a life of faith, hearing God, and experiencing His presence firsthand.----------👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give✟ Recommend a guest ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact✟ Become a member! ⇨ / @astrongerfaith ✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel ⇨ https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube✟ Subscribe to our Clips Channel ⇨ / @astrongerfaithclips ----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books----------Small Group Questions from this Episode:1.

Tori Gilbert had followed Jesus for years, but after being baptized in the Holy Spirit, her Christian life became something she says she never knew was possible.Tori grew up believing in God, heard His audible voice as a child, surrendered her life fully to Jesus at 19, attended Bible college, and even served on the mission field. But after years of following Christ, she found herself asking a difficult question: Is this all there is?Then she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Almost immediately, Tori says her desires changed, her relationship with God came alive in a new way, and spiritual gifts she had never experienced began appearing. What started as a few simple syllables while praying in tongues soon became what she describes as an entire language pouring out of her for hours—along with an interpretation and an urgent message from the Holy Spirit for someone she barely knew.Since then, Tori says she has experienced prophetic words, tongues and interpretation, spiritually significant dreams, supernatural discernment, evangelism, and a completely different understanding of prayer and partnership with the Holy Spirit.This conversation explores what changed, how she knew these experiences weren't simply emotion or imagination, and why Tori believes there is far more available to followers of Jesus than she once understood.----------👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact✟ Become a member of our YouTube channel! ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaith/join✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel ⇨ https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books----------✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode:1.

Val Duvall spent years as a Christian believing what the Bible said about dreams, visions, healing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit—then she began experiencing them for herself.Over the years, Val says God has spoken to her through nearly 200 recorded dreams, visions, prophetic impressions and His voice. She describes a vision of Jesus on a road she would later recognize as the entrance to the neighborhood where she has now lived for 20 years. She shares how her hands began getting hot when praying for healing, how God revealed that unforgiveness was hindering her healing gift, and how she has experienced three supernatural healings in her own body.In this conversation, Val and Stacy wrestle honestly with some of the questions many Christians have: • How do you know a vision is from God and not your imagination? • How do you recognize His voice? • Are dreams, healing and the gifts of the Spirit really available to believers today? • And what happens when someone stops simply believing these things happened in the Bible and begins pursuing God with the expectation that He is still active now?Val’s story is a journey from knowing about the supernatural life described in Scripture to personally experiencing dreams, visions, healing, prophecy and the voice of God.👉 LINKS TO BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:⇨ The Power of a Praying Parent - Stormie Omartian https://link.amazon/A0dPYwqD1⇨ The Power of a Praying Wife - Stormie Omartian https://link.amazon/A08vNrAIA----------👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel ⇨ https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books----------Small Group Questions from this Episode:1.

Joe Mathews spent years searching for God, questioning what was real, and asking for evidence. Then he challenged God directly: “Hit me right between the eyes.”Joe believed God existed, but he struggled to understand why a God who was supposedly everywhere seemed so hidden. His search led him through Eastern spirituality, séances, Ouija boards, and other spiritual experiences before he eventually walked into a Christian meeting he almost left.After responding to an invitation to follow Jesus, Joe says he felt the force of a blow directly between his eyes that sent him several feet backward. What followed was an intense encounter with the Holy Spirit that he says changed him immediately.Joe also shares about seeing what he believes was an angel, encounters with demonic activity, his search for evidence of God, and the years of faith that followed.----------👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!:✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give-----------✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact----------✟ Subscribe to our Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books----------✟ Small Group Questions from This Episode:⇨ Joe said, “You don’t need to have the experience I had to get saved.” How has God made Himself known to you in your own experience?⇨ Joe described a season when “God was present but distant”, what can we learn from his experience about trusting God when He seems distant or silent?⇨ How do faith, evidence, and our personal experiences work together in helping us believe in and know God?✟ Key Bible verses for Further Study:⇨ John 20:24–29⇨ Job 38–42 ⇨ Acts 2

Moriah Thomas spent years studying the human mind and treating trauma. Then she found Jesus at 39—and began discovering a kind of healing she had never been taught in psychology. Moriah holds multiple degrees in psychology and counseling, including a doctorate. But after coming to faith, she began hearing the voice of God, seeing angels and the spiritual realm, praying in tongues, experiencing deliverance, and pursuing the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Then her understanding of trauma began to change.Today, Moriah helps people uncover wounds and beliefs that may have been buried for years—not simply by teaching them how to cope, but by helping them quiet their minds, listen for Jesus, and allow Him to speak truth into the places that still hurt.In this conversation, Moriah and Stacy explore the difference between managing trauma and healing it, how to recognize the voice of God, what Moriah sees in the spiritual realm, and why she believes many Christians are living with far less freedom and intimacy with Jesus than is available to them.Stacy also shares what happened when he personally went through one of Moriah’s two-hour freedom sessions—and Jesus brought up something from his childhood he hadn’t thought about in decades.👉 Learn more about the freedom ministry Moriah is developing below:Website: www.riseupculture.church Email address: [email protected]✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode⇨ How have you personally experienced the “weight of truth” in your walk with Jesus?⇨ What does spiritual hunger look like in your life right now, and what helps you pursue God more deeply?⇨ What areas of your life might Jesus be inviting you to heal so you can experience more of Him?✟ Key Bible Verses for Further Study⇨ John 10:27 ⇨ Hebrews 11:6⇨ James 4:8 ----------👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!:✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books

He thought people who spoke in tongues were faking it. Then, alone in his car, he lost control of his own voice — and it didn't stop.Tyler Edwards grew up around Christianity, walked away from it, explored other beliefs, and eventually landed somewhere he wasn't sure what he believed at all. Serious kidney failure forced him to confront his own mortality — and he surrendered his life to Jesus. Days later, while driving alone, he felt prompted to pray. He opened his mouth reluctantly, determined not to fake anything.What happened next wasn't emotion, and it wasn't something he could have produced himself. He began speaking in tongues and felt what he describes as the tangible presence of God — a weight he still struggles to put into words, lasting nearly the whole day. Two months later, he received the kidney transplant he needed to survive.But Tyler's story isn't just about the encounter. It's also a warning: even after something that undeniable, your relationship with God can quietly fade if you stop pursuing Him.In this conversation, Tyler and Stacy talk openly about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, surrender, healing, and what it means to keep chasing God after the encounter is over.Tyler’s Testimony Video Submission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GPUUewmVU4---------✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode⇨ How have seasons of searching for truth shaped your faith?⇨ What does Tyler’s experience reveal about God’s timing and the posture He responds to?⇨ Describe a time when God changed the way you saw the world, yourself, or others.✟ Bible Verses for Further Study⇨ John 7:38⇨ Acts 2:4⇨ John 9:3----------👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!:✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books
