A Stronger Faith

Charlene Watson asked God to let her see in the Spirit. Today she sees angels, prays for the sick and watches people get healed. She believes every Christian was meant to live this way.

Charlene is the woman who prayed with Mandy Arriola in episode 176 for the healing in her legs (watch Mandy's episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VZ5AwI7AXk.) Charlene now helps lead a Friday Morning Prayer Group, where people come for healing, deliverance and freedom.

In this conversation she shares:
• How she asked God to see in the Spirit, and the hard year that followed
• A college athlete who couldn't speak for six weeks, and the prayer session that gave her voice back
• Why unforgiveness is the open door she sees most often in healing ministry
• What walking in the Spirit looks like day to day
• Why most Christians never experience the supernatural, and where to start.

Be sure to stay to the end as Charlene closes by praying over you for healing, freedom and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

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.

Tiera Hoaglund grew up surrounded by abuse, neglect, and addiction—and called herself a Christian without knowing if God even loved her. Then, alone in her basement, she says she saw Jesus and felt the power of God move through her body like electricity.

Tiera spent part of her childhood homeless, watched her mother cycle through destructive relationships, and saw her siblings taken away. She swore she would never repeat those patterns—yet eventually found herself surrounded by addiction again.

As she began pursuing God, reading the Bible, confronting her past, and asking for more of Him, she started to realize He had been drawing her toward Himself all along.

Then came the encounter that changed the course of her life. Tiera says she saw Jesus, felt God’s power move through her body for hours, and heard the words her heart desperately needed: “I see you. You are My child. I love you.” The woman who once only believed about God says she finally knew Him for herself.

This is Tiera’s story of trauma, redemption, and an encounter with God so powerful that she has never been the same.

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.

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.
