God Is Not A Theory

What does it take to live your faith out loud in a culture that resists it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with Casey Harper—D.C. journalist, host of The Outstanding Podcast, managing editor for broadcast at The Washington Stand, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
From his vantage point between the White House and the Capitol, Casey shares his journey from small-town East Texas to the front lines of faith and public life. Together the three explore a recovered theology of persecution "for righteousness' sake," why a healthy faith must be able to stand even when the church is weak, the difference between partisanship and faithful engagement in the public square, and how personal consecration builds the fortitude to do the right thing under pressure. It all ties back to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and Casey's striking word from Joel 3: "consecrate for war," a call to spiritual preparation, not violence.

What if the light God placed in you only shines as the vessel breaks? Ken Fish and Kady Taylor welcome back Jeffrey Fazl—longtime friend, church planter, and deliverance minister from Australia—for an honest, tender conversation ahead of the Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
Jeffrey shares openly about seasons of "eclipse"—years in Indonesia, deep grief, and recent dark nights of the soul—and how the Lord kept drawing him back out with fresh purpose. From that comes the thread running through the whole conversation: brokenness feeds the carnal man, and healing it—through inner healing, deliverance, and confession together—sets us free to shine. Tying it to the conference theme, he unpacks luminosity as the light within, emerging not by striving but as the fear and performance that keep us hidden are healed.
In this conversation:
Jeffrey's seasons of "eclipse"—and how the Lord drew him back out

Why "brokenness feeds the carnal man"

How inner healing, deliverance, and confession work together

Luminosity as the light within, emerging as the vessel breaks

The difference between damaging brokenness and being broken before the Lord

Keeping a soft heart instead of hardening it

The war against a "performance" mindset

Reaching the next generation with heroes, encounter, and real power

What happened to the prophetic movement—and what will it take to rebuild it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with John E. Thomas, leader of Streams Ministries International (founded by the late John Paul Jackson) and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
John argues that the implosion of the prophetic over recent years is both the inevitable fruit of what was sown and the judgment of God—a purging meant to clear away defilement so a healthier generation can arise. He traces the warning signs back to the 1990s: creeping Gnosticism and universalism, divination dressed up as revelation, the loss of the fear of the Lord, and the teaching that imagination is revelation and discernment is unnecessary.
The conversation keeps returning to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and why a clean "lens" is essential to perceiving what God is actually saying.
In this conversation:
Why the collapse of the prophetic was both consequence and divine judgment

Why true prophetic ministry includes justice and judgment, not only comfort

"Imagination is revelation" and other dangerous errors

Emotional atmosphere vs. the genuine presence of God

How the medium we learn through shapes the way we think

Why intercession is core to the prophetic

The sons of Zadok—and treating the holy as holy

Why holiness keeps the lens of the soul clean

In an age that rewards outrage and calls it revelation—what does real prophetic integrity look like? Ken Fish and Kady Taylor welcome back Dr. Mark Chironna—prophet, teacher, and holder of three earned doctorates—for a deep, honest conversation on the prophetic, the church, and the way forward.
Dr. Mark Chironna will be one of the speakers at Luminosity (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/
He names the challenges of a post-truth age—celebrity Christianity, the "McDonaldization" of the church, and self-appointed prophets without accountability—yet remains deeply hopeful about a fresh move of the Spirit in the next generation. Drawing on his book ‘Prophetic Integrity and the Elijah Legacy’, he shares candidly about his own dark season of anxiety and depression, and how God meets us in the darkness.
In this conversation:
Celebrity Christianity and the "McDonaldization" of the church

Why the future belongs to a Spirit-filled, global church

Being "Barnabas" to the next generation

Dr. Mark's dark season—and how God met him in it

Why accurate predictions alone don't make a true prophet

The "heavenly council" and the prophethood of all believers

Why there's no transformation—and no wisdom—without suffering

What does it mean to truly shine for God?
In this episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish is joined by physicist-turned-minister Putty Putman—along with Grant Pemberton and Kady Taylor—for a thoughtful conversation ahead of Orbis Ministries' Luminosity Conference.
Together, they explore the biblical meaning of luminosity—what it means to reflect God's light in the world—and why consecration and holiness are essential for every believer. They discuss how science and faith complement one another, the dangers of building morality around self, and why this is a season to embrace spiritual disciplines with renewed intentionality. Whether you're preparing to attend Luminosity or simply longing to grow deeper in your walk with Christ, this conversation offers practical wisdom and fresh encouragement.
In this episode:• What "luminosity" means—and why Jesus called us the light of the world• Why science and faith flow from the same source• Consecration as an act of the will; holiness as a lifestyle• The Old Testament picture of unclean, clean, and holy• Why "toddler morality" falls short of biblical holiness• Letting God—not self—define the center of our moral universe• The present grace for spiritual disciplines and an ordered life• Recognizing God's kairos moments and responding with faith
