Conflict, Deception, & The War for the Pulpit | w/ Rod Smith

In this powerful episode, Rod Smith joins me for a raw and honest conversation about church division, spiritual maturity, biblical truth, and why the modern body of Christ is struggling to stay united. We talk about the 40,000+ Christian denominations, the dangers of corporate-style church structures, and the supernatural clarity that comes when believers gather with humility and let the Holy Spirit lead.

Rod also shares his journey through trauma, awakening, and learning to walk boldly in his calling. We break down strange Bible verses, discuss spiritual warfare inside the church, and explore what real biblical unity actually looks like.

If you’ve felt frustrated, confused, or spiritually isolated in today’s church culture… this conversation is a breath of fresh air. ✨
