Can Watching a Scary Movie Open a Spiritual Portal—or is That Just Fear Talking? - Jonathan Pokluda
Is watching a scary movie just entertainment—or something spiritually dangerous?
In this bold, honest conversation, Candace, her son Lev, and Pastor Jonathan Pokluda dig into how the enemy uses division—not just destruction—as his most effective tactic. From media boundaries to church gossip to family disagreements, they explore how spiritual warfare often plays out in ordinary moments.
Lev opens up about an eight-month season of spiritual doubt and how one vulnerable prayer shifted his heart. Listener Holly’s question gives way to a beautiful discussion on how parents can walk with their kids through doubt—without panic, shame, or fear.

Are You Believing a Lie? How Do You Know What’s True? - Jonathan Pokluda
What if the enemy could convince you that sin is freedom—and silence is safety? In this deeply personal episode, Candace, Lev, and Pastor JP unpack how the enemy deceives by flipping the value of everything: making cheap things seem worthy and making eternal things seem disposable.
JP opens up about switching price tags on a Boys II Men CD as a teenager—a story that becomes a metaphor for how we can be mislead. They explore how spiritual apathy, pride, fear of man, and a shallow view of eternity can all keep believers quiet when the world needs truth the most.
Candace shares about her own conviction over staying silent on set and Lev wrestles with pride and significance. This episode is both sobering and empowering, calling every listener to live for what truly matters.

How Distracted Are You? Is This The Biggest Problem Today? - Jonathan Pokluda
What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t fear—but distraction? Candace, JP, and Lev unpack how the enemy uses busyness, noise, and even our own thoughts to keep us from intimacy with God.
JP shares the emotional story of a dying man whose final words—"Don’t wait like I did"—remind us how easily we can miss what matters most. From golden calves to glowing screens, the team exposes how distraction can become modern-day idolatry and explains why the mind is the primary battleground in spiritual warfare. Candace also opens up about the mental exhaustion of spinning too many plates and how she’s fighting to reclaim peace, focus, and rest.
You’ll walk away with practical strategies to identify your biggest distractions and learn how to redirect your attention back to Jesus. Because if the enemy can’t destroy you—he’ll try to distract you.

Can Demons Hear Your Prayers? The Truth About a Real Question - Jonathan Pokluda
What if the devil knew your weaknesses better than you did? In this episode, JP explains how the enemy studies our habits, patterns, and even family history—like a coach analyzing game film—to find ways to destroy us. But the good news? God equips us with everything we need to stand strong.
Candace, Lev, and JP open up about spiritual warfare in everyday life—from the arguments in a young marriage to the pressure of working in the public eye. They talk about how demons can't read our minds but can observe our words, habits, and bloodline to wage a targeted attack. JP explains what Scripture means when it talks about generational strongholds and how geography, culture, and even well-meaning Christians can unknowingly become instruments of discouragement.
They also dive into what it means to put on the armor of God, how spiritual warfare isn't always loud or cinematic, and why prayer is the key to staying grounded. You’ll also hear a powerful listener question from a woman facing chronic illness while raising a young family—and the hope that comes from remembering this truth: you're not home yet, but God is with you every step of the way.

Demons at the Country Club- Jonathan Pokluda
What happens when a casual conversation at a Utah country club turns into a full-on demonic encounter? In this stunning episode, JP shares a first-person story of deliverance that confirmed his conviction that spiritual warfare is real. But it’s not just something that happens somewhere else, to other people, in foreign countries —it can happen in a golf clubhouse too.
Candace, Lev, and JP break down what authors in the Bible write about angels, demons, and strongholds. They also discuss the idea of sin opening people to demonic oppression, the Biblical model for spiritual authority, and how to discern God’s voice from the enemy’s lies. This one will make you laugh, think, and maybe think about your local golf course a little differently!
