Conrad Rocks | Spiritual Warfare, Supernatural Faith & Kingdom Living

What if the whole world was being deceived and you were the only one who knew the truth? Have you ever actually felt like that? It is a heavy, isolating feeling. You are standing in a room, and everyone is nodding along to a lie, and your spirit is screaming, "No, that is not right!" But because the lie is popular, because it is comfortable, or because it is being pushed by someone with a lot of initials after their name, you are the one who ends up looking like the crazy person. I remember moments like that back in the 70s and 80s. This was long before we had a supercomputer in our pockets. Back then, if you wanted to know something, you had to go find a book. You had to spend hours in a library, smelling that old paper and dust, tracking down footnotes. I was always a curious kid—I loved to read, and I realized early on that knowledge was power. I remember being in a room where a specific argument was being made. Everyone else was in total agreement, but I had done the le...

  It was an ordinary Tuesday night when everything changed for Sarah. She had just gotten into bed after finishing up some work when suddenly a bright light shone through her bedroom window. She tried to get up but found herself completely paralyzed, unable to move or speak. The next thing she knew, Sarah was being levitated out of her bed and pulled feet-first through the window by an unseen force. Looking up, she saw a glowing, disc-shaped craft hovering ominously above her house. She was brought inside the strange ship and placed on a cold metal table in a room with blinding lights. Shadowy humanoid figures with large, oval eyes surrounded her. One of the creatures approached and, without warning, inserted a long needle into Sarah's arm, causing her to slip out of consciousness. When she awoke, Sarah was lying in the field behind her house. She was confused, disoriented, and there were strange, unexplained markings left on her skin. Wait a minute here. Are these creatures act...

  Spirit-Led Evangelism: Insights from an AI Conversation I recently had a fascinating dialogue with an AI assistant named Pi about the topic of spirit-led evangelism. We dove deep into what it means to authentically follow the leading of the Holy Spirit when sharing the gospel.  Here are some key insights from our conversation: Using AI for theological dialogue with caution - I discussed priming the AI and verifying anything unfamiliar it claims, since AI can sometimes be wrong or "hallucinate" answers. We must confirm new information learned from AI against Scripture and other sources. Why apologetics alone doesn't always reach people's hearts - We discussed how intellectual arguments, while important, often fail to resonate emotionally with people. As Conrad shared from his own experience, it took a real spiritual encounter with Jesus to change his life. The power of miracles and spiritual experiences - Miracles can prepare people's hearts for the gospel b...
