"Every hard thing that has happened... we can take that and compost it." In this episode of Mic Check Real Life, host Michael Hoskins sits down with Kristina Moutrey to share a powerful testimony of transformation. Kristina opens up about her journey through three defining words: Abandonment, Addiction, and Identity.Kristina’s story begins in a volatile environment as the child of teen parents. She faced the early trauma of her father’s terminal illness and her mother’s mental health struggles, leading to a "first wave" of abandonment and time spent in foster care. These hardships eventually spiraled into a self-destructive season of meth addiction and homelessness in Phoenix, Arizona.In this video, you will hear:The Power of Boundaries: How a "bold man"—who later became her husband—helped her choose friendship and sobriety over drugs.The Compost Analogy: Why Kristina views the "crap" of her past as the necessary nutrients to bear fruit in her current 15-acre homesteading life.Becoming a "Bridge Builder": How God led her to learn American Sign Language (ASL), leading to a fulfilling career as an interpreter at Lee University and a mentor in the Deaf community.Restoration: The miraculous healing of her relationship with her mother and her redefined perspective of God as a Father who never abandons His children.Kristina’s testimony is a reminder that no matter how deep the wound, God is a physician who can bind those scars and use them as evidence of His healing power.

Do you have a personal experience with any of the themes Kristina mentioned, like finding a "bridge" in your own life?

What is the "great deception" spoken of in scripture, and are we already living through its opening stages? In this powerful and heartfelt episode, host Mike Hoskins pulls back the curtain on a profound prophetic dream regarding spiritual warfare and the subtle ways the enemy is infiltrating the modern world.

From the rising narrative of UAPs and extraterrestrials to the watering down of spiritual authority, Mike explores why many believers feel stuck and how to reclaim the power intended for the Church. We dive deep into the biblical significance of the name of Yeshua (Jesus), the necessity of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and why genuine faith is your only shield against the coming delusions.

If you’ve been sensing a shift in the spiritual atmosphere, this video is a clarion call to stay vigilant, seek deliverance, and return to the raw power found in the Book of Acts.

• The Prophetic Dream: A detailed look at Mike's vision of spiritual warfare and the nature of modern deception.
• The Authority of the Name: Why the specific name of Yeshua carries weight that "watered-down" titles do not.
• The UAP Deception: How the "extraterrestrial" narrative fits into end-times prophecy.
• Baptism in the Holy Spirit: Understanding the role of speaking in tongues and spiritual gifts in overcoming strongholds.
• Spiritual Breakthrough: Personal testimony on healing and the importance of prayer and fasting.

In this powerful episode, host Michael Hoskins sits down with John Zellner to discuss the hidden traps that sabotage even the strongest relationships. John opens up about his upbringing in a conservative "Bible Belt" town and the "darkest point" of his life during college where he drifted from his faith.The heart of this conversation dives deep into The 4 Marriage Killers—inspired by the research of Dr. John Gottman—and how these behaviors nearly destroyed John’s own marriage. John identifies how he struggled with:Criticism: Having a critical spirit and comparing himself to others.Contempt: Letting frustrations stew into a "teapot" of resentment.Defensiveness: The prideful need to justify mistakes instead of practicing humility.Stonewalling: Walking away or staying silent during conflict.John also shares how discovering his neurodivergence and understanding attachment styles helped him and his wife, Brittany, move from chaos to a place of Shalom. Whether you are a husband looking to lead your home better or a couple struggling with conflict resolution, this testimony offers hope and practical resources like "Jimmy on Relationships" and "When God Writes Your Love Story"
