Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory.

In this episode, we explore the critical difference between knowing what God’s Word says about your identity and applying that truth in your life. We’ll dive into key scriptures that reveal the authority we have as followers of Christ, but we won’t stop there. Knowledge alone isn’t enough—it’s in the application that transformation happens. Are you standing on the promises of God when challenges arise? Are you declaring His truth over your circumstances, or are you living beneath your spiritual potential?

Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory.

In this episode, we dive into the profound difference between considering God’s Word and actually agreeing with it in our daily lives. Many believers spend time reflecting on Scripture, weighing it as an option or a suggestion — but true transformation happens when we align our thoughts, actions, and decisions fully with God’s truth. We’ll explore what it means to walk in agreement with God, using powerful biblical examples where faith requires action, not just contemplation. If you’re ready to move beyond merely pondering God’s will and start living it out with boldness and conviction, this episode is for you!

Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory.

In this episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood concept of humility and explore how God, in His infinite love, invites us into humility rather than forcing it upon us. Many people mistakenly view humility as something God imposes through harsh circumstances or fear, but the truth is far more profound. God doesn’t force Himself into our lives to break us down or humiliate us—He patiently waits for us to open our hearts and respond to His gentle prompting.

Join us as we uncover how being “humbled by choice” leads to deeper intimacy with God and greater spiritual growth—where love, not fear, becomes the driving force behind our transformation.
