Step into a conversation that travels from a small-town stage to the corridors of power. Christy Stutzman tells a story of unexpected doors—an operatic childhood, a 9/11 wake-up call, a razor-thin election victory, and life inside Congress—that becomes a call to arms for anyone who cares about the soul of a nation.

When a trip to Israel and a reading of Matthew 5 stirs conviction, she pivots from preserving a beloved historic theater to writing musicals that offer a different cultural pipeline. Along the way she reveals how art, faith, and civic duty intersect, and why the stories we tell today shape the leaders of tomorrow.

Hear the origin of Washington’s Ring of Spies—a revolutionary tale of secret sacrifice and quiet heroism—and discover how storytelling can reclaim truth, cultivate courage, and hand a better inheritance to your children.

This episode is for parents, creatives, and those who believe our kids are being discipled by something—so let it be us. Tune in for practical encouragement on defending culture, training artists of excellence, and raising “kingdom arrows” for the next generation.

On Mother's Day weekend, Hannah invites listeners into a raw, encouraging conversation about the unseen labor of motherhood — the repeatable, ordinary moments that feel small but hold eternal weight. Between dishes, bedtime questions, and the relentless hustle of family life, she shares a vulnerable story of comparison, doubt, and a husband’s timely reminder that faithfulness in the tiny tasks matters.

Rooted in scripture and seasoned with personal confession, this episode unfolds like a letter to every tired mom: plant, water, and trust God for the growth. Hannah weaves practical encouragement, hard-earned wisdom, and promises from Zechariah, Corinthians, and Galatians into a narrative that will help you breathe, release perfection, and see your ministry at home as true kingdom work.

Tune in for comforting truths, a reminder that you are seen by God even when the world doesn’t notice, and an invitation to keep showing up — because the harvest is coming.

Join Hannah in the Treehouse as she sits down with Pastor Philip De Courcy—born in Belfast, called by God—to unpack a life shaped by prayer, danger, and a surer hope than this world can offer. Through stirring personal stories and pastoral clarity, Philip traces the thread from his own conversion and policing days to the urgent comfort of the gospel.

Drawing from his new book, Life After Life, this episode reframes heaven not as a distant escape but as an everyday orientation that fuels courage, endurance, and wise parenting. They tackle hard questions about eternity, the resurrection, the judgment seat of Christ, and practical ways to shepherd children in a culture that suppresses truth.

Whether you’re grieving, parenting a curious child, or simply wrestling with what comes next, this conversation will steady your heart: the hope is real, heaven informs how we live now, and the promise of a renewed world changes everything.

Life after Life - Purchase Here!: https://ktt.org/books/life-after-life

The word heaven is used more than 500 times and appears in nearly every book of the Bible. Most people believe there is an afterlife, even if they don’t fully know what it is. With three-quarters of Americans saying they believe in heaven, most act out their daily lives as if it didn’t matter. De Courcy says, “The world is not our home; our hearts lie elsewhere.” He encourages us to focus on life after this life, recognizing this is simply a waypoint.”

Episode Recap

(PARENTAL ADVISORY due to intense topics on war, rape, talks of suicide etc)...Listen as Dr. Işık Abla takes you from the battlefield of her childhood to the quiet of a Christian boss’s office where a single moment changed everything. She shares raw memory—violence, abuse, and the distorted identity whispered to her as a girl—and the desperate, dangerous choice she once embraced to make sense of it all.

This episode is a call to wake up and act: a gripping testimony, a warning about ideological infiltration, and a powerful reminder for parents to steward their children well. Tune in for a moving, faith-filled story that will challenge, convict, and inspire you to protect the next generation.

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Işık Abla is a well-known international speaker whose programs are broadcast in multiple languages across six continents, impacting over 700 million people in more than 200 countries, tribes, and people groups. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Dr. Abla was raised in a devout Muslim home. She fled Turkey in the late 1990s to escape a childhood marked by oppression and abuse. After she arrived in America, Abla had an encounter with Jesus that changed her life. As a Muslim-background believer, she carries a rare and sacred calling. She speaks the language, knows the culture, and ministers as one who has been redeemed, anointed, and sent.

Through her new book, Heavenly Whispers, Dr. Abla wants to reach those who, like her, need a real-life encounter with Jesus. “My prayer is that every page will feel like the Spirit meeting you where no sermon or crowd ever could. That each whisper will restore what was broken and ignite flame where only ashes remained." You can find more information about Dr. Işik Abla and Işik Abla Ministries here.
