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.

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 concept of spiritual weapons within the body of Christ. Are these divine tools meant to be wielded actively in our everyday lives, or should they remain reserved for times of intense spiritual warfare? Join us as we dive into Scripture, unpack the purpose and power behind these weapons, and wrestle with the responsibility of using them in a world that desperately needs the light of Christ. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on whether the church is truly equipped and ready for the spiritual battles ahead.

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 take the time to examine what it means to see evidence of a true Christian. How does it manifest? How can we discern if it is genuine? Many profess to be Christians, yet looking at their lives beyond Sunday services may prompt us to question what being a Christian entails. True faith is more than just words. Our lives bear fruit that aligns with the teachings of what we genuinely believe, revealing a consistent walk rather than just a routine.
