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 open the conversation about how culture often labels men as the problem within our society, and how we can challenge that narrative by exploring a different perspective—God’s perspective. We discuss how, rather than seeing men as the problem, God has a purpose and a plan that invites them to be part of His solution. Join us for an honest conversation about identity, responsibility, and the hope for restoration in today’s world. Tune in to discover how men can step into their God-given role and make a lasting, positive impact!

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.

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 a question that sparks much debate: Should Christians engage in politics, run for office, or serve in governmental roles, or should they focus solely on their own spheres of influence? What does it truly mean to be political or involved in government as a follower of Christ? Join us as we explore these questions and unpack their implications for believers today.

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 what it truly means to be a son of God and uncover practical ways to overcome the barriers that hold so many from walking in the fullness of this truth. Many Christians silently wrestle with a deep and often unseen struggle—the battle to fully grasp and live in the reality of their Sonship in Christ. Why is it that so many born-again believers, followers of Jesus, find it challenging to embrace their identity as sons of God?
