Description

Pastor Troy Brewer and Ben Brewer, from OpenDoor Church in Dallas, Texas, join Tony to pull back the curtain on a ministry that doesn’t just preach freedom, it hunts it down. From funding and executing rescues to stepping into nations where trafficking networks operate in plain sight, they share stories of walking straight into danger to bring people out. Their travels abroad read like something out of a thriller, filled with sudden spiritual confrontations, close calls, and moments where survival hinged on obedience and prayer. Yet behind the intensity is a relentless conviction that Jesus still sets captives free in real time. This episode is a gripping look at faith in action, where the fight against human trafficking is personal, costly, and anything but theoretical. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

Please pray for those trapped in Mexico. Witchcraft is rampant there. It is here too, but most have yet to realize it. For some reason I seem to attract them like flies. Please pray for me and my family too.

“Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭127‬:‭4‬ I believe the crow brought you that arrow because of the children you help, over 900 with your last name! Enjoyed the podcast, keep going gentlemen.

The story about the ice cream trucks sends chills down my spine. I remember one time when I was young, my sister and my cousin and I were playing outside when the ice cream truck came by and the guy asked if we wanted free candy.. My sister said "let me ask my Mom" and he sped off as soon as my mom opened the door.

I’m 28 minutes into the podcast and the transparency of each person, especially Tony’s feelings of inadequacy during the Counter (which I’d watched like yesterday some of it on JosephZ’s channel, and one of the speakers )Allen (?) said Tony is a prophet and Joseph was smiling at Tony shaking his head yes, you are) is really ministering to me. This is one of the best podcasts, sharing testimonials about the Holy Spirit and radical obedience-so faith building!

Please pray for my nephew(via my sister's previous marriage to his uncle) who lives in Kolkata. He was raised Muslim, but had very favorable experiences with many westerners when he lived in Oregon in his teens. That is when he went blind. My sister guided him through some very dark times and got him into the state school for the blind. 37 years later he is highly successful. An MBA working for an international firm, running marathons, husband and father to an adopted child. He has defied the limitations others put on him. But for all his success, he doesn't know the Lord. PLEASE pray for all 3 of them to have dreams of Jesus. Please pray for their hearts to be softened. It is a hard thing for both Muslims and Jews who reject their previous faith know that it means their families will reject them. And family is everything. Thank you to those who pray for him. ❤🕎🙏🏼✝️❤
