Prepare the Way Podcast With Nate & Christy

Have You Been In The Sick Bed Of Deception? Have you been through a season where you were led astray and deceived by a wolf in sheep's clothing? God is healing so many right now who've been through Jezebel systems, false words, and false counsel, finding themselves on the other side broken, confused, and soul sick. In this episode, Nate shares the story of Ahithophel, David's most trusted counselor, whose wisdom was safe in one season and turned to poison in the next and how betrayal from those closest to us can put us on a sick bed we never seem to leave. Walking through Psalm 55 and the man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5, Nate ministers directly to anyone stuck in the aftermath of deception, false words, or betrayal. If you've been carrying guilt, shame, or condemnation over decisions made while being led astray, this pastoral ministry rich episode is God's invitation to get up, take up your bed, and walk.

Are you feeling confused in a social media age that's so noisy? Every day there's a new headline, a new influencer, a new "word" and you don't know who to believe anymore.
In this episode of Prepare the Way, Nate and Christy Johnston tackle the difference between the true word of the Lord and what is straight up demonic. Wolves in sheep's clothing are real, and many of us have been deceived by voices that sounded loving and even accurate but came from the wrong spirit. The fruit? Confusion, fog, isolation, dependency, and a calling that suddenly comes under fire.
In this episode we cover:
5 signs you're listening to the wrong voice
Why true prophecy brings clarity, peace, and freedom and false prophecy keeps you stuck
The "middleman" spirit and why God is leading you back to hearing Him for yourself
The story of the false word that cost us 5 years (and how God redeemed it)
What 1 Kings 13, Elijah, and Gideon reveal about disobedience, deception, and the fear of the Lord
How to keep your heart soft, wrap yourself in your mantle, and step out of the cave
This isn't about a critical or suspicious spirit. It's about letting the Holy Spirit train your discernment so you're not led astray in this next season. God is raising up a remnant of pure voices for this hour and you are called to be one of them.

Jesus didn't say wolves in sheep's clothing might come, He said they WILL come. So how do you recognize one before it's too late? I
In this episode, Nate & Christy unpack a prophetic parable and it will completely change the way you see false prophets, false leaders, and counterfeit voices operating in the body of Christ today. They break down:
Why false prophets always want to know your calling and destination * How they use distraction and delay to pull you off your path
The difference between a true prophet and a counterfeit and why fruit matters more than gift
What New Covenant prophecy is actually supposed to look like
The biggest marker of a false prophet most people miss
How bitterness can cause you to become the very thing you're trying to avoid
Why staying in the Word is your greatest protection
This isn't about becoming suspicious of everyone, it’s about becoming so rooted in the authentic that the counterfeit becomes obvious.

The Jezebel spirit doesn't always show up the way we expect. Sometimes it comes through flattery, false covering, spiritual dependency, and subtle control and it can quietly disconnect you from your true calling without you even realizing it. In this episode, Nate gets raw and honest about how manipulation, performance culture, and counterfeit spiritual authority operate in churches, ministries, and relationships and what it actually looks like to break free. You'll learn how to recognize the patterns, reclaim your voice, and Jezebel-proof your calling so you can walk in purity, boldness, and real freedom again. If you've ever felt spiritually silenced, drained, manipulated, or stuck under an invisible ceiling, this one's for you.

Is your home constantly under fire? Tension you can't name, chaos and conflict that is relentless, a heaviness and strife that never fully lifts?
In this episode of the Prepare The Way Podcast, I go after the spiritual root that not only goes after callings and destinies but HATES covenant, family, marriages, and homes on fire for God - the spiritual and relational dysfunction that silences people, attacks identity, and keeps entire families from stepping into what God called them to.
This one's personal, because after decades of battling the Jezebel spirit through real life, family, marriage, and ministry, I pull back the curtain on what that actually looked like, how these patterns show up in your kids, your calling, your home, and how we can begin to break free.
If you've been battling this spirit and lost hope of ever overcoming it, this one is for you. You are not powerless, and your home is not beyond recovery. It's time to take it back. Let me know if you’d like a part 2 of this conversation next…

What if the pressure you're feeling isn't the enemy - it's God pulling you into everything you've been praying for? In this raw conversation with Ross Johnston, we unpack what it means to be a different kind of Christian in this hour. Bold. Surrendered. Willing to step into the unknown. We talk about: -
Why tension in your soul is an invitation, not an attack 
The real cost of a Book of Acts life
Why an anointing you never step into becomes a burden
Living like you have nothing to lose
It's time to stop settling for the kiddy pool when you were made for more than this.

If you feel hidden right now, like you've been forgotten, sidelined, or left behind, this episode is for you.
You might be in a tomb season. And it might be exactly where God wants you. In this episode, Nate unpacks the story of Lazarus and the detail most people miss, Jesus didn't show up in three days. He waited four. Beyond the point of hope. Beyond human intervention. And that's exactly when He moved. This is a raw, Spirit-led word for anyone who feels like they're in that place right now and how it prophetically speaks to a Church that is being stripped, rebuilt, and prepared for something it's never seen before.
This episode will hit different if you're in a season of:
Grief, loss, or unanswered prayer.
Feeling spiritually numb or disconnected
Wondering if God has forgotten you
Sensing a transition but not seeing it yet
The four days aren't the end. They're the beginning.

If you’ve been feeling powerless, defeated, or like the weight of what’s happening in the world has stolen your peace, this episode is for you. In today’s Prepare the Way Podcast, I go straight after the lie of powerlessness and talk about how the enemy uses it to disarm the Church, keeping believers either angry and reactive or numb and passive. This is a “diagnostic” moment, a season of transition that reveals what we really believe about God, about ourselves, and about the authority Jesus actually gave us. I unpack why authority isn’t something you hype up, it’s covenantal, rooted in relationship with Jesus, identity in Christ, and alignment with the Holy Spirit.
If you’ve lost your fight, your fire, or your clarity, don’t click off. It’s time to pick up your keys.
