What The Prophets Say with Emma Stark

Most Christians celebrate Easter… but don’t fully understand it.
We rush from Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday without stopping to ask a deeper question:
What actually happened on the cross—and what does it mean for me today?
In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Ali McFarlane, Karyn Stuart, and Matt Johnson unpack the reality of the cross, the power of testimony, and why everything in your life should be filtered through what Jesus has already finished.
This is not just theology. This is perspective, authority, and transformation.

What do you do when God does not give you the full plan?
In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Matt Johnson is joined by Jonah Wilson and Karyn Stuart for a real conversation about trusting the Lord, knowing Him deeply, and staying close to Jesus in hard seasons.
This episode explores what it means to keep going when life feels unclear, when your voice is under attack, and when God only gives you the next step instead of the full map. Drawing from Hebrews 12, the conversation looks at endurance, intimacy, obedience, and the kind of trust that grows through real life experience.
The team also talks honestly about:
what it means to keep showing up
how God forms endurance in us
the battle for your voice
why intimacy with Jesus matters more than certainty
how to follow God when all you have is a “whiff” of direction
If you are in a season where you are tired, unsure, or asking God what comes next, this episode will strengthen you.

Episode Summary
Louise Reid shares a life message that many believers need right now: carry the presence of God so people get a revelation of Jesus just by being near you. She explains that connection with God often begins with a simple shift, becoming aware that Jesus is already with you. From there, she encourages believers to remember moments where they felt close to God and to “chew” on those memories, because remembrance can reawaken hunger, faith, and expectation.
Ali McFarlane adds that Louise is “shiny,” meaning her life clearly shows time spent with Jesus. They also talk about how encounter ministry can help people experience Jesus personally. Louise describes Emmanuel-style prayer as “midwifing” an encounter where Jesus does the work, and the person walks away saying, “Jesus is amazing,” not “That counselor is amazing.”
A key thread in this conversation is joy. Louise highlights the kindness of God and the humor of God, reminding listeners that the gospel is good news. They also talk about how laughter helps people connect, and how a joyful atmosphere can make hard conversations safer and more fruitful. The episode closes with a simple invitation: stop striving, start noticing, and learn to enjoy God, because we were made for relationship with Him.
Quotes from the Episode:
“Becoming aware of His presence changes everything.”
“Remember a time you felt close to Jesus, then talk to Him about it again.”
“The gospel is good news. Why are we so miserable?”
“I love helping people encounter Jesus, then they leave saying, ‘Jesus is amazing.’”
