In this episode of Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with Pastor Jesse Bradley to talk about his remarkable journey from atheism to faith, professional soccer to ministry, and loss to unexpected purpose. Jesse was pursuing his dream as a professional goalkeeper when a medication intended to protect him became toxic to his body and abruptly ended his playing career. With soccer gone and so much of his identity stripped away, Jesse was forced to confront a deeper question: Who are you when what you do is taken away? Jesse shares how God met him in that season, what he learned about performance-based identity, and how surrender ultimately led him into a calling he never expected. Elijah and Jesse also discuss: • Finding your identity beyond your accomplishments • Moving from atheism to faith in Jesus • The difference between the gifts and fruit of the Spirit • Bringing together the Word and the Holy Spirit • Reaching the next generation with an authentic faith • How God can use unexpected setbacks for a greater purpose If you've ever experienced a setback, lost something you thought defined you, or wondered what God could possibly do with a dream that seems to have died, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with SJ Newell, creator of "The Objective Believer," for an honest and nuanced conversation about Kenneth E. Hagin, the Word of Faith movement, speaking in tongues, healing, prosperity, and the controversies surrounding these subjects today. Having personally heard Brother Hagin minister during the final years of his life—and after spending years studying the Word of Faith movement—SJ offers a perspective that goes beyond the caricatures. What did Kenneth Hagin actually teach? What have his critics misunderstood? Where did some within the movement go to extremes? And how did Hagin himself respond when he saw abuses developing around teachings he had helped popularize? This isn't about pretending that every excess was justified. And it isn't about dismissing an entire movement because of its extremes. It's about going back to the question Kenneth Hagin himself continually emphasized: What does the Word actually say? Whether you grew up in the Word of Faith movement, have serious questions about it, or have only heard about Kenneth Hagin through his critics, this conversation may challenge what you think you know about his legacy.

n this thought-provoking episode of Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with author, attorney, and pastor Joe Infranco to discuss the astonishing stories behind his book, Decoding Cody. What began as a journey into the world of non-speaking autism soon became something much bigger. As individuals with non-speaking autism gained the ability to communicate through spelling, many began sharing extraordinary accounts. They spoke of angels. They described spiritual warfare.

Most remarkably, many described the same mysterious place—a place they call "The Hill"—despite having no contact with one another. Could these accounts reveal something about the unseen realm? How should Christians evaluate experiences like these through the lens of Scripture? And what can these individuals teach us about faith, prayer, spiritual warfare, and the love of God? In this conversation, you'll discover: ✅ Why many non-speaking autistic individuals say, "I'm in here." ✅ The surprising intelligence hidden behind the inability to speak. ✅ Reports of angels, demons, and spiritual warfare. ✅ The mystery of "The Hill." ✅ Why many describe the same place despite never meeting. ✅ What they say about Jesus. ✅ The connection between prayer and the unseen realm. ✅ How this journey transformed Joe's understanding of God's love and human value.

What if the door you’ve been praying for doesn’t open because you pushed it… but because you worshiped? In this episode of the Greater Than Podcast, Elijah sits down with Pastors Stephen and Candy LaFlora to share how God opened doors they never tried to force. They didn’t audition.

From Rhema Bible Training Center to Healing School… From serving Keith Moore and Kenneth Copeland to pastoring their own church… This conversation explores divine order, being led by the Holy Spirit, and why faithfulness in small moments matters more than platform.
