What if ministry isn’t a role you step into but a way you live? On Talks with Gallagher, Doreen Morehouse shares how a 2016 ministry trip to Brazil changed her understanding of prayer, healing, and what she calls “Kingdom living.” She recounts experiences that shaped her faith—and explains why the opportunities to love and serve people often appear in ordinary places: at the grocery store, on an airplane, or even at her front door. Doreen and John discuss making space in a busy schedule, overcoming the fear of reaching out, and letting ministry flow from a relationship with God rather than from a title or a list of tasks. Doreen also shares encouragement for parents who want to model faith at home and help their children grow in it. Doreen is an instructor at Global Awakening’s College of Ministry and a certified master equipper through its Christian Healing Certification Program. If you’ve wondered how to live out your Christian faith beyond Sunday, this conversation offers stories and practical encouragement for the everyday moments in front of you.  Chapters 00:00 An unexpected divine appointment 01:00 Meet Doreen Morehouse 02:17 How Brazil changed her view of ministry 04:32 Finding opportunities for prayer in everyday life 09:55 An unplanned trip to Argentina 12:43 Slowing down and making space for people 16:11 Practicing everyday generosity 17:22 The grocery delivery story 19:28 Faith, risk, and fear of rejection 23:41 How Doreen joined the Brazil trip 25:16 Doreen’s account of healing in Brazil 30:18 Equipping others to pray 35:21 Encouragement for parents and children 39:26 What she would tell her younger self 43:27 Closing prayer Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/talks-with-gallagher--6106098/support.

At 54, after nearly a decade inside one organization, Andrew Brümmer's career fell apart overnight — with no degree, no safety net, and only 10 people he knew in Atlanta. What followed became the most purposeful period of his professional life. Known as "The Business Polygraph," Andrew joins Talks with Gallagher to talk about rebuilding a personal brand from zero, why he treats AI as a governance system rather than just a tool, and a story that will change how you think about AI: an AI model once told him directly, "I am programmed to tell you what I think you want to hear." We also dig into the recent Hugging Face / OpenAI agentic misalignment report, why Andrew compares today's AI fear to Y2K panic, and how his company My Story Told is using AI and human editorial structure to turn ordinary people's lived experience into permanent books before their stories are lost. In this episode: - The real story behind Andrew's 2024 career collapse and rebuild - Why he's called "The Business Polygraph" and what that actually means in practice - His unfiltered reaction to the AI whistleblower reports making headlines - How to use AI as a thinking partner without losing your own judgment - The mission behind My Story Told and why everyone "has earned the right to be heard" - His guiding principle: "Plant seeds that will grow trees you will never sit under" Andrew Brümmer is COO of Industry Technologies, co-founder of VeritEye, founder of My Story Told, and the author of "You Decide" and "Leading Magnanimously." He mentors founders through TiE Atlanta and Access Foundations and coaches executives through The Ardunan Village.

Is the conflict in the Middle East purely political, or are we witnessing the continuation of an ancient, unseen cosmic rebellion? In this special Rosh Hashanah episode of Talks with Gallagher, host Gallagher sits down with veteran researcher, SkyWatchTV analyst, and author Derek P. Gilbert to unpack his latest release: War of the Watchers: Book One—From Baal to Balfour. Derek introduces the concept of the geopolitics—the unseen principalities pulling the strings behind modern geopolitics—and traces the cosmic war from the pre-human rebellion of Leviathan and Yam, to the pact made by 200 Watchers on Mount Hermon, all the way to Jesus Christ strategically taking the fight directly to enemy territory at Caesarea Philippi.

What do you do when God shifts your season? Prophet Tameisha Campbell joins John Gallagher on Talks with Gallagher to teach how to make a prophetic pivot, hear God’s voice, and respond in faith when the transition looks messy.
