Wake Up and Win Podcast
Hosted by Blaise and Christina Forêt, The Wake Up and Win Podcast is a space where faith meets fearless truth-telling.We tackle the hard conversations the Church often avoids—spiritual abuse, toxic leadership, cover-ups, and the misuse of prophetic authority. Through interviews with survivors, whistleblowers, and reformers, we expose darkness, advocate for the wounded, and call the Church back to the heart of Jesus.
Whether you're deconstructing, rebuilding, or just seeking clarity, this podcast offers unfiltered honesty, theological depth, and a whole lot of hope.
Subscribe and join the growing movement of believers who want Jesus more than celebrity, justice more than comfort, and truth over image.
