The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.

The Sleeper Cells the Church Can't Ignore | Kelly Hawley

What happens when survivors share experiences that challenge our assumptions about trauma, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm?
In this episode, Karl Gessler sits down with Kelly Hawley of Warrior Bride Ministries to discuss her journey from childhood sexual abuse to healing, freedom, and a calling to help survivors of severe trauma.
Kelly shares how Warrior Bride Ministries ministers to those recovering from ritual abuse, fragmentation, and complex trauma through biblical inner healing, deliverance, prayer ministry, intensives, free classes, and the annual Counting the Cost Conference.
Karl and Kelly also discuss some of the unusual reports they've encountered while ministering to survivors, including claims of alien abductions, sleeper programming, soul transference, and other experiences that often cause churches to dismiss those seeking help. Rather than ignoring these testimonies, they discuss why the Church must become willing to listen, seek biblical discernment, and walk compassionately with survivors toward healing in Christ.
Whether you're involved in deliverance ministry, minister to trauma survivors, or simply want to better understand this often-overlooked area of ministry, this conversation offers thoughtful insight and practical encouragement.
