December 2, 2024 • Tina Griffin

Sometimes the unexpected challenges in life can give rise to new opportunities. Annie Yorty is a wife, mother, author, speaker, and podcaster who has lived such a reality for decades. When Annie was just 25 years old, she discovered that her newborn daughter had been diagnosed with Down Syndrome. God gave her peace about this whole situation, and it brought Annie closer to the Lord as a result.

Annie talks about the challenges she has faced in life and how she has managed to point others to Jesus through it all.

December 3, 2024 • Tina Griffin

Kate Battistelli was a burgeoning Broadway star playing opposite the great Yul Brynner in The King and I - thinking she was on a trajectory to win a coveted Tony award. God had other plans!

Ep. 720 - Attention Grabbing T-Shirt Exposes Alien Deception Regarding Rapture - Lee Martin

November 28, 2024 • Tina Griffin

Lee Martin awoke after a three-week coma and an inexplicable brush with death with an uphill road to recovery and mission from God: warn the world about the upcoming rapture! Lee is a creative consultant with a long background working in health, fitness, acting, and producing - but her world came to a halt when she was suddenly rushed to the hospital battling organ failure. She shares her miraculous survival story and how she was inspired to create a T-shirt that would promote and warn the world about the upcoming rapture of the church when Jesus returns. She believes the disappearance of Christ-followers will be explained away by an alien abduction. Her shirt is an eye-opening, catchy, conversation starting creation. Lee explains where the idea came from, what she hopes it achieves, and why it’s so important for Christians to tell the world what’s on the horizon. TAKEAWAYS Doctors wanted to unplug Lee while she was in a coma, but by a healing miracle from Jesus, her organs started to work again The Holy Spirit gave Lee a design and the task of producing this Rapture T-shirt with a providential message Things are rapidly converging, and Bible prophecy is undeniably being fulfilled before this generation’s eyes - the Rapture is coming soon Lee believes that mainstream media pushing the narrative of “aliens amongst us” is part of the demonic set-up to explain away the rapture 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Hollywood Exposed Download: https://counterculturemom.com/store/ Rapture T-shirt: https://bit.ly/3osgnkb 🔗 CONNECT WITH SEALED IN CHRIST Website: https://sealedinchrist.com/tinagriffin 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/ Restore Patch: https://bit.ly/ccmpatch RogersHood Apothecary (get 10% off with code TINA): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tinahttp://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner
