Hosted by Jessica Laine MacDonald, Initiated By God is a faith-forward interview series for people who've heard God call them to something — and are trying to find the courage to say yes. After a life-altering accident and a miraculous recovery, Jessica surrendered her platform to God and stepped into a new season of obedience. This show is what came out of it.
Each episode, Jessica sits down with pastors, leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday believers for raw, unfiltered conversations about calling, spiritual warfare, healing, transition, and what it actually costs to obey God when nobody around you understands. No veneer of perfection. No church-flyer answers. Just real testimony from people who've been broken, rebuilt, and sent. If you're stepping into a new assignment, running from one, or sitting in a season you didn't choose — this show was initiated by God for you.

]]> episodic no Hardly Initiated Network michael@digitalmogul.com false full False Prophets, God's Voice & The Spirit Realm | Bishop Demetrius Senegal Ep.2 False Prophets, God's Voice & The Spirit Realm | Bishop Demetrius Senegal Ep.2 Hardly Initiated Network A prophet walked into a small church in Waxhaw, North Carolina, pointed at a woman, and exposed an affair in front of the whole congregation — down to the hotel key sitting in a man's wallet.


He was right. And he now says he was wrong.


In this episode of Initiated By God, Jessica Laine McDonald sits down with Bishop Demetrius Senegal — the "master prophet" training nearly 7,000 prophets across 43 countries — for one of the most unfiltered conversations you'll ever hear about the prophetic.


He breaks down the difference between false prophets, true prophets, and people who are simply not prophets, why the "10 millionaires by Friday" prophecy machine needs to be held accountable, and what really opens the door when believers dabble in tarot cards, psychics, and horoscopes.


He also goes where most prophets won't: the time his gift outran his maturity, the prophecy a political leader ignored right before losing everything, why he asks God to show him nothing about the women he dates, and how to finally tell the difference between God's voice and your own.


If you've ever been hurt by a prophetic word, manipulated in God's name, or just want to know who's really hearing from Heaven — this conversation is for you.

Last year, Jessica Laine McDonald's head shattered a windshield. She lost her memory. She doesn't remember any of it — but her journal does. One entry reads: "Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell prayed for you." What she didn't know until recently: he stopped his entire staff meeting, shut down every room in the building, and formed a prayer circle around her on FaceTime. The next day, her recovery began.


That's why he's sitting across from her for the very first conversation of this new assignment.

In this episode, Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell opens up like few have heard him before — the night he sat with a shotgun and a bottle of Hennessy before God met him in a bathroom, the four years he ran from his calling, the five-year battle with depression he's never preached about, and the week half the country tried to cancel him.


He breaks down what really happens the moment you say yes to God, how to tell His voice from your own and the enemy's, why rest is holy, and the one question that determines whether your trauma becomes your identity or your testimony: Do you want to be healed?


If you're stepping into a new assignment, running from one, or sitting in a prison cell with the door wide open — this conversation was initiated by God for you.
