When you start seeing everything… what do you do with it?

The Afterglow is a reflective podcast from the Echoes of Truth Network, created as a place to sit with the weight of truth after it’s been spoken. Each week, JTfollowsJC and TuneThyHeart talk through heavy conversations raised on JT’s Mixtape, and The Afterglow exists for the quiet moments that follow.

In Episode 2, we talk about what happens when spiritual discernment begins to sharpen, when you start noticing influence, patterns, and spiritual realities everywhere and how to carry that awareness without becoming anxious, prideful, or pushing people away.

This episode is not driven by fear, outrage, or exposure culture.
It is about wisdom, restraint, love, and heart posture.

We discuss:

• What it feels like when you begin “waking up” spiritually

• Why truth can be mishandled and turn people away

• How influence and darkness are woven throughout culture

• How to guard your heart without living in fear

• Why timing and love matter just as much as truth

• Christmas, judgment, and why pleasing God matters more than pleasing people

As referenced in previous conversations on JT’s Mixtape, including cultural moments like the Zac Brown Band at the Sphere, this episode emphasizes that discernment does not mean paranoia, it means staying anchored in Christ.

“You must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”
— Matthew 10:16 (NLT)

“People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
— 1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT)

This conversation is not about accusation or condemnation.
Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, and that love, prayer, and discernment matter more than outrage.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood…”
— Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)

This is The Afterglow.

🎧 Episode 1 — What Remains After Truth Is Heard

When the conversation ends… what remains?

The Afterglow is a reflective podcast from the Echoes of Truth Network, created as a space to sit with the weight of truth after it’s been spoken. Hosted by JTfollowsJC and TuneThyHeart, this podcast exists for those moments when heavy conversations leave us wondering how to process what we’ve heard — and how to refocus our hearts on Jesus.

In Episode 1, we reflect on themes explored in recent weeks, including discernment, influence, deception, accountability, and spiritual responsibility. This conversation is not driven by outrage or spectacle, but by a desire to pause, examine, and seek wisdom rooted in Scripture.

We discuss the responsibility that comes with influence, the difference between exposure and edification, and why what happens after truth is revealed matters just as much as the revelation itself.

“Test everything; hold fast to what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21
