What happens when God shows up—literally—and you’ve got no choice but to respond?

In this episode of Let’s Talk About It, Pastor E opens up about a supernatural encounter that changed everything. But this isn’t just about what happened to him—it’s about what happens when we share the encounters God gives us.

Joined by filmmaker and creative visionary Rod Pickens, the two dive into the journey of turning Pastor E’s experience into a full-scale cinematic testimony. It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and it’s a reminder: your story isn’t just for you.

They talk about the weight of obedience, the fear that tries to hold us back, and how faith becomes real when it’s put into action. From spiritual visions to video production, acting challenges to AI, this episode explores why sharing what God has done in your life can be the very thing that changes someone else’s.

There’s power in your encounter. There’s purpose in your voice. And when you speak up—when you really share what you’ve seen—someone else might find the courage to believe again.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I tell my story?”—this is your answer. Tell it. Because someone’s breakthrough is waiting on your obedience.
