  • #187 | The Trauma Breakthrough Nobody’s Talking About | Neuroscience, Inner Healing & Deliverance with Krista Elisha
    Apr 15 2026
    What if trauma is affecting more than your emotions — what if it is shaping your brain, your nervous system, your identity, and even how you relate to God? In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, John Gallagher sits down with Christa Elisha to unpack the neuroscience of trauma through a Christian lens, including how trauma impacts the mind, creates strongholds, distorts identity, and keeps people stuck in survival mode. Christa shares her personal testimony of healing from deep trauma, anxiety, PTSD-like symptoms, fractured identity, and learning struggles while explaining how truth, neuroplasticity, scripture meditation, gratitude, worship, inner healing, and deliverance can work together in the restoration process. They also discuss mother wounds, father wounds, the vagus nerve, grief, unforgiveness, Sabbath rest, co-regulation in Christian community, and the healing power of prayer and spoken declarations. If you’ve ever felt trapped in fear, shame, anxiety, emotional pain, or recurring thought patterns, this conversation will give you biblical insight and practical handles for healing.

  • #186 | Earl Terrell on Intercession, the Issachar Anointing, and Hearing God’s Voice
    Apr 13 2026
    In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, I’m joined by Earl Terrell for a powerful conversation on intercession, prayer, spiritual discernment, and the Issachar anointing.

    Earl shares his personal testimony, how he went from a cessationist background to encountering the voice of God, and why believers must respond with prayer in this hour.

    We also talk about praying in tongues, corporate intercession, understanding the times and seasons, and how the Church can walk in wisdom, surrender, and supernatural rest while navigating intense cultural and spiritual pressure.

    If you’ve been wanting to grow in prayer, better understand prophetic intercession, or learn what it means to carry an Issachar-type burden in this generation, this episode will encourage and challenge you.
