📝 28 million Bibles. Hundreds of millions of animated streams. Partnerships with Sony, HarperCollins, Time-Life, and Warner Brothers. But today Don Wise — creator of The Beginner's Bible, the #1 bestselling children's story Bible in the world — isn't talking about the brand. He's talking about the moments with God that nobody saw coming.

Rick Osborne and Don Wise met at NRB and immediately recognized each other as brothers on the same mission. Today Rick puts Don in the interview chair — and what comes out is two of the most unexpected, beautiful, and deeply human prayer stories you'll hear all year.

Story 1 — Go Encourage People Today

One morning Don heard a simple directive from God: go encourage people today. No agenda. No plan. Just a still small voice and a willing wife named Chris. What followed was a day that took them to a greeting card warehouse, a 200-year-old mansion where a groundskeeper had just told God "if you want me to serve junior high kids, send someone to me right now" — and ultimately to a rest home where Don's friend Ben was dying, eyes rolled back, barely breathing, being neglected by staff who had grown too accustomed to death to recognize it. Don demanded they call 911. The ambulance came. Ben survived. And for the next two and a half years he never missed a single grandchild's game, recital, or performance. One whispered directive from God changed a whole family's story.

Story 2 — The Night at the Church Doors

At 19 years old, Don walked away from a band house full of darkness with nothing — no car, no clothes, no plan. Just a decision: I have to go find out if God is real. He walked to a Church of Christ in Miami at 2 AM and knocked on 14-foot doors. Nobody answered. But sitting in the parking lot he received a vision of what the church could look like — families in every parking space, ordinary people ministering to one another in simple, powerful ways. He walked around to a tiny building out back, saw a light on, knocked — and found a nurse ministering to a young man named Paul at two in the morning. They took him in, fed him, gave him a place. Two weeks later a scholarship arrived. "Faith," Don says, "is just taking one step in the direction of God. That's all it is."

Don closes with a prayer for every listener that they would hear their own assignment — at whatever age, in whatever season — and take that one step.

What does it really mean when we pray, “For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever”?

In this episode, Rick unpacks the powerful final line of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:13) and reveals why this is not just a closing statement—but a declaration of victory, authority, and identity in Christ.

Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” If that’s true, then the enemy has none. So what does that mean for how we pray?

You’ll discover:

1. Why the kingdom has already been reclaimed by Jesus
2. What it means to be delivered from the domain of darkness
3. How believers are seated with Christ in heavenly places
4. Why we pray from a position of authority—not helplessness
5. What “Christ in you, the hope of glory” really means

Drawing from Colossians, Ephesians, Acts, Romans, and John, this teaching shows how the Lord’s Prayer ends with a triumphant reminder: we pray from within Christ’s finished victory—empowered by His Spirit and called to demonstrate His glory.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by circumstances or powerless in prayer, this episode will remind you that you are not under authority—you are seated in Christ’s authority.

📝 For the first time in TranzformU history, Rick Osborne turns the tables — and puts his own team member in the interview chair.

Wally Kassebaum is the man behind the scenes who, as Rick puts it, "works hard to make almost invisible things work well." A degreed accountant from Southern Illinois University, former CEO, COO, and President across manufacturing, engineering, and technology — Wally founded Seven Mountains Consulting Group, turned around companies headed for collapse, consulted at the United Nations, and spoke on national radio. Then God dropped a single word into his spirit: idol. And nothing was ever the same.

In this remarkable conversation, Wally shares:

• 🙏 His intimate moment with God — the morning of the book launch, when God interrupted his prayer routine, filled him with joy, and told him simply to thank Him rather than pray for success. A quiet, unexpected affirmation that moved Wally deeply.
• 📖 The revelation that started with one word — how a single TranzformU lesson on idols triggered a download that grew into a full book. Wally had been seeking God for years about why people pray and don't see results — and God answered through neuroscience, Scripture, and his own life experience.
• 🧠 The premise of "Reality" Is Not the Truth — that an idol in the New Testament isn't a statue you bow to. It's anything you're raising higher than what God says is true. Accepting the way things appear — a diagnosis, a financial crisis, a broken relationship — above the Word of God is a subtle form of idolatry. And the brain's neuroplasticity means you can actually rewire those pathways through the renewing of your mind.
• 🌍 A prophetic word about the book — God told Wally years ago that he would be a conduit to nations. That morning, God confirmed the book would carry that same assignment globally. Wally's response? "He said 'just watch.' I said, 'okay, I'll watch.'"
• 🏔️ Faith moves boundaries — using Caleb and Joshua as the example, Wally explains why God is calling every believer to come to Him first — not as a last resort when everything else fails.

Rick and Wally also reflect on Wally's journey as TranzformU's very first unofficial student — and how years of listening, recording, and serving behind the scenes quietly transformed the man who was making everything else work.

"Reality" Is Not the Truth is available now in paperback and ebook on Amazon, and includes an eight-week small group study guide.

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”?

In this episode of the Lord’s Prayer series, Rick unpacks Matthew 6:13 and reveals a powerful New Covenant truth: Jesus was not teaching us to fear temptation — He was announcing freedom from it.

Does God lead people into temptation? Scripture says no. So what was Jesus revealing?

You’ll discover:

1. The difference between being condemned in Adam and justified in Christ
2. What it means to be made righteous — not just forgiven
3. How Jesus broke the yoke, rod, and oppression of the enemy
4. Why the evil one cannot touch those born of God
5. How to pray from victory instead of struggle

Drawing from Romans, Ephesians, Isaiah, 1 John, and the words of Jesus, this teaching shows that the cross did more than forgive sin — it broke the enemy’s authority and restored us to righteousness.

If you’ve struggled with temptation, shame, addiction, or feeling spiritually oppressed, this episode will challenge how you see yourself in Christ — and how you pray.

Jesus didn’t come to manage sin.

He came to break its power.

📝 What happens when the teacher becomes the guest?

In this extraordinary episode of Supernatural Prayer Stories, Wally turns the tables on Rick Osborne — sitting him in the interview chair for the very first time and asking him to share what God did during the decade-long season of seclusion that most people have never heard about.

Rick Osborne is a Christian author, minister, and Bible teacher with over 30 years of ministry. His TranzformU online Bible school has helped thousands of believers worldwide walk in their identity, hear God's voice, and grow in daily relationship with the Father. But the chapter that shaped all of it happened far from the platform — in a hidden decade of prayer, deep study, and intimate encounter with God.

In this episode:

• The hidden decade — what really happened when God pulled Rick away from ministry, career, and public life

• Never-before-shared visions and dreams from those years of deep communion

• Personal encounters with Jesus — raw, unfiltered, and life-changing

• The story behind "Weepy Boy" — and yes, the Kleenex box situation is addressed

• What God builds in a person during years that no one else sees

• How the secret place became the foundation for everything Rick now teaches

This is one of those conversations that reminds you that the most important things God does in a life often happen in the quiet, the hidden, and the unseen.

What did Jesus mean when He taught us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”?

This episode reveals a powerful truth often overlooked: Jesus taught us to pray from a place of forgiveness already completed, not something earned, repeated, or withheld.

In Episode #5 of the series “7 Life-Changing Revelations Hidden in the Lord’s Prayer,” we explore how forgiveness operates under the New Covenant — not as a legal transaction, but as a family reality grounded in the finished work of Christ.

Scripture shows that every sin — past, present, and future — was dealt with once and for all at the cross. What remains is not judgment, but relationship. Forgiveness is no longer judicial; it is relational, restorative, and freeing.

1. Why the Greek tense of “have forgiven” matters
2. How Christ permanently removed sin’s debt
3. The difference between judicial and practical forgiveness
4. Why confession restores freedom, not forgiveness
5. How believers are entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation
6. Why forgiveness is the key to healing and freedom

Living this way transforms how we pray, how we relate to others, and how we walk in grace.

1. Matthew 6:12
2. Hebrews 7:27
3. 1 John 1:9
4. 2 Corinthians 5:14–19
5. Luke 6:37–40
6. Psalms 103:2–13
7. Isaiah 9:5–6
8. Zephaniah 3:15

What does it take to shake someone out of 17 years in the occult? For Athelia Vike, it wasn't a sermon or a tract — it was coming face to face with pure demonic evil in the spirit realm and realizing that if one side of the coin was real, so was the other.

In this episode of Supernatural Prayer Stories, Athelia shares:

• The astral encounter in the abyss that shattered her occult worldview overnight

• Why she believed Leviticus condemned her beyond redemption — and what she decided to do about it anyway

• Her first experience of the Father's love at a Mother's Day church service, standing completely alone

• A dream of marrying Jesus — and what God revealed about her "old man"

• The gift of discerning of spirits operating in her daily life, including a shoulder healing at a potluck

• How TranzformU took her from feeling like an unworthy servant to knowing she is a beloved daughter

Athelia's story is a stunning testament to the truth that God's pursuit doesn't wait for us to be ready — and that prayer is more powerful than any spell ever could be.

What did Jesus really mean when He taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread”?

This familiar line from the Lord’s Prayer is often understood as a request for daily provision. But when we examine Jesus’ own teaching, Scripture reveals something far deeper—and far more powerful.

In this episode, we continue the series “7 Life-Changing Revelations Hidden in the Lord’s Prayer” by uncovering how daily bread points not to survival living, but to the Life of Christ Himself under the New Covenant.

Jesus consistently redirected His listeners away from anxiety about food, clothing, and daily needs—and toward trusting the Father and seeking the Kingdom first. From the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, to the Last Supper, to Isaiah’s promise of rich food and an everlasting covenant, Scripture shows us that the true provision is Christ given to us.

1. Why Jesus warned His disciples about misunderstanding “bread”
2. The rare Greek word translated “daily” and what it actually implies
3. How the Bread of Life fulfills every promise of God
4. Why New Covenant prayer flows from abundance, not lack
5. How believers are called to live from provision already secured in Christ
6. What it means to seek first the Kingdom without fear or anxiety

This teaching invites us to stop praying from survival and start living from the finished work of Christ—trusting that our needs are already known and fully supplied in Him.

1. Matthew 6:11, 31–33
2. Matthew 16:6–11
3. John 6:26–27
4. Luke 22:19
5. Isaiah 55:2–3
6. Genesis 1:27–28
7. Genesis 3:17–19
8. 2 Peter 1:3
9. 2 Corinthians 1:20
