'I'm stuck.'
Words we hear far too often from seasoned women and men in the Lord. As believers, we cling to the biblical promise of freedom and restoration through Jesus. We read this promises, yet life can feel so not free.
Enter *strongholds.* Don't let this spiritual term throw you! On this episode we're breaking down the practical layers of what strongholds can look like in our lives (cue, "I'm stuck!" language) and the 4 key areas you may be spiritually stuck without even knowing it.
Our guests, Glenn and Jan Manke, are back! This couple on fire for the Lord are training the next generation of deliverance/freedom leaders in the Cleveland, Ohio area. And now they are here to train you in inner healing 101! Get ready for stories that will move you, scriptures that will mark you, and teaching that will walk you into a whole new chapter of freedom in the Lord.

Meet our Guests: Glenn and Jan Manke
Jan has been joyfully married to Glenn for 53 years, and together they have built a life rooted in faith, family, and ministry. She is passionate about pursuing Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit—not only in her own walk but also in helping others grow deeper in their relationship with Him.
Jan’s heart shines through her gift of hospitality—whether cooking, hosting dinners, or creating space for prayer and connection. She treasures time spent with family, especially her children and grandchildren, where laughter, fun, and meaningful moments are shared.
With a strong prophetic gift, Jan carries an ability to encourage and uplift others. She loves meeting one-on-one with women to coach, pray, and walk alongside them in their spiritual journey. Deep friendships and authentic spiritual connections are among her greatest joys.
Outside of ministry and family, Jan delights in hiking, biking, and working in her garden—finding God’s beauty in both nature and nurturing. Above all, Jan’s life reflects a love for Jesus, a dedication to people, and a desire to see hearts transformed by the Holy Spirit.
Glenn has been married to his wife, Jan, for 53 years, and together they model a life of faith, love, and perseverance. His passion is to exhort and encourage Christian men and women to raise the bar and become all that God has called them to be in Christ. Beyond ministry, Glenn treasures time with his grandchildren, enjoys hiking and biking in God’s creation, and loves retreating with Jan for spiritual renewal.
Through his words and life, Glenn seeks to inspire — breathing life, courage, and hope into others, while pointing them to their true identity and destiny in Christ.
