This week on Happy Hour with Dr. T, I’m joined by Anna Vaughan, founder of Stirred Up Ministries. Alongside her husband Luke, Anna shares the gospel through conferences, churches, and her Wanted at the Table podcast. She carries a prophetic gift and a passion for seeing communities experience God without limits—breaking free from the boxes religion often builds.
Anna has authored four books that guide readers into a deeper understanding of the Trinity, while also addressing spiritual abuse and the journey toward freedom. Her ministry reflects the heart of the Acts Church—empowered, Spirit-led, and rooted in truth.
In our conversation, Anna shares her personal story of walking through spiritual abuse, the difference between spiritual authority and control, and how forgiveness becomes a pathway to freedom. We also dive into:
The telltale signs of spiritual abuse—and how to recognize them.
How to discern between spiritual challenges and unhealthy control.
What true forgiveness looks like without ignoring justice.
Why Anna believes every believer is “wanted at the table.”
This is an inspiring, hope-filled conversation that reminds us God is bigger than any box we place Him in—and that His grace is still setting people free today.

However, amid the rebellion and ruckus, Jamie continually endeavored to one day earn the title, “U.S. Marine”. After being nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence, and Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., where he subsequently secured a nomination to the US Naval Academy, Jamie made the determination to simply enlist in the Marine Corps Infantry and achieve his childhood dream.
After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith.
After again returning to Iraq in 2014 to serve the Christians suffering under the savage campaign of ISIS, Jamie and his wife Virginia were compelled to surrender their paradigm and follow the Lord into full-time ministry.
“The Mission of Omega Dynamics is this: to teach, train and equip “Those with ears to hear” to stand anew in their rightful place as more than conquerors in a kingdom that cannot be shaken…this generation is literally, eternally dying for us to”
