Filmmaker Matt Thayer joins Stephen Strang on The Strang Report to discuss his new documentary, “Can You Hear Me Now”, releasing September 10, 2026—on the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

In this powerful conversation, Matt shares:

Why he made a film about the prophetic and how God speaks today
Never-before-heard insights from his final interview with Charlie Kirk, recorded just two weeks before Charlie’s death
How Charlie viewed prophecy, the gifts of the Spirit, and the separation of church and state
The controversy around prophetic words about the 2020 election and Donald Trump
Why Matt believes we’re in the middle of a national revival and reawakening
How the church has often mishandled conversations about prophecy—and what healthy, biblical balance can look like
You’ll also hear Stephen reflect on:

His own journey covering the charismatic and Pentecostal movement for five decades
The prophetic words about Donald Trump and his book God and Donald Trump
How this documentary challenged his assumptions about certain prophetic leaders
At the end of the episode, we play the first 5 minutes of “Can You Hear Me Now”, so you can experience the tone and message of the film for yourself.
