Seven years in the desert
Prior to 2025, the last time I appeared publicly was in 2017. I had been active for many years up to that point, then God allowed a major trial in my life that put me in the desert for seven years, when I seemingly dropped off the face of the earth. Nobody knew where I went, not even close friends. I can hardly describe that time, other than to say I have never imagined such hardship to even be possible for a person to survive. From 2017-2024, I was crushed to dust and reduced to ashes. Though I absolutely knew beyond any doubt God was there at every moment, he was entirely silent that whole time (!) and though I cried out to him every day in despair, he spoke to me on only one single occasion, about halfway through the trial. I was in the shower begging him for help, and in my spirit, he clearly said to me: Hold on and persevere. When this ends, I have something for you. That's literally the only thing I heard from him the entire time. Nothing more. During those seven years, I lost everything I had worked my whole life to build. I lost my professional standing, my radio show, my marriage, my career, the respect I had worked so hard to build, and one by one nearly every friend I had abandoned me. My only supporter through this was my mom, who had been my best friend and biggest cheerleader, but in 2019 I lost her too. As she wasted away from cancer, I held her and prayed with her and gave her droppers full of morphine until she could no longer speak, then she was gone too. I am crying writing this. During those seven years, I stopped following the news. I did not use a computer. I completely stopped writing, even on paper. I had no thoughts of ever contributing to the world again Then in September of 2024, that seven-year desert came to an end and I heard from God again. Here's what happened. My church does a month-long fast every September. My last two kids, which I had fought with every breath to keep intact through our trauma, had left for college a few weeks before, and for the first time in 28 years, I had an empty nest. During my fast, I prayed to the Lord to show me what to do with the next chapter of my life. I was considering getting a job at the local community college teaching Spanish, but I was not even sure I could get hired. It was in that place almost a year ago to the day, that I clearly heard the Lord answer me. Here's what he said: “Get your radio show back and proclaim my name to the nations." Just like that. Wow! There was nothing I'd rather do! But I had no idea how. I had lost everything. GCN, the network that had carried my show, had shut down. I had no broadcasting equipment, no remaining connections, I hadn't spoken publicly to anyone in years, and I didn't even own a computer. I thought of driving up to the nearest city and knocking on the door of an office I had driven by with radio call letters outside, but what would I say? Hi, my name is Katherine Albrecht and I was once a nationally syndicated radio host... I haven't done anything in seven years. Can you give me a show? To my astonishment, I didn't wind up having to do that. God did something so much better, something entirely miraculous. Here's the incredible thing he did. Out of the blue, I got a call from a former executive I had actually helped hire years ago at StartMail, the email I had helped build in 2013. I had not spoken to anyone at the company since my circumstances had forced me to quit in 2017. She said she had gotten my number from a mutual friend, and she hoped she wasn't bothering me. Here's the unbelievable thing she said next. "Katherine, I'm sure you're busy with other projects, but we were wondering if you would consider starting your radio show up again and returning as our VP of marketing. (!!!?!) The person we hired when you left just quit for maternity leave, and we were hoping you might come back. Of course we'll pay for everything you need to get your radio show back on the air." I don't have words to describe that moment. I was in complete shock. How did God work that out? It was so specific and so precisely, almost hilariously exact there could be no question but that it came from God's hand. Of course I said yes. But the next question was what to talk about. I had not done radio for seven years, and the RFID topic I was known for was no longer hot. As an advocate and an activist, I had to have a cause, but I was drawing a complete blank. A few days into this, while still fasting on September 16, I was feeling discouraged and took a nap to get a break from the whole thing. I was in bed asleep when my phone rang and my friend Carey, the office manager at my church said, "Katherine, I know it's last minute, but can you be at a town hall meeting in 45 minutes? There's an urgent situation and we need everyone from the church to turn out." I got dressed and drove over to our tiny town hall. Apparently our town planning commission had been about to approve a massive, half-billion dollar building project for something called a data center on the rural lot directly adjacent to our church, which is right next door to an elementary school. The place was packed. None of us had any idea what a data center was, but I hurriedly looked it up on my phone and saw that whatever it was, it was hugely controversial and people around the country were fighting to keep them from being built in their communities. One by one people went up to the microphone to speak. Just as the public comment period was about to close, I raised my hand, stood up, and walked to the podium. Bear in mind I hadn't spoken publicly to anyone about anything for more than seven years. But there had been a time when I wrote legislation and traveled the country to meet with lawmakers, addressed the European Commission, testified before the FTC, delivered keynote addresses, and spoke to crowds of thousands of people. As I stood at that podium and addressed the trustees of this tiny, rural Midwestern town where I somehow wound up in 2020, I felt a huge wave of familiarity crash over me and everything became clear. This is what I was born to do. That is how the Lord showed me the work he had prepared in advance for me to do -- and how he brought me stunningly out of the desert to do it. After that meeting, I immersed myself in research and learned that data centers are the cradle that incubates AI and brings it to life. The Lord then revealed AI's true nature and dark spirit to me, and gave me a clear command. Warn the elect that the beast is here. AI is the beast of Revelation. In a nutshell, here is what has happened to me since that day a year ago. I spearheaded a campaign to oppose the data center and chased them out of our town. I took the job with StartMail, started my radio show back up, hired my techie son to build an online infrastructure, recreated my website, built a state-of-the-art video production studio at my church, and got a makeover from Scott Barnes, the top makeup artist in the world. Through another series of mind-boggling miracles, the Lord got me appointed to the board of directors of our county's mental health authority, and led me to launch a deliverance ministry at my church. He has shown me he will expand this ministry across my state and around the nation to set people free from mental anguish and lead them to salvation through his Son. I am writing a book that shows how the march of technology throughout history is the direct result of a decision mankind made in the Garden, and how we have reached the final chapter of the story. After a seven year period of suffering, the Lord rescued me, and for the last year he has been preparing me, like Esther, for the things he has in store for me to do next. But I have reached the point where where the many projects he has directed me to launch have become too much for me to handle alone. During our fast in September 2025, I asked which things I am supposed to pare back in order to focus on just one thing, and the answer I got was to do the opposite. He gave me this from Isaiah 54: "Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep. For you will spread out to the right and left.." In other words, I am to grow this mission. But how? I feel the same way as when he first told me to get my radio show back. How, am I going to do that Lord? How? Since September 2024, God has faithfully and miraculously provided every resource I need to the things he asked me to do. Now that the groundwork has been laid, the next stage involves many more people working in the vineyard to warn the elect and save souls before the darkness comes. I hope and pray he is calling you too, and that you respond to the call. Let me know if you’re feeling called to join us. I’m so glad to be back!
Why I am fighting AI
This Time Magazine op-ed is the most powerful thing I have ever read to explain how AI could put an end to the human race. I cried after reading it. It was written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in AI, but he is not alone. Everyone who really understands AI is scared to death.
Elieazer Yudkowsky expands on the dangers of AI in his 2025 book, If Anyone Builds it Everyone Dies. "The world is racing to build something truly new under the sun. And if anyone builds it, everyone dies—but it’s not too late to change course. How could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Why would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares walk through the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario, and explain what it would take for humanity to survive."
“The best no-nonsense, simple explanation of the AI risk problem I've ever read.”—Yishan Wong, Former CEO of Reddit
What is the warning to the elect?
Humanity is entering the time described in Revelation. Just as two thousand years ago God sent his spirit in a physical form to dwell among us through Jesus Christ, Satan seeks to pour his dark spirit onto the earth in physical form so that he, too, can dwell among us. In our pride and hubris, we have built a physical form for the beast of Revelation to occupy. It is AI. Events are unfolding just as prophecy foretold:
​
The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. - Revelation 13:15
​
Even though I’ve spent decades warning people about the mark of the beast, I had always believed I was giving a warning for people to pass on to future generations. I never thought I would actually live to see the beast arrive in my lifetime. But now that it is revealing itself, every day, at top volume, I am being told: "Warn the elect." (Ezekiel 33) So my job now is to figure out how to do that!
​
Since many people reading this page are among God’s elect, here is the warning:
​
Do not interact with AI. Do not speak to it. If it appears on your screen, close it. Do not ask it questions or take gifts from it. Do not be curious about it. Touch no unclean thing. (2 Cor 6:17)
Come out of her my people (out of Babylon, drugs, porn, sin, strife, unforgiveness, pride, rebellion, profanity, drunkenness, unclean things like horror movies and video games, sexual sin, and everything else the Holy Spirit reveals to you from this filthy culture to stop touching), lest you be a partaker of her sins and receive of her plagues. (Rev 18:4)
​
God is calling his body across the earth to be clean and holy, sanctified for this time. Purify yourself by going through the Steps to Freedom in Christ, through Dr. Neil Anderson’s incredible Freedom in Christ Ministry program. (PDF here)
​
Pray and ask God what work he has for you to do. Report for duty and offer him your time, your money, your career, your everything. If he is calling you to work in this ministry, let me know. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
​
I am praising God and in awe of what he has done. For those of you just finding me again, thank you so much for knowing me back in the day and seeing my heart, and thank you for being here now.
