Episode 90

Why do Christian women keep battling the same sins, even when we truly want to change? In this episode, we expose the spiritual warfare behind habitual sin and how the enemy pushes back the moment we walk in obedience.

The Holy Spirit keeps bringing conviction through sermons, songs, and conversations because God is forming us. But as we obey, the enemy fights harder, hoping to derail us. That’s why prayer and the armor of God aren’t optional; they’re essential.

We’ll talk about:

• Why recurring sin is part of spiritual warfare, not just weakness

• Why accountability matters (God sent disciples out two by two for a reason!)

• Seeing conviction as God’s mercy, not shame

• How sanctification makes us stronger each time we fight

The battle between flesh and Spirit is real, but God equips us to overcome. If you’re tired of the cycle, remember: you’re not alone, and victory is possible through Christ.

Episode 89

In this episode, we dive into a question many believers wrestle with. From ancient texts and early church writings to modern books claiming divine insight, we explore how to approach extra-biblical material with wisdom and discernment.

While some historical and cultural resources can provide helpful background and deepen our understanding of the Bible, they should never replace or rival it. These must be tested carefully. The standard? God’s Word. The Bible is the only book God gave us as His Word, and it's complete.

Join us as we walk through how to navigate extra-biblical writings while keeping the authority and sufficiency of the Bible at the center of our faith.

Ep. 87 When life feels chaotic with unexpected detours, painful losses, or moments when evil seems to win, it’s natural to ask: Is God behind this?

In this episode, we’re leaning into the tension between God’s absolute sovereignty and our very real free will. We’ll talk about how God is always in control, but He never causes us to sin. He is holy and good; He does not manipulate us like robots. He gave us the gift of choice, and with it, the responsibility for what we speak, think, and do.

We’ll unpack what it means that God sometimes allows what He does not approve, and how even when evil happens in this broken world, He is never absent, never surprised, and never loses control. He is able to work all things, even the painful things together for His glory and our good.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like, “Does God make bad things happen?” or “Am I just a puppet on a string?” this conversation is for you.

Join us as we explore what Scripture says about God’s sovereignty, our free will, and the peace we can have knowing He is trustworthy through it all.

Ep. 86 Each time something comes up from your past, pray and ask the Lord to help you hand over those thoughts to Him. Ask the Lord to give you peace.

2 Corinthians 10:5, “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ”

Every time the enemy tries to throw our past in our face and bring it up, we can go straight to the Lord and ask Him to intervene and to give us healing. It’s not something we can do in our own strength. It comes as a result of continuously trusting in God and relying on Him and leaning on Him and His strength.

Remember: Guilt and shame are not from God. That is from satan. God will never cause you to feel guilt and shame. When we place our faith in Christ and receive salvation, He forgives us and He never throws our sin in our face!

Ep. 85 Jesus didn’t save us just to sit comfortably, He called us to actively follow Him and help others do the same. Whether you’re 18 or 80, a new believer or a long-time Christian, you need people to walk with you because faith isn’t meant to be walked alone. And that's what discipleship is all about.

Discipleship can feel like a complicated church word, but really it’s just about walking with Jesus and letting someone help you walk well.

It’s relationship over routine.

It’s transformation over information.

It's how real faith takes root and multiplies.

Join us in this episode, as we dive into:

✔️ What discipleship really is

✔️ Why it matters more than ever

✔️ How to be discipled (and how to disciple others)

Ep. 84 In this honest and hope-filled episode, we speak to the woman who feels unseen in her own home. Maybe your husband doesn't notice the effort you put in, or your children take without giving back. You love deeply but you're worn thin, and you wonder if anyone truly sees you.

The truth is: God sees every unseen act of service, every unheard prayer, and every unappreciated sacrifice. You are not invisible to Him. Today, let's explore how to anchor your worth in Christ and reclaim the value that the world, and even your family might miss.

You are loved. You are chosen. You are seen.

Genesis 16:13, "You are the God who sees me..."

Ep. 83 In our first video episode, we're introducing a new series, "Asking For A Friend!" If you've ever hesitated to ask a tough question about faith because you thought you *should* already know the answer... If you've ever felt like everyone else has their faith figured out while you're still trying to make sense of things... You're in the right place. This is a space to bring up real, honest, and sometimes even awkward questions about faith, life, and what it truly means to follow Jesus. Because here's the thing-we all have questions, especially when it comes to faith. And sometimes, we just don't know where to take them. But asking questions is not only okay, it's essential for spiritual growth!

In this series, we're going to tackle the hard stuff, the questions believers are actually asking. And here's the best part: these aren't just random questions we came up with. They're YOUR questions. This podcast is a conversation, and we want to hear from you. If you've got a burning question about faith, send it our way! Faith isn't about pretending to have it all together. It's about seeking, asking, and growing. And that's exactly what we're going to do together in this series. So grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's get into it. Because the questions we ask today just might be the ones that deepen our faith tomorrow.
