557 // God Will Fight for You: Replacing Dread with Courage (Bible Study and Devotional)

17 minutes

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is both a charge and a comfort as we step into this back-to-school season. I’m sharing a personal moment God used to spark a prayer movement—covering every school, student, teacher, and staff member we pass in His protection, peace, and favor. We begin our study of the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, where Jesus teaches a revolutionary way of living that still transforms hearts today. This week, we’ll unpack what it means to embody these “be-attitudes” in our everyday walk.

We also dive into Day 7 of The Confident Woman by Joyce Meyer, reflecting on Deuteronomy 1:29–31 and the subtle ways dread creeps into our thoughts. You’ll be encouraged to replace fear with courage, trust that God is fighting for you, and stand firm in the truth of 2 Timothy 1:7. If you’ve been feeling weighed down by “what ifs” or quiet anxieties, this episode will help you release them into God’s hands and step forward in His peace and power.

🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.
