In this episode, Kate reflects on two connected themes: spiritual overflow and being fitted with the gospel of peace. She invites listeners to examine what is filling their hearts, how that overflow shows up in speech and action, and how to step into God’s call with courage.Kate also ties the message to the “sent one” identity in Romans 10, encouraging believers to move from receiving the word to sharing it with others in everyday life.

Key topics

• Kate shares a birthday reflection on four years of the Choose to Live Free podcast and the obedience journey behind it.
• She frames the episode around holy overflow from Luke 6:45, using the image of a water bottle under a running faucet to show how the heart fills and spills out.
• She teaches that believers are not filled just to hold onto truth, but to pour out encouragement, hope, and the gospel to others.
• Kate unpacks the “sent” blueprint from Romans 10:14-21: call, believe, hear, preach, and be sent.
• She emphasizes that fear, inadequacy, and excuses should not keep believers from sharing what God has given them.
• She explains spiritual landmines as tense, spiritually charged environments such as workplaces, family dynamics, waiting seasons, and relational conflict.
• Kate highlights the need to have feet “fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace” from Ephesians 6:15.
• She describes three attributes of fitted boots: stability, readiness, and defense/protection.
• She calls believers to preserve peace, stay spiritually prepared each morning, and respond to the Holy Spirit quickly.
