Marina Walker thought she had security—fifteen years in the corporate world, a steady paycheck, and a clear career path. But when an unexpected layoff shattered her sense of stability, she was forced to make a choice: retreat to the familiarity of another job or step into the vision that had been burning in her heart for years.

As she meticulously laid the foundation for her business, God was simultaneously rebuilding her foundation of faith. Through setbacks, doubts, and moments of near defeat, Marina learned that success wasn’t just about strategy—it was about spiritual fortitude.

This powerful installment in the Unshaken Series is a story of perseverance, spiritual warfare, and the undeniable truth that victory isn’t just about achieving a goal—it’s about becoming the warrior God called you to be. Marina’s journey will inspire anyone who has ever faced uncertainty, fear, or delay, reminding us all that the battle is already won—but only if we’re dressed to fight. Read how Ephesians 6:14-17 comes alive through Marina's story.

*All characters in this story are fictional, as are the trials depicted, though they reflect struggles that many can relate to.

🎙️ Podcast Episode Synopsis: "Building an Unshaken Faith – The Blueprint for Stability"

Are you tired of feeling like life keeps knocking you down? What if I told you that your foundation—not the storm—is what determines whether you stand firm or crumble under pressure? In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 7:24-27and uncover how to build a faith-driven foundation that can withstand any storm.

Using the acronym S.O.A.R., we break down four powerful steps to cultivate a faith that lasts:

💡 S - Study God’s Word (Biblical wisdom for life starts with knowing what He says.) 💡 O - Obey God’s Word (Faith without action is dead—live what you believe!) 💡 A - Activate the Holy Spirit (Speak to your obstacles and declare victory.) 💡 R - Rest in His Promises (Trust that God’s timing is perfect, even in uncertainty.)

We’ll also explore how faith over fear, trusting God’s timing, and Christian motivation can transform your daily walk. If you’ve ever struggled with overcoming doubt and fear, felt stuck while waiting on God’s promises, or wrestled with faith fatigue, this episode is for you!

🔥 Plus, we’ll break down lyrics from Still by Bryan Courtney Wilson and explore how biblical truth for modern life is reflected in today’s culture.

📌 Tune in for: ✅ Faith-based encouragement to strengthen your foundation. ✅ God-centered strategies for navigating uncertainty with confidence. ✅ Real-world applications that make faith practical, powerful, and personal.

We’ve all searched for something—whether it’s love, fulfillment, validation, or success. But what happens when the things we chase leave us feeling empty? In this episode, we’re flipping the script and talking about what it really means to find real love—not just in relationships, but in God.

Inspired by Turn On the Lights by Future and Real Love by Mary J. Blige, we’re breaking down: ✔ Why chasing jobs, relationships, and material things won’t fulfill us ✔ The difference between being a dream chaser vs. a God chaser ✔ What happens when jobs end, money runs low, and people switch up ✔ How God’s love is the only love that never fails (Hebrews 13:8) ✔ A prayer of decrees and declarations to bind false validation and loose real love over our lives

If you’ve ever felt like you’re looking for something more—this episode is for you. It’s time to stop searching in the dark and let God’s love be the light that leads you.
