Stay the Course

What do you do when the battle keeps raging, even after you've done everything you know to do?

In this episode, I'm opening my journal and sharing what the Lord spoke to me in the middle of spiritual warfare. Starting from Ephesians 6:12, I want to remind you that our fight is not with people, even when the enemy uses people to come against our calling.

In Part 1, we cover the first three of seven points:

1. Take your authority. Stand in the authority Christ has given you over your home, your children, and the territory He's placed in your care.
2. Walk in love. Love the people being used against you with the love of Christ while keeping healthy, righteous boundaries. This only happens by God's grace, not willpower.
3. Trust God's timing and His how. At the right time, the Lord will make it happen.

Plus, a word for runners: the "mile nine" moment, and what changes once you push past it.

Part 2 is coming soon. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

We're not meant to carry this alone. Prayer is how we stand in the gap for each other, for the needs we carry, and for those who don't yet know Him.

On this episode, we reflect on Jeremiah 29:11 and the tension between trusting God’s plans and not seeing them, emphasizing that coming into agreement with God’s plans is key. This episode shares insights from John 6:9–13 (the loaves and fishes) to encourage listeners that what’s in their hand may seem small, yet God can multiply it and distribute it with order, often through others.

The “secret place” is explained as focused time with the Lord—prayer, silence, thanksgiving, and listening to the Holy Spirit—anywhere life happens, to learn God’s voice and identity in His Word. We reference 2 Kings 4:1–7 (Elisha and the widow’s oil) to show that what feels like “nothing” can be multiplied when offered to God and acted on in obedience.

Faith isn't a straight line. It's a series of choices to keep going even when it's hard. This podcast is a space for honest conversations, hard questions, and real encouragement for anyone trying to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus.

Each episode, we dig into what it actually looks like to walk in faith — wrestling with doubt, choosing courage over comfort, and building a life (and a community) that's honest about the struggle, not just the highlight reel.

So grab a chair, take a deep breath, and Stay the Course.
