We’re kicking off our deep dive into the Gospel of John with one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: Jesus is the light, and the darkness cannot overcome Him.

This isn’t a surface-level devotional. We’re slowing down, digging in, and learning how to actually study the Bible—starting with John 1:1–5. Whether you’re showing up with questions, doubts, or a hunger for more of Jesus, this one’s for you.

Let’s be real—sometimes you don’t even have the words. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth about walking through depression, wrestling with obedience, and trying to pray when everything feels heavy. If you’ve ever been in a season where you’re just not okay, this one’s for you.

We’re talking:
– Why 60% obedience isn’t obedience
– What Romans 8:26 actually means for your prayer life
– Letting your silence and your tears be your prayers
– Why healing doesn’t have to wait until after the storm

You’re not alone, and you’re not a failure. This is real faith in real life.

Prayer isn’t something you do after the battle... it's how you fight. We’re breaking down how prayer fits into the armor, how to build a stronger prayer life, and how to move forward living armored and ready every single day.

If reading the Bible feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. So many people believe they have to immediately love reading Scripture, and when they don’t, they assume something is wrong with them. But that’s a lie from the enemy. In today’s episode, I break down the biggest misconceptions about Bible reading and why resistance to getting into the Word is completely normal.

I share my personal journey of going from avoiding the Bible altogether to falling in love with it—and how that transformation didn’t happen overnight. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing it wrong, if you’ve struggled to build consistency, or if you just don’t know where to start, this episode will give you the encouragement (and the reality check) you need.

I share how this sword isn’t just for defense but for actively cutting through the enemy’s lies, equipping me to fight back in spiritual warfare. I explain why it’s essential to have a personal relationship with Scripture, study it daily, and live out its transformative truth in every area of my life.

In this episode, I dive into the amazing truth of God's holiness and how it should completely realign my priorities. I share a raw and personal message about taking God’s goodness seriously—not just asking what He can do for me, but recognizing that He is good simply because He is holy. I reflect on how embracing His holiness challenges me to live differently, set aside true "Jesus time" each morning, and surrender the things that keep me from fully worshiping Him. Inspired by a powerful sermon from Haley Melinda, I explore how understanding God's holiness can transform the way I show up every day and why we, as believers, need to stop taking our relationship with Him for granted.

Link to the blog post: https://meandjesus.life/2025/01/03/the-shield-of-faith-armor-of-god-part-5In this episode, we focus on the Shield of Faith from Ephesians 6:16. Faith isn’t just a belief—it’s an active choice to trust God when doubt, fear, or temptation comes our way. Just like a physical shield, faith guards our hearts and minds from the enemy’s attacks, helping us stand firm in God’s promises.

Key Points
• The Shield of Faith extinguishes “fiery darts” like fear, anxiety, and discouragement.
• Faith is an active reliance on God’s character, not a passive feeling.
• Jesus modeled perfect faith, showing us how to trust the Father, even in hardship.
• We can strengthen our faith through Scripture, prayer, community, and remembering God’s past faithfulness.

These spiritual “shoes” give us stability and readiness, grounding us in God’s truth so we can stand firm and even move forward with confidence. We’ll talk about how genuine peace isn’t tied to circumstances but rooted in the gospel—our reconciliation with God through Jesus.

Key Points Covered
• What the Shoes of Peace are and why stability matters in spiritual warfare
• How peace, rooted in the gospel, guards us from fear, anxiety, and division
• Jesus as our ultimate example of peace (John 16:33)
• Practical ways to “put on” the Shoes of Peace daily (prayer, surrender, and pursuing peace in relationships)
