In this episode of Wake Her Soul, Shawna and Camille continue their deep exploration of 2 Corinthians 10:5, turning their focus to what it truly means to demolish arguments and pretensions that set themselves up against the knowledge of God.
This conversation moves beyond thoughts and into beliefs—revealing how spiritual compromise often enters not through obvious rebellion, but through subtle reasoning, cultural justifications, and well-meaning voices that gently pull us away from truth.
Camille shares vulnerable personal stories about dismantling false beliefs within her own family, confronting spiritual mixtures, and navigating the emotional complexity of honoring loved ones while remaining obedient to Scripture. Together, Shawna and Camille unpack how pride, defensiveness, and even good intentions can keep us from fully surrendering to God’s Word.
This episode is not about fear, argument, or religious superiority.
It is about humility, discernment, and learning how to let God’s truth—not human reasoning—have the final authority in our lives.
If you’ve ever wrestled with:
• When to speak and when to stay silent• How to honor relationships without compromising conviction• Why certain beliefs feel harmless but contradict Scripture• Or how to dismantle false ideas with grace and truth
This conversation will meet you right where you are.
