Letting God Lead | Spiritual Warfare, Resentment, Holy Spirit, Daily Prayer, Biblical Encouragement

In this episode, I'm getting real about what it looks like when the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy—and more importantly, what we get to do about it through spiritual warfare prayer. I'm sharing my own story of postpartum depression and how an entire year of precious memories felt stolen from me, plus a powerful revelation I received about bringing the thief before the Judge. Here's what I learned: there's a specific way we're meant to pray when the enemy has stolen from us. It's not just asking God to restore—it's actually bringing the thief to the just Judge and demanding the sevenfold repayment that Scripture promises. This kind of spiritual warfare changes everything. I'm walking you through exactly how to identify what's been stolen, how to pray it back, and why this matters so much for 2026. Plus, I'm sharing what happened less than 16 hours after I prayed this prayer myself—the results were nothing short of miraculous. If you've stopped dreaming, stopped hoping, or stopped believing God for the big things because disappointment has hurt too much, this episode is for you. The Lord is ready to restore the years the locusts have eaten and make the enemy pay back what he's stolen—sevenfold.

What does it actually mean to surrender to God? And more importantly, HOW do we do it? How often do we say we're giving something to God, but then we're still up at night thinking about it, trying to control it, losing our peace over it? So in this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to surrender—whether it's your marriage, your kids, your finances, your business, or anything else the Holy Spirit is asking you to let go of. I share my own story of when God asked me to surrender my marriage (spoiler: it was terrifying), and the powerful questions the Holy Spirit gave me that made surrender to God actually practical instead of just a nice spiritual concept. I'll walk you through a beautiful exercise of packaging up what you need to surrender and offering it to Jesus as a gift. Trust me, there's so much freedom waiting for you on the other side of surrender. Grab your pen and paper for this one. Let's do this together!

You want to teach your kids about Jesus, but your husband isn't on the same page. Maybe he doesn't believe, or maybe faith just isn't a priority in your home right now. And if you're not careful, that situation can create some serious resentment in your marriage. I've been there. My husband once told me to stop saying "blessed" because we weren't "those people." So I get it - you're trying to honor your husband while also raising kids who know Jesus. Here's what I've learned: resentment is poison. When you hold onto bitterness about your spouse's spiritual journey, it damages your marriage and actually makes it harder for your kids to see Jesus through you. Your example is everything. They catch more from how you live than what you tell them. In this episode, I share five practical ways I introduced my children to Jesus when my husband didn't believe. These aren't complicated strategies - they're simple, everyday moments where you can naturally weave faith into your kids' lives while still honoring your marriage. You can't control your husband's relationship with Jesus, and honestly, trying to force it always backfires. But you absolutely can create space for your kids to encounter Him - even when you're the only one leading them there right now.

Listen mama, I know how lonely it feels when it seems like you're the only one who cares about your family's salvation. Your husband doesn't seem to get it or just thinks it's not a big deal. Your kids seem like they don't want much to do with God at all. And you're just sitting here staring at eternity, fearful that you won't see them or have them in heaven. That feeling was so incredibly real for me until God shared some beautiful insights that helped me shift my perspective. In this episode, I'm sharing the biblical encouragement that lifted the weight off my shoulders and gave me hope again. Whether your five-year-old is covering their ears when you pull out your Bible, your teenager is rolling their eyes at devotions, or your husband just doesn't seem interested in spiritual conversations, this episode is for you. I'm giving you practical biblical encouragement to stand firm in faith and stop carrying burdens that were never meant to be yours. My Heart for You: Mama, if you're feeling like the odd one out or the black sheep in your family because of your faith, I want you to know you're not alone. God showed me that through daily prayer and standing on His promises, we can have peace instead of anxiety about our family's eternity. This isn't about doing more or trying harder—it's about surrendering what isn't ours and focusing on what is. Daily prayer becomes less of a burden and more of a partnership with God when we understand what's truly ours to carry. Ready to Go Deeper?

Maybe your kids have been making some unwise decisions and you're just tired of being the only one fighting that spiritual warfare? Today we're diving into the stories of three mamas in the Bible who experienced real, tangible miracles in their homes.

I share my own miracle testimony about my son's bone tumor and how God led me to these passages during that scary time. Plus, we're getting into Scripture together and discovering three different ways God brings miracles: sometimes we seek Him out, sometimes He asks us what we want, and sometimes He just shows up. We'll talk about building your faith, the power of obedience even when you can't see the outcome, and how to envision and declare what you're believing God for. This episode includes a powerful prayer over you for breakthrough in your marriage, your children walking with God, and miracles in your home.

Mom guilt shows up constantly - over how we react, what we forget, the ways we fall short. But here's the truth: mom guilt is not just part of motherhood — that's spiritual warfare, and the enemy wants you stuck in guilt so you won't enjoy your kids. I'm sharing a story from my own motherhood that left me drowning in guilt for days. But through it, I discovered how faith brings real freedom from that constant weight. Here's what I want you to know: that guilt you're carrying? Jesus already removed it on the cross. We're going to talk about accepting God's forgiveness, forgiving yourself, and renewing your mind with truth instead of spiraling in lies. I'm also sharing a surprising story from Scripture about motherhood that's exactly what we need to hear when guilt overwhelms us. We can't be everywhere watching everything, but God can. When we partner with Him in prayer, we get to release that burden. You're doing a fantastic job, mama. It's time to tell guilt to go - because faith brings freedom.
