Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is all about standing firm in the freedom Jesus already purchased for you — even when the enemy tries to pull you back into old patterns, fears, or mindsets.

We start with a gentle reminder: don’t let starting stop you. Whether it’s opening your Bible, rebuilding a habit, or coming back to God after a dry season, a small start still counts. Through our biblical affirmation and Romans 12:2, we talk about how God renews our minds and reshapes our thinking as we continue to show up with Him.

Then we recap our study in Colossians 3:12 –17, remembering who we are in Christ — chosen, holy, and dearly loved — and what it looks like to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, love, peace, and gratitude in our everyday lives.

Finally, we close out the “Freedom in Christ” devotional by Pastor Charles Stanley with a powerful reading from Day 10: Standing Firm. With Ephesians 6:10 –13 and Galatians 5:1 as our anchor, we look at the reality of spiritual warfare, the lies that threaten our freedom, and the invitation to actively guard our hearts, stand on God’s truth, and remain free in Christ.

If you’ve been feeling weary, attacked, or like you’re slipping back into what God already delivered you from — this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and let God strengthen your heart to stand firm.
