Ep. 020. Step Out of the Boat: When Safe Isn’t Faithful

In this episode of the Called and Courageous Christian Woman,  we’re going back to Matthew 14—but this time, not to focus on Peter walking on water. In this episode, we talk about the disciples who stayed in the boat… and what it means when safe doesn’t equal faithful. If you’ve ever felt stuck between comfort and calling, this conversation will challenge the way you think about obedience, faith, and what it really looks like to follow Jesus. We also begin stepping into a deeper focus on the Fruit of the Spirit—starting with faithfulness—and how it plays out in real, everyday decisions. If you’ve been sensing God calling you into something more but feel hesitant to move, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need all the details—just the willingness to respond. Let’s talk about what it means to step out in faith, so we don’t miss the miracles God has for our lives Next steps ⬇️ Join FRUITFUL GIRL SUMMER Mailclub [https://www.posthou.se/calledncourageous] 💌 Shop my Etsy Shop!

017. Part 2 Spiritual Warfare & Domestic Abuse: Are Spiritual Attacks Real?

🎙️ Episode Summary: In this episode Sheyenne and Britton continue their conversation, with Sheyenne sharing how she came out the other side of her journey through domestic violence. She also speak about her book that is written to be a companion of the Bible– all sixty-six books in just sixty-six pages– and they talk personal stories on spiritual attack. Not coincidentally, tech issues led to an off-script conversation on personal experiences, how the podcast itself was born out of a season of spiritual warfare, and an urging for Christians to believe the Bible from cover to cover… the enemy is still as alive, active, and prowling today as he was in the Biblical narratives. Guard your hearts, friends!    🎧 Takeaways:   * The importance of community and connection in personal growth. * Hearing God's voice can manifest in various ways. * Recognizing red flags in relationships is crucial for safety. * Spiritual attacks can occur during significant life events. * Taking care of your own heart is essential in toxic relationships. * God's timing is often better than our own. * Creating the community you crave can lead to healing. * Documentation of experiences in toxic relationships is vital. * Don't get tired of doing good; blessings will come. * Let the Lord nurture you through difficult times.
