Episode 9 | Spiritual Warfare

This week, we paused our series on the Seven Deadly Sins to address something we felt needed to be addressed: Spiritual warfare. We have been feeling the warfare ourselves, and many of those connected to us have as well. What is spiritual warfare? How should we respond when it comes? And is it something many in today’s church misunderstand? We also discuss the often-overlooked topic of suffering and how it not only fits within the gospel but is an essential part of it. Join us as we explore what Scripture teaches about standing firm in the midst of the battle. Takeaways * Recognizing the signs of spiritual abuse * Understanding the impact of spiritual warfare * The role of faith and intervention in overcoming suicidal thoughts * Empathy and support in times of spiritual struggle * The impact of spiritual service and intervention * Finding peace and understanding in times of spiritual struggle * Embracing the full truth of the Gospel * Embracing faith in the face of tribulation.

Episode 7 | Gluttony

Gluttony in the church does not always look like excess food. Sometimes it looks like a life ruled by comfort, cravings, and constant consumption while calling it freedom. In this episode, we are joined by Allyssa's husband, Nick, and we tackle how unchecked appetite can quietly become an idol, dulling our spiritual hunger for God. We unpack why fasting is one of Scripture’s greatest antidotes, training the flesh to submit, sharpening spiritual discernment, and reminding us that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from God. Takeaways * Fasting as a form of repair * Gluttony as overindulgence Fasting as a means of intimacy with Jesus * We eat because we're addicted to eating, not because we are actually hungry * The impact of gluttony on health and spirituality Chapters * 00:00 The Devil's Deception * 07:40 Impact of Gluttony * 16:41 Fasting and Healing * 23:20 The Connection Between Fasting and Self-Control * 30:36 The Biblical Perspective on Food Laws and Gluttony * 36:23 The Spiritual Significance of Food and Fasting * 43:19 The Impact of Fasting on Health and Spirituality

Episode 8 | Pride

Pride doesn’t always look like what we think it does. It entangles across multiple areas of our lives and presents differently to different people. Sometimes it hides behind self-reliance, offense, control, comparison, or the constant need to be right. In this episode of our Seven Deadly Sins series, we unpack how pride quietly slips into our hearts. We talk about why humility is so difficult and how surrender to God breaks the cycle—honest conversation, biblical truth, and, probably, at least one moment when everyone listening feels personally attacked.

Episode 6 | House in Order

This week, we explore marriage and the pursuit of true unity within it. We discuss the distinct roles of husband and wife and why embracing those differences, rather than resisting them, brings greater peace and alignment. Marriage isn't just a relationship; it's a refining process. As we surrender to God's design, it becomes a journey of sanctification that shapes us into holiness and reflects the nature of the triune God. Takeaways * Biblical structure of the home * Understanding the role of husband and wife * Submission and mutual respect in marriage Communication is key * Understanding the role of husbands and wives in marriage Chapters * 00:00 Submission and Mutual Respect in Marriage * 01:17:16 Dying for Your Spouse

Episode 5 | Spiritual Infancy

Growth in faith doesn’t start with strength—it starts with dependence. In this episode, we talk about how true salvation begins with a humble, repentant heart—and how that posture is what actually opens the door to real maturity in Christ. We also get into something that might step on a few toes: how parts of the church can keep people dependent on milk to maintain a kind of supply and demand… and what it looks like to recognize that and break free from it. Our prayer for this episode is simple—that anything you’ve been leaning on that isn’t God would be exposed, so you can step into deeper freedom and growth.
