Purpose Through Pain | Chelsea Vaughn | Episode 2

Why do we need Jesus? | Episode Six

In this episode, two hosts revisit Genesis 1–3 to explore a foundational question: Why do we need Jesus at all? What begins as a discussion of creation unfolds into a deeper exploration of humanity’s purpose, failure, and the consequences that followed. As we walk through the text, they examine often-overlooked details—from dominion and deception to shame, covering, and the curse—and uncover how these early chapters shape the entire biblical story. Through an honest and thought-provoking conversation, the episode reveals that the need for Jesus is not introduced later in Scripture, but is rooted in the very beginning.

Distractions and Spiritual Warfare | Episode 4

In Episode 4 of Hosting the Spirit, Mimi and Seb explore the reality of spiritual warfare. Not through fear or spectacle, but through Scripture, discernment, and intimacy with Jesus. We talk about spiritual resistance that can arise when chasing your purpose, fasting, or growing deeper in faith, and how to tell the difference between battling the flesh and facing opposition from the enemy. Looking at Jesus’ response to temptation, the armor of God, and the power of praying Scripture, we’re reminded that spiritual warfare is less about striving and more about where we place our attention. We close with a sobering question: If the enemy can’t destroy your faith, can he distract it? A conversation about remaining grounded, watchful, and centered on Christ. If you have been struggling, feeling like you're being spiritually attacked, or just need prayer please reach out! We would love to partner with you in prayer.
