Remember Lot’s Wife: Why We Keep Looking Back

In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we talk about the story of Lot’s wife and why her story still matters today. Was her sin really just “looking back,” or was something deeper going on? We explore how fear, comfort, anxiety, grief, nostalgia, and attachment to the past can keep us spiritually stuck. From Jesus saying “Remember Lot’s wife” in Luke 17 to our own struggles with loss, pressure, control, and learning to trust God, this became one of the most personal conversations we’ve had. This isn’t a polished theology lecture. It’s a real kitchen-table conversation about scripture, life, and what it means to let go and move forward in faith. Topics we discuss: * The story of Lot and Lot’s wife * Why people struggle to let go * Fear of the unknown * Trusting God during uncertainty * Anxiety and control * Grief and moving forward * What Jesus meant by “Remember Lot’s wife” * How the past can keep us spiritually stuck “And don’t look back.”

The Armor of God: The Battle You Can’t See

Most Christians know about the Armor of God from Ephesians 6. But what does it actually mean to “put it on” daily? In this episode, we sit down for an honest kitchen-table conversation about spiritual warfare, distraction, anxiety, drift, and the unseen battles that can quietly pull people away from God. We talk about: • What “not flesh and blood” really means • Why spiritual warfare is usually more subtle than people think • Breaking down each piece of the Armor of God • Why truth, peace, faith, and scripture matter daily • How success, comfort, and distraction can slowly pull us away from dependence on God • Why staying spiritually grounded requires daily discipline This is not a fear-driven conversation about demons behind every problem. It’s a real discussion about staying close to Christ in a world full of noise, distraction, and spiritual drift. Ephesians 6 reminds us that the battle is real, but so is the victory already won in Christ.

What Our Parents Never Gave Us

Some of the deepest wounds in life don’t come from what happened to us. They come from what never happened at all. The conversations we never had. The approval we never received. The comfort, encouragement, or guidance we spent years wishing for. In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we reflect on grief, parenting, childhood memories, and the empty places many of us still carry long into adulthood. But what if those gaps weren’t accidents? What if the things our parents never gave us were the very things that pushed us toward God? We talk honestly about: * chasing approval * success that still feels empty * learning to stop blaming the past * why discomfort often deepens faith * and how God fills the places people never could This is one of our most personal conversations yet, including an original song called “Hold On” inspired by a childhood memory and the realization that the hand we were meant to reach for was never just our parents’… but His. If you’ve ever struggled with loss, regret, unmet expectations, or wondering why certain voids exist in your life, this episode is for you.

End Times Are Everywhere Right Now… But Are We Missing the Real Warning?

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we tackle one of the most talked-about topics right now… the end times. From wars and global tension to viral predictions all over social media, it feels like everyone is trying to figure out what’s happening and what it means. But instead of chasing headlines or speculation, we go back to what actually matters: What did Jesus really say? We walk through key passages from the New Testament, including Matthew 24, and break down the signs people often point to like: * Wars and rumors of wars * Natural disasters * Cultural decline * False prophets and predictions But more importantly, we focus on the warning that gets overlooked the most: Deception. Jesus didn’t just warn about events… He warned that people would be misled, even those who think they understand the truth. We also talk about: * Why not every “sign” means what people think * How false teachings and predictions spread so easily today * What it actually means to stay grounded in your faith * How to discern truth in a world full of noise This isn’t about predicting dates or feeding fear. It’s about staying rooted in Scripture, thinking clearly, and not being fooled. If you’ve ever wondered what’s real, what’s hype, and how to navigate it all… this conversation is for you.

Why It’s So Hard to Say No as a Christian

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we talk about something most Christians quietly struggle with… saying no. Have you ever said yes to something, only to feel drained, overwhelmed, or even a little resentful afterward? Why does it feel so hard to set boundaries without feeling guilty? We share our own experiences with overcommitting, people-pleasing, and putting everything else ahead of what actually matters most. Then we look at what Scripture shows us through the life of Jesus. He didn’t respond to every request. He didn’t meet every demand. And yet, He was perfectly loving. So what does that mean for us? We walk through passages from the New Testament and wrestle with what it looks like to: * Serve others without burning out * Say no without feeling like a bad Christian * Give our time and energy wholeheartedly, not half-heartedly * Seek God’s will instead of trying to please everyone This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about learning, growing, and walking through it together. If you’ve ever felt overextended or struggled with guilt for setting boundaries, this conversation is for you.
