In Jesus’ Name | Christian Podcast | Overcoming Fear and Shame to Live Free in Jesus Name

This episode is personal. Today, I’m sharing about the battlefield in our minds — the place where the enemy loves to plant doubt, fear, and lies that keep us from truly knowing God.

We are looking at 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 in the NLT. Dive into God's word and allow Him to transform your mind. 

Every stronghold we allow the enemy to build is one more wall between us and deeper intimacy with our Creator. But through Jesus, we have the power to tear those walls down. 🕊️

* "We use divine weapons to defeat strongholds, that keep us from knowing God, and we demonstrate obedience and authority of our minds in Christ."

Join me as we talk about identifying those strongholds, replacing lies with truth, and learning to take every thought captive in obedience to Christ.

Hebrews 11, often called the Hall of Faith, reminds us that the heroes of Scripture didn’t live by what they could see — they lived by what they believed. Their eyes were fixed on heaven, not the world around them.

Faith isn’t a feeling that comes and goes; it’s a foundation of truth that we stand on. It’s what carries us when emotions waver and circumstances shift. In this episode, we talk about what it means to walk by faith and live for something greater — trusting the God who always keeps His promises.

Our final episode in the series on hope. Are little choices putting holes in your ship? Are you making the right choices that steer your boat in the right direction? Or are you lost at sea because you've put your hope in something other than Christ?

My hope is in the transformation process that occurs when I walk with Jesus daily. My mind is transformed, my decisions are aligned with God's will, I am more obedient to His commands and I look more like Jesus. 

In this episode, we’re talking about how God directs our lives like a rudder steers a ship. Ephesians 4:19–22 reminds us to “put off the old self” and be renewed in our minds. God showed me how even the smallest, most ordinary choices can completely change the direction of our lives. Each decision is like a tiny turn of the rudder — and when we surrender those turns to Him, He leads us toward freedom, purpose, and transformation.

🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to let the Holy Spirit guide your daily choices and renew your heart.

This morning, God gently showed me something I didn’t even realize—I’d been living with a performance-based faith. I was striving to do everything “right,” but missing the simple truth that I just need more of Him. In this episode, I share how God met me in that moment and began transforming my mind and heart. It’s not about doing more for Him, it’s about being with Him. When we shift from performing to abiding, that’s where real transformation begins.

When we live by the law, we live in bondage — always striving but never feeling enough. But when we live in Christ, we step into true freedom. Jesus fulfilled the law so we could walk in grace, not guilt.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to stop striving for perfection and start living in the freedom that comes through faith in Jesus. You are no longer a slave to rules, religion, or your past — you are a child of God, covered by His love and led by His Spirit.

Hope is the wind in our sails—it moves us forward when life’s seas get rough. Hope isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us. There’s no secret formula to hearing from God or walking in relationship with Him. It’s all because of Jesus. Through Him, we have access to the Father, we receive the Spirit, and we are given a confident hope that anchors our lives.

Life brings storms—some small, some overwhelming—but every day has its waves. In this episode, we’ll talk about why hope in Christ must be our anchor when the winds of worry, fear, and discouragement rise. Hope isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a steady confidence rooted in God’s promises. Just like an anchor keeps a boat from drifting in rough waters, true hope keeps our faith grounded in truth when life feels unsteady. Join us as we explore how to hold fast to Jesus, the sure and steadfast anchor for our souls, and find stability in the everyday storms.
