    The Peggy Joyce Ruth podcast is a transformative resource that has had a profound impact on my life. Peggy Joyce Ruth's teachings are filled with wisdom and revelation, and I find myself constantly listening to them and taking detailed notes as I am a slow learner. However, even though it takes time for the lessons to sink in, I have seen significant transformation in my life and I am grateful for Jesus' guidance through this process.

    One of the best aspects of The Peggy Joyce Ruth podcast is Peggy's anointing to speak, preach, and teach the Word like no one else I have ever heard. As a Christian of over 20 years, I have come across many truths before, but Peggy has a unique ability to bring sparkle and life into these messages. She makes the Christian walk seem attainable and actionable in the present moment rather than something to strive for "one day." Her teaching on peace is especially impactful, and I have shared it with everyone I know because I want them to experience the same freedom.

One potential downside could be that some may find her teaching style too simplified or basic if they prefer more in-depth theological discussions. However, this simplicity is actually one of its strengths as Peggy makes complex concepts easy to understand for listeners from all walks of life.

    In conclusion, The Peggy Joyce Ruth podcast is an incredible resource that has had a profound impact on my spiritual journey.

    Our fight is not won by fighting in our own flesh and blood strength but by fighting the enemy in God's strength. But even though we are fighting in God's strength, it is still OUR struggle; it is OUR warfare, and we must learn how to overcome in God's strength. We must learn how to fight and overcome the enemy.
