In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that resonates with many of us: silencing the lies that the enemy tells us. We often find ourselves battling negative thoughts and accusations that can derail our faith and confidence. I share three powerful questions designed to help dismantle these lies and reclaim our truth. I begin by acknowledging the cruel and sadistic nature of the enemy, who delights in kicking us when we're down. It's important to recognize that while the enemy is relentless, we also have the power to combat these lies. I reflect on my own journey with spiritual warfare, sharing how I initially became obsessed with control and protection, only to realize that true protection comes from trusting God as our Father. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that spiritual warfare is not about control but about understanding our legal authority in Christ. I discuss how God sometimes allows challenges in our lives to teach us resilience and to prepare us for spiritual battles. Drawing from scripture, I highlight Isaiah 54:17, which reassures us that no weapon formed against us will prevail and that we have the power to refute every accusation.   Join my newsletter!

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the profound topic of joy, specifically exploring the biblical truth that "the joy of the Lord is our strength," from Nehemiah 8:10. The inspiration for this discussion came from a poignant conversation I encountered on TikTok between a pastor and a Christian musician, both of whom have experienced the heart-wrenching loss of children. They reflected on the significance of joy as a source of strength, prompting me to consider why God chose joy over other attributes like courage, knowledge, or faith. I also differentiate between joy and happiness in this episode, explaining that joy is a deeper, more sustainable perspective rooted in truth, while happiness is fleeting. I highlight the dangers of hopelessness and how it often stems from lies we believe about our circumstances. By cultivating joy, we can combat hopelessness and maintain an eternal perspective, even in challenging times. Take the next step and join my newsletter list.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I delve into a topic that many Christians grapple with: the love of money. We kick off by addressing the common fear surrounding 1 Timothy 6:10, which was translated incorrectly to state, "the love of money is the root of all evil." This verse often leads believers, especially women, to feel guilty about their desire to earn and manage money, fearing that it may lead them away from their faith. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of understanding the context of scripture. I clarify the original text of 1 Timothy 6:10, and show you how you can determine if you are at risk of the love of money being at work in your life.
