the Warrior SHE: Recent Episodes
lisawagnerwrites
This is a welcome place for willing minds and open hearts to dive into a unique exploration of the lives of women of the Bible who bear witness to the reality of life's battles. Not only do they show us how the Armor of God is to be worn and cared for, but they have tested it out in the field so that we too can know how to use it for ourselves. Join me each episode on The Warrior SHE Podcast as we step boldly beside these brave Warriors, linking shields and gaining ground, allowing God to pierce our hearts with the truth of His Word. Be ready to find the targets placed on us by the enemy, drawing up battle plans to overcome and stand firm in the victory of the Lord! You will be encouraged to defeat the bombarding thoughts which tell you, you are not enough. And the Warrior SHE continued to discover her true identity in Christ!
Are you tired of that loop of regret which tells you “You’re stuck?” That constant feeling that you’re all alone in this mess? That everyone else has got it all together, while you’re looking for a chance at a do-over?
I’ve been there, Warrior. Trapped in the thought that I made all the wrong choices. We all have. Because we can’t avoid those windows of opportunity which pop up without notice.
Am I going to tell you that on the other side of your choices, you’ll never experience pain? Or that no one will ever hurt you again?
No, I can’t make those promises. But I can share with you a woman's life from the Bible, framed by two windows of opportunity, giving a cautionary tale about the value of making guided choices. It encourages us how to better prepare for right thinking in the moment, whether it’s an opportunity we have time to contemplate, or one we need to make on the fly.
So, let’s step into the life of Michal, a woman who endured a true tragedy of the heart, but who’s pain can be purposed to prepare us for our windows, as we learn to walk away without regret.

We've all struggled through seasons in life when we feel powerless to overcome trials and troubles which tend to torment our soul.
But no matter whether we proclaim a faith in God or not, we will continue to be oppressed on occasion as we are all subject to a spiritual battle which wages all around us. Yes, we are all participants in an unseen war between good and evil, each spirit rallying to win us to their side.
But let us not lose heart, as Jesus encourages, for He has already overcome the world. In fact, He began demonstrating His power over evil even as He ministered here on earth.
Join me as we step into the life one such Warrior who began bent over and bound in oppression. But Jesus not only healed her, but freed her, giving her the faith to stand upright before Him, casting off her former shame and realizing the warrior within.

It can take all our energy to be stuck in the middle of two fighting friends, and what we wouldn't give for a peaceful pause to the strife.
Jealousy rages, feelings get hurt, backs are turned. And there you stand in the middle trying to give each of them support, challenging your heart to not to take sides.
And while these are challenging times to remain steadfast as good friends, don't be surprised if you've ever stood firm and been open about your faith. Because this may actually be a time of testing in the spirit realm. So, give your armor a good tug, Warrior, steady yourself as you take in this spiritual battle and all it has to teach.
But don't fear, because you're not alone. In fact, many warriors have been through similar, and even fiercer battles. In fact, if you will give me your time today, we will take a look at some valuable lessons from two warriors who lived out this very real handmaids tale.
That's right, today we will be meeting the warriors, Bilhah and Zilpah, two women of the Bible who served sisters bent on a battle, each bearing more boys than the other, leaving these warriors weary in the messy middle.

How do you deal with those days when you can't see past the struggle standing in your way? When you can't move beyond the messy middle, wondering if you’ll ever make it to the end?
We've all been there, Warrior. Longing for the hope of a happy ending, but tripping over trials along the way.
But what if you stopped to imagine yourself in one of those Netflix series? You know, like the one you can't turn off until you know how it ends. Have you ever noticed that it's actually the difficulties they face which keep you watching?
You may be surprised to know, that the Bible is not so different. In fact, that's why I'm inviting you to join me to study the life story of this week's Warrior, Gomer. No, she's not a likely topic for daily devotional, but certainly one worth watching until the end. Because I believe that together she will help us learn how to push past our trials and hold on to the hope for our happy ending.

No one really likes an interruption. Not when it steals your attention, stifles your creativity, or stagnates your progress. I mean, how many times have you planned to accomplish something by a specific time, when someone interrupted you, only to talk your ear off? It can be so hard to even pay attention to what they're saying, when all you can think of is how your whole schedule has just been shifted, altering your attitude and postponing your progress. But what if we were able to see life's interruptions from a new view? One which shifted our perspective, taking in each moment as a teachable, rather than tormented one. Because I believe that's what today's Warrior was privileged to learn, even in the middle of one the greatest interruptions in her life. Yes, she and her husband had lost everything and become refugees. But because they listened and became teachable in the trouble, their perspective shifted. Join me today as we step into the lives of the amazing Warrior, Priscilla, and her husband, Aquila, as we witness how two-gether they formed a partnership of hospitality to spread the gospel.

Did you know that God has gifted you in special ways so that you can, not only fulfill your life's purpose, but receive joy and peace as you do?
These Spiritual Gifts often seem clouded in mystery, causing us misunderstanding and confusion. But what if I told you that God is eager for you to learn more about your special and specific gifts, and has even laid out a basic pattern for how to put them into practice?
That's right! Today, we are going to step into the life of a Warrior who display's this pattern in such a clear and concise manner, that it will inspire you to put your gifts into practice as a service to others.

No one wants to suffer from a broken promise. Unfortunately, it seems to be a certainty of life, and often at the hand of someone who is completely unaware of the disappointment they have caused us. Although the circumstances of our betrayal vary widely, we often suffer the same range of lonely and abandoned feelings, no matter how brief the blow, or bitter the breakdown. And all too often, these tangled fears and feelings can make our faith hard to find. But thank God for His #GRACE that is able to fill the void and work through even the most difficult disappointments. Yes, even with our various flaws and faults, which cause our faith to falter, God’s grace has the power to transform us into Warriors who overcome. That’s why I’m excited to share our newest Warrior this week, as we will witness just such a transformation. Join me as we step into the life of Tamar, who was abandoned, not only by a broken promise, but also to her own desperate drive to defend her future. Wait until you see how God’s grace brought restoration, renewal and redemption, even to the promise breaker. Join me as we watch a wayward woman, by grace, became a warrior, in spite of the betrayal.

We'd be lying to say we don't fear the future. But each of us has a unique reason for that fear.
Is yours related to some trouble that marched itself in, unannounced, snatching your peace, leaving you no way out? Did you feel violated, broken, cheated and alone when that traitor "trouble" took what you'd planned for so long?
How come no one warned us that life was so unfair? I mean, don't you ever wondere how things might have turned out differently, if only someone had warned you?
Join me today, as we step into the life of a Warrior who seemed to be better prepared for such trouble when it turned up in her life without warning. Let's see what we can learn from the way she took action, making a decisive choice that changed, not only her future, but also the lives of those around her.
Let's ditch the lie that we have to fear the future and replace it with the truth that prepares us to fulfill the purpose God has planned for us.

Anyone can sound courageous mapping out a battle plan for others to carry out. But let the flaming arrows begin to fly a little too close to home, and all those brave words can get lost amidst the complaints, confusion and doubt.
So how can we better prepare ourselves?
Why not take some lessons from a Warrior who demonstrated a courageous FAITH that was also contagious. Someone like Deborah, the Prophetess, who not only managed many roles, as most women do, but at the same time, spoke words of faith which led a nation to victory.
Amazingly, she did not let other people’s lack of faith, or their negativity sway her. Nor was she overcome by her own pride, causing her to miss her purpose.
Join me as we learn from Deborah how to be a courageous warrior who demonstrates contagious faith when the battle becomes most fierce.

How do you prepare for the answer to your biggest prayer? Do you have everything all lined up and ready for God to show up?

Whether you're a prayer warrior or a prayer worry-er, it can be difficult to muddle through the middle while waiting on God to answer. So, what exactly are we to do, after the "Amen?" Join me today for this 4th and final episode in our series on the Warrior Esther, as we explore just that! If ever there was an overwhelming and impossible situation, Esther faced it. But that didn't stop her from boldly praying and preparing for God to move.

How often do we STAND in line, STAND in for someone who is not available, or even STAND for up for beliefs? But are we doing so because we believe that physically standing is necessary?
I mean, especially in today's technology driven world, why stand when you can sit, right?
Still, I would argue that if you're a Warrior, questions of posture such as this, are moot. In fact, learning to stand is the first lesson our Warrior this week, Esther has to teach us. I mean, how else could she get the attention of someone with the power and authority to help her fulfill her purpose. But soon we'll see that she wasn't the only one standing.
Join me today as we discover the purpose and power of STANDing, and how you too can see victory in life’s battles as you hold the same posture.

Quick survey: Who likes surprises?
Depending on your life experience, you may interpret that question in a variety of ways. Some may vividly imagine a room filled with brightly colored streamers and cheerful friends gathered to greet them. While others may only hear the ominous ringtone, which awakens them in the middle of the night, bringing news that changes everything.
Even though these examples fall on the either end of the spectrum, each circumstance we face in between will also present itself with a degree of uncertainty. And we would be foolish to believe there was a way to plan every detail of life to avoid it.
So, what do we do to avoid those sleepless nights, when our minds won't shut off with worry about the future? You know, during those uneasy times of waiting when our security seems just out of reach.
Join me today as we step back into the life of our Warrior, Esther, as her life takes one of these very uncertain turns just when everything seemed to be going her way.
Learn how to be clothed with all that God provides in order to be prepared to join Him in the purpose He has prepared for you.

When things aren't going our way, it's easy to believe that God doesn't really care. That He won't even answer if we call.
So off we go to the gym every morning, to stay strong and take care of ourselves. But the truth is, that will never prepare us for the inner-strength we will need to get through the tough times alone.
So, what are we to do?
If you want, I could introduce you to a girl I know. You’ll never believe the trouble that came knocking on her door. She has the most amazing story of survival. You see, once she made her mind up, she realized that God was not only near, but that He had actually been a few steps ahead of her all the time.
Would you like to meet her?
Join me as we step into the life of a young girl who faithfully stood firm to realize the warrior within.

When was the last time you truly felt inspired?
Was it when you heard someone speaking bold wisdom to a crowd? Or were you simply an innocent bystander, witnessing a brave action of integrity?
Could it be that through those inspiring words or actions you may have received an overflow of the TRUTH and GOODNESS of God, even though His name was never mentioned?
By definition, to be inspired, means to be permeated with the spirit to do something, as if by supernatural or divine influence. So, could it be that the inspiration you received, was actually an in-Spirit-ion?
It’s often not until we are willing to take time and honestly reflect that we see how God has woven His influence throughout our lives, directing our purpose. And what a beautiful tapestry of goodness He weaves!
Join me in this last episode in the life of Hannah, as we reflect on the brave choices she made which inspired a life of faith and purpose, demonstrating the truth of how God absolutely works all things together for good!

Faced with a difficult situation, many of us know we should pray, but all too often feel inadequate. Still we do our best to cry out to God, asking, hoping, uncertain if we are using the right words. We might even know someone to take our troubles to that we believe has a direct line to God, believing their prayers carry more weight than ours.
But how exactly did that person learn the language of prayer? And what qualifies them to enter the spirit realm as a prayer warrior on our behalf? It can often seem so confusing.
But prayer doesn’t have to remain a mystery. Join me today as we discover from one woman's prayer, not only a simpler way to talk to God, but a weapon to guard ourselves as we become prayer warriors.

Words. We often throw them about casually, without realizing their power. It doesn't always matter whether they are spoken to us, about us, or by us, words can have the power to overcome or overwhelm us. And all too often, when words overwhelm us, we feel bullied or offended.
Did you realize that we can even bully ourselves? That's right! The words we allow to dwell in our thoughts or come out of our mouths can bully us to the point of impacting our identity.
That's why I'm so blessed by the lessons our Warrior this week teaches by her actions. She shows us how we can respond in a powerful way in the absence of words.
Join me today as we step into the life of Hannah who stood firm in her shoes of peace to overcome when she was being overwhelmed by words.

So many forces throughout our life seem to tell us who we are, from childhood name calling to the conflict and stress which triggers anxiety and depression. All too often we are convinced of the lie that we are not worthy. That our identity is less-than.
But the truth is, God wants to step in and reveal how He sees us! He desires, not only to lift our burdens and anxieties, but to speak wholeness and peace over us, claiming us as His own daughters. He wants us to realize our new identity in Christ!
Join me today as we take one more look into the life of our Warrior, the Woman with the Issue of Blood. We will dig deeper into the words Jesus speaks over her; the words Jesus speaks over us. Let us claim our identity as Daughters of the King, who have a great and eternal inheritance.

How often do we pray, wait for an answer and then wonder if God really heard us?
Was that thing that happened yesterday a 'sign?' Is what my friend randomly said to me a word from God? Or does the void of all reason mean I prayed for the wrong thing?
It's often difficult for us to understand how God communicates. But that's what I love about the life story of our Warrior this week, the Woman with the Issue of Blood.
I know! Strange name and description, huh? But when we stop and delve a little deeper, we can learn, not only about the miracle of her healing, but also about the insight of her hearing.
Join me for this episode as we grow in our understanding of how God communicates and how we can better discern His voice.

REPOST: in case you missed it
PAIN does not discriminate. It charges forth in all our lives, often in seasons unexpected.
Maybe yours is physical PAIN, or financial PAIN. It might be physical PAIN or a financial PAIN. Maybe you feel the PAIN of a relationship gone wrong, or the PAIN of disappointment.
We all suffer from PAIN. But the real tragedy is how it affects our spirt and our soul. For all too often PAIN causes us to feel isolated and alone, struggling with fear and doubt.
When will this PAIN end? And where is God when we need healing?
I understand, Warrior. Truly I do. I have struggled with PAIN in all these areas at some point in my life. Sometimes I turned to God. And sometimes I didn't.
But I am encouraged by our Warrior this week, who suffered from a PAIN that overwhelmed her life. Pain which had no reason, no cure, no end.
Join me today as we step into her life to learn how she found the healing power of God the moment she bravely reached for Him. And how we too can receive this relief when we need it most.

It's easy to get discouraged as we strive to stand firm in faith, when all the sudden, WHAM, trouble tramples our efforts.
I imagine that's how our Warrior, the Widow of Zarephath, felt when she risked obedience to follow the instruction of the prophet Elijah. Because even though her risk was rewarded for for a time, soon tragedy entered her life as her son became ill and died.
And, she wanted to know WHY!
I've been there too, wanting to ask the same question. Why this? Why now? Why me? Why do I have to endure this when I've trusted You, God?
Join me today as we step into this widow's life for a second look to learn 5 truths that helped STRETCH her faith, even when she asked God WHY.

It’s never easy to take advice from someone when we feel like they don’t fully understand our circumstance. And still, God will sometimes send people into our lives in order to challenge our perspective; in order to point us in a new direction. But it may just seem too risky to step out in the faith of what they suggest. So where do we place our hope? In that person, in our circumstance, or even in our own strength? Join me today as we meet a new warrior who faced such a challenge. A woman who didn’t even know the God of immeasurably more, and still He sent someone to her rescue. Yes, God saw her starving for hope and challenged her to take the risk of obedience. In this episode, we will not only witness an amazing miracle of God, but an inspiration to get our hopes up and try that something we’ve been dreaming about.

At one time or another, we have all set goals or made a resolution. But how often has that target been set on emptiness?
It's not likely that we've determined to see our bank account near zero. Or that we only hope we run out of gas on the way to work. And who wants to wake up one day to an empty house with no family or friends?
So why would we ever embrace emptiness?
I'm not going to tell you that our Warrior this week sought after lack in her life. But when she did experience it all around her, she found God in the middle of it. And boy, did He prove His faithfulness!
Join me today as we step into the life of a poor widow who shows us that our emptiness may actually be the perfect place to connect with God's power.

It can be so frustrating when we find ourself STUCK in a difficult season of life, stumbling around in its darkness, searching for any way out.
And even though we should be able to take consolation in the fact that everyone faces these seasons, when we are smack in the middle of our "stuckness," that's a hard perspective to see.
So what if, instead of being surprised by the season, we chose to expect it? What if we made a plan for our "stuckness" before it captivated us, so that we could manage better in the middle?
Then, we may just find along the way that God gives us a companion in a similar struggle... someone we can link up with to share encouragement and strength.
Join me today as we step into the life of an unexpected Warrior who was able to see past her own struggle in order to speak boldly into the life of another stuck soul.

Have you ever gotten that deep down feeling that God wants you to say, do, or be something that will make a difference for His Kingdom?
Don't you know that's exactly the moment that doubt and fear creep in, telling you that it'll never work because you're not strong enough, not smart enough, not connected enough.
Well today we are going to meet a warrior who found the courageous faith to move past those doubts and step boldly into action, saving not only one innocent life, but ours as well.
Join me as we learn how the brave Warrior, Jehosheba, teaches us that courage does not exist in absence of fear. Rather it is a calculated choice to place passion and purpose before pride, trusting God to deliver us from even our most formidable opponent.

Choices. They come flying at us every day. Big ones, little ones, difficult ones, easy ones. So how do we handle them? Do we typically follow our feelings, or simply do what we've always done? All too often, our choices become solved through habit so that we seldom contemplate the cumulative effect. I mean, sure, some choices seem simple. But pile them on top of the tough ones, and we might just topple toward tragedy. That was the legacy in the life of this week's Warrior Gone Wrong. She allowed the people, places and purpose of her past to foretell her future, leading her toward a legacy of death. And since we certainly don't want that sort of future, instead let us take advice from the One who knows our purpose better than any other. Let us learn how to stand firm in Gods’ truth, finding our way forward in a future that leaves a legacy of life!

I'm not sure why some people like surprises. Maybe this confuses me because no surprise I've experienced was ever really good. I mean, I can think of plenty of times that I was shocked, overwhelmed or taken-aback. But those have not been pleasant experiences. I'd actually consider them to be, well, more of an ambush.
You see an #ambush is defined as a surprise attack from a concealed position upon a temporarily halted target. And while it might sound like a great strategy for the ambush-er, there's nothing pleasant at all about being the ambush-ee.
So today, as we step back into the life of our Warrior Gone Wrong, Jezebel, we will study the ambush she set, not only to learn how to better spot a spiritual ambush, but how to prepare ourselves to not be surprised by it.

Who would have guessed that a king from the Old Testament suffered from FOMO? I mean, don't kings typically have wealth, power, prestige and fame? What else could they possibly want?
Turns out, FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out, isn't such a new concept. In fact, it's been a temptation of the heart and mind, since the beginning of time.
Isn't that why Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit? Didn't they fear missing out on whatever they thought God was keeping from them?
And so it was, centuries later, with King Ahab married his new wife, and our latest Warrior Gone Wrong, Jezebel.
Join me as we step into the life of this power couple to learn that finding contentment isn't about getting more stuff. Rather it's an act of FAITH that FLIPS our FOMO to face the right direction.

Warriors Gone Wrong
When we were kids, we threw the word 'friend' around like it was easy. We often considered anyone a friend, until they proved us wrong.
So why can't we be more like kids? Why is it so difficult to find a true friend... someone who will stick with us, no matter what?
Join me today as we dive into a new series, Warriors Gone Wrong. Today, we will consider the life of Delilah, discovering what strengths she had, and how she used them wrongly.
This reflection will guide us, learning how we, as Warriors, can utilize that armor of God to stand firm as a best friend.

Ever gotten that nudge deep down inside, that tells you to say or do something for someone? At first it seems like an interesting idea. But then, when you take the time to ponder it, you begin to believe it's ridiculous.
So, what do you do with it? Do you boldly follow through, no matter your opinion of it? Or do you let your logic win, dowsing the desire and burying it beneath the other things you’d rather do?
Well thank goodness for the bold and brave behavior of our Warrior, Huldah. She was a woman, who when called upon by God, got the job done.
Join me as we step into the Old Testament for a look at the lessons she has to teach us about how to LISTEN and OBEY.

They say that two heads are better than one. So why do our struggles within marriage sometimes complicate our communication?
Could it be that using our head may not be the best resource to find our way through difficult times? Could it be that we would be better off being led by our heart… or better yet, our spirit?
Join me today, as we step into the life of a Warrior Wife who had to dig deep for the faith needed to survive the struggle. This Warrior shows us, not only to put our trust in God, but also displays a variety of vital virtues in her marriage which we would be wise to emulate.
This is the life of Noah’s wife, a Warrior who wielded her weapons well!

Do you ever hesitate to pray a bold request because you're not quite sure it'll get answered? Have you prayed before with great hope, only to be disappointed because you never got a clear answer?
You're not alone, Warrior! All of us, if we're honest, struggle with prayer. Because there's no certainty in it, even if we truly believe that God hears us. And while we sometimes wish it were, prayer is not magic wand that makes all our requests comes true.
So what should we do when our prayer goes unanswered?
That's the question I believe our Warrior of the week helps answer for us as we step into her life. We will witness how she responded after she got a personal audience with Jesus, and still found her request unfulfilled.
Join me as we discover how Salome handled her unanswered prayer.
If you enjoyed today's episode about the bold request of Salome, you're likely to also enjoy the following posts: How to Prepare for Your Answered Prayer Ep.022, 3 Keys to Becoming a Powerful Prayer Warrior Ep.045, and 7 Key Insights for Effective Prayers.

We live in a FREE country, so why is it that many of us are still in bondage?
Seriously, do you feel FREE all the time? Or do you, like me, get stuck in your emotions, stuck in others opinions, stuck in circumstance due to someone else's actions?
The Bible tells us that "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)
So why do we, as believers feel burdened, if Jesus offers this freedom? Could it be that we can talk about it, quote scripture and have head knowledge of freedom, but never fully embrace what Jesus died to give us?
Join me as we step back into the life of Mary Magdalene to learn how she embraced this freedom, showing us how a true Warrior wears all the pieces of armor God gives!

Struggles make life HARD!
It's been said that if you're not currently in the middle of one, you most likely just came out of one, or have a struggle headed your way.
That's not said to make you cringe, as it's just part of life. But, if we want to do more than just survive these struggles, we need a new mindset... a fresh perspective about them.
Join me today as we step into the life of Mary Magdalene for the first in a series on her life as a Warrior. I believe you will find fresh insights and encouragement for your faith, no matter what your struggle.

It's easy to talk about our #faith when things are good in the everyday circumstances of our life. But just your dip our toe into the shallows of end times prophecy, and suddenly all sorts of insecurities and fears bubble up.
But that's no reason to be ashamed, because complicated prophecies can unnerve even the most studied of Bible scholar.
So today, as we head into the book of Revelation for the last episode in our series about on God as a Warrior, I want to encourage you that we are sticking to the basics and focusing on only one passage which describes Him.
This episode is purposed to give you three concrete reasons NOT to fear all that is unknown about this book of prophecy. In fact, I believe God wants to encourage us to look forward to what is to come, knowing that our EverLASTing Warrior plans to lead us into victory.
Join me today, as we learn who He is, how He battles, and what our part is with Him.

You've most likely heard that God will fight your battles. But how exactly does that happen? I mean, if God is loving and kind, how can He also be a Warrior engaging in battle?
You've got to admit that since we all have our own sorts of battles, it would be nice to believe that God was on our side and actually went to war for us, right?
So if that's what we choose to believe, what exactly is our part? What are we supposed to do until the war is over? And how exactly can we build our faith to believe all this spiritual warfare stuff?
Well, today on the podcast we will look at the Warrior side of God learning not only, how we can trust Him with the victory, but what we are to do in the meantime.

Join me as we step into the life of Jesus, the greatest Warrior who ever lived, as I lead you through some of the fiercest battles He fought. Not only that, but we'll learn more about each piece of the armor as Jesus demonstrates how to wield it well.

Would you say you’re living a blessed life? Do you believe that even a life with trouble CAN be blessed? Or do you struggle to compare YOUR troubles with OTHER'S triumphs.
I totally get it, Warrior! Lately I've encountered some trouble that caused me to get stuck in my feelings rather than stay focused on God. But as He began to teach me about our Warrior this week, I learned to stand firm, fully receiving the blessing He desired to give.
Won't you join me today as we step into the life of one of the most famous Warrior women, Mary the Mother of Jesus, to learn how you too can fully receive and live in God's blessing!

What are you passionate about, Warrior? Is it something you are able to speak boldly about, no matter the audience? Or, do you ever hesitate, considering whether the opinion of others might drown you out and take things in a different direction?
Sometimes it can be hard to speak boldly about our faith when we try to please everyone. Which is why today’s lesson from our Warrior Elizabeth is so refreshing.
Join me as we step one last time into her life to learn how she boldly spoke the will and the word of the Lord.

Have you struggled lately, wondering why you don't sense the power of God in your life? Do you see others who seem to be on fire for Him, but don't understand how to get there? Or do you just doubt that the Holy Spirit can really fill you, really empower you, really guide and help you?
Don't worry. It's totally normal to have these doubts. I've experienced all of them myself. That's why I'm so excited to share with you this Warrior's life story!
Join me as we step back into the life of Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist and cousin to Mary. This Warrior was definitely one of those women who found a way to connect deeply and directly with God. And if she were here today, she'd encourage you to hang in there because it's not as hard as you think.
Today, we will learn what she did to maintain and nurture this amazing power within. There is no magic to it. No secret potion to drink. No ritual to follow. Simply relax as you listen to how God desires to bless you with His presence and how you can receive the power of the Holy Spirit for yourself!

What is it that you have been waiting for, Warrior?
What is the DEEPEST DESIRE of your heart? Do you have a fire that burns down deep, causing you to pursue a DREAM? Or maybe your dream has been put on the back burner, causing you to wonder if it will ever become a reality?
Was there a dream in your heart you used to pray to about? Have you gotten discouraged with the long wait for God to move in your life?
Have you ever wondered if maybe God changed His mind, or that you just heard Him wrong because it hasn't happened yet?
Then lean in, Warrior! Because today we will be stepping into the life of a Warrior who likely felt the same. But thank God, she didn't put down her shield of faith!
Today we will look deeper to discover the 3 KEY concepts our Warrior, Elzabeth put to use which kept her steady on a path to her purpose.

How do you react when someone steps in the middle of your plans, threatening to mess up all you're believing for?
Do you immediately speak up, defending your rights? What about the rights of others around you? Do you feel the same way when it happens to those you barely know?
Often, it can be hard to know when to speak up and when to wait it out. And even when the time is right, sometimes it can be difficult to know the best way to tackle the task?
Join me today as we explore the lives of some sister Warriors who faced a great challenge to their future. Through this episode, I'm believing you will be enlightened, giving you wisdom to step forward in the faith of a Warrior the next time you need to speak up.

Do you ever struggle to consider yourself a Warrior? Do you wonder if you have the right mix of qualities for that title, when you can’t seem to manage the turmoil and trouble swirling about in your life?
What if that's the EXACT thing which qualifies you to step forward and realize the warrior within?
Join me today as we continue to journey through the life of Bathsheba, to discover the 7 qualities she developed, proving herself a Warrior.
This is a fresh perspective for us to better understand our trouble and how to stand firm in our faith through it.

Have you ever been TAKEN out of context? You know, judged wrongly by just a few words or a simple action? It can be so hard to get past when others don't understand the truth of who we really are.
And that's what our Warrior Bathsheba experienced for years. Not just when she was alive, but even now, centuries after her death. So today, we are going to head straight to the FACTS; exactly what the Bible says about her, and what it does not say.
Join me as we consider the truth that even tragedy can turn out for good.

It's easy enough to talk about battles when times are good. But when trials come, the struggle to find faith-filled words often leaves us muttering complaints.
So why not prepare? Why not take some lessons in a FAITH that's CONTAGIOUS from a Warrior who understood what true victory is all about.
Join me as we step into the life of Deborah, the Prophetess, who was not only used to the many roles we women take on, but also spoke powerful words that led a nation to victory. She did not let the others lack of faith or negativity sway her. Nor was she overcome by pride so that she missed her purpose.
Let's settle in and learn as much from this Warrior as we can. But most importantly, how to speak the contagious faith we need when the battles become most fierce.

Wise Warrior Women aren't necessarily the ones who stand out in a crowd all dressed up like Wonder Woman. In fact, if they're truly wise, they aren't looking to gain everyone's attention as they have weightier battles to win.
Join me in this episode of theWarriorSHE podcast as we step into the life of one wise woman who showed herself a Warrior by stopping the force of an entire army and preserving peace for her people.
And as we study her words and actions, we can learn 5 essential qualities which we can also develop in our lives.

You were created for influence, Warrior! Yes, you!
And don't discount yourself because you're not in the public eye or in some uber fantastic job. Because God can use your influence starting with the smallest of choices you make.
Yes, God can and will use you for influence in all your relationships as you make right choices to honor Him. But how do we do that? And how will we know when it's happening?
Join me as we step into the life of the Warrior, Zipporah who may have asked those same questions. And together let's watch how God unfolds this mystery through the oddest of circumstances.

Do you ever hunger for real romance? Ever desire to be wooed and wowed by someone willing to make a fool of themselves, all for the sake of love?
I think we’d all raise our hands to that request. I mean, who wouldn’t want a little extra attention in the middle of this distracted culture we live in today?
So let me invite you to step back in time; back to the days of Ruth. Because I believe that here, in this third and final episode on this Warrior, you will find she has some good advice for us. But not just empty words. For she lived a life of example, demonstrating three essential actions which opened the door for her to receive the real romance of her redeemer.

Have you ever mustered up a compliment for someone who did something you only WISH you could do? Only for them to blow you off... giving an excuse that kept them from receiving the words you literally offered as a sacrifice to your pride?
I have. And it rubbed me the wrong way, made me jealous; got under my skin and irritated that competitive side in me I try so hard to squash. It made me want to back up, and draw up a list of my excuses so I could get away with some stuff I have yet to accomplish. Or better yet, I felt I now had a reason why I could rightfully exclude them from my circle of influence.
But that’s clearly not what God would have us do in pursuit of our purpose. Which is why I believe God put so heavy on my heart this lesson from the life of Ruth; this Word of God which convicted me so sorely.
So if you’ll join me as we step back into the real life story of Ruth, I’ll highlight two bad habits to avoid, and one good habit which will lead us toward God’s best so that we can be overcomers, encouraging and lifting others out of their excuses as well!
What's more...
Wait patiently for the Lord.Be brave and courageous.Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.Psalm 27:14 NLT

Do you struggle, Warrior, with relationships that seem to take more than they give? With people who aren't as reliable as you'd hoped for?
You're not alone. Even though that's the whispered doubt you hear on repeat. God has a better plan, Warrior; a better purpose for those He weaves into the fabric of your life. We just need to trust that His way is greater and find a way to INVITE and INCLUDE Him in those relationships for them to work.
Join me today as we journey into the lives of two Warriors who show us three key ways to do just that! Naomi and Ruth are prime examples of Warriors who understood difficulty. But because they chose to struggle well together, trusting in God as their source, they stepped into blessing and beyond.

In honor of the 50th episode of The Warrior SHE podcast we are gathering together with the 20 Warrior Women who have shared their life stories with us, demonstrating so well the strength and faith it takes to stand firm in full armor, facing their battles head on.
For some of us (ahem… that’s me) it’s hard to stop and celebrate your wins. Somehow, I get this icky feeling like I’m doing something selfish or wrong. But in this episode I’ll share how God moved me past that and showed me what triumph is truly about.
This, to be honest, has to be one of my FAVORITE episodes so far! And don’t worry, while it’s a milestone, it certainly won’t be my last. In fact, it’s just FIRED me up for next season.
So if you’re new to The Warrior SHE, or if you’ve missed a Warrior or two along the way, this will be an especially GREAT way to hear a tidbit about each of the 20 we celebrate today.
And if you want to dig deeper into any of their stories, you can check out the Episode 50 blog post on my website where I’ve got links to each Warrior with her individual podcast or series.
So if you’re ready, Warrior… Let’s get this party started!

Have you ever known that person who seemed to live a charmed life?
Remember that girl high school you hung around who seemed to always get her way? Like the time she got so lucky, making an A on that test she forgot to study for? Or how she ALWAYS had the cutest boyfriend and everyone was so jealous?
Or maybe you had a brother or sister who was that all-star athlete… the one who brought home all the trophies? Or were they the one with the perfect GPA, who got into the best college? How did that make you feel? Did you compare yourself to them whether your parents spoke it out loud, or not?
Was it ever hard for you NOT to criticize your popular friend or sucessful sibling? To not to feel LESS than, or wonder why YOU always had to struggle when THEY always seemed to ride high on the EASY road?
I have a pretty good feeling that’s EXACTLY how Miriam began to feel as she stood anywhere near Moses during those first few years after leaving Egypt.
To her, he must have seemed like the one who lived that charmed life. I mean, think about it. He never knew slavery like she and Aaron had. Then after he was accused of murdering an Egyptian, he escaped that charge and ran off to live in Midian, meeting a wife and raising a family.
And all those years later, when he appointed lead the people out of Israel... to be the one in charge, maybe Miram still thought of him as the baby of the family… the one she helped save out of the Nile. Hardly seems fair, huh?
So maybe when she and Aaron got a few moments alone they commiserated. What's the harm in that, right?
But is it possible for that to become a habit? Can a routine of speaking negative words lead us into a life not so desirable... one without wisdom and peace.
Join me today as we conclude this series on our Warrior Miriam, as we step into what was quite possibly the most difficult part of her life This is certain to show us more of the wisdom of God!

There’s something you need to do! You know it. You've sensed it for quite a while now, but you just keep putting it off. And now when you lay in bed at night, you can't turn off the thought. It weighs heavy on your heart and you see it around every corner. So... what are you waiting for?
Could it be that you're just feeling too unsteady in your faith right now? That what you're challenged with seems more like a leap than simply a step of faith? Has it been a while since you did something that scared you? Do you wonder how it's done, anymore?
Maybe you've just gotten to a place in life where things have become manageable and you simply don't want to rock the boat; don't want to seem like a weirdo who starts over because of some radical expression of your beliefs.
But still, if you only knew what was on the other side of this challenge. If you could only be reassured that the sense you have of a life more thrilling, more fulfilling, more daring, was only one decision away… you might just say, 'YES!'
So you hang on to hesitation with one hand; a tethered rope that leads you from one comfortable landing place to the next. But one day you say, you'll go there... that firm place called FAITH. Because right now you're not quite sure how to define it. So, you put it off... again. I mean after all, isn't it too just hard to go there now?
Actually, Warrior today would be the perfect day. I'm not saying you have to take you're big leap right now. But let me at least help you understand FAITH a little better. Let me help you learn a little more about how it's built over time. After all, what are you waiting for?
If you join me today on the podcast, we are going to step back into the life of Miriam and consider the things she had to face that built her faith... that gave her a firm foundation when she needed it most!

Remember when you were a kid and it was easier to dream, to imagine, to be curious about the future? Before you were filled with all the doubts, fears and responsibilities that come with adulting. Did you have a vision of one day becoming someone fantastic... someone famous, someone who could take on the world? What happened to that kid? What happened to that dream?
On today's podcast, we are going to honor that dream as we explore the life of a young Warrior who would one day see her dreams come true. Her life began as just an ordinary slave girl who was willing to step into an unusual place of obedience. And if you'll join me on this journey, I believe you'll realize, as she did, that we are often standing right on the edge of our purpose and we don't even know it.
This is episode 1 of 3, in a series on our Warrior Miriam. And as we step into her life, I believe you'll discover that the dream you've buried deep inside is often part of your purpose. Won't you enter in this exploration with me?

What is conflict? To me, it's that sticky, gooey place where my feet hesitate to tread. That dark and spooky forest filled with low hanging offenses where I tend to bump my feelings, then carry them with me for far too long. It's a place I avoid for fear I won't be able to wrangle my anger in the middle where those sharp and pointy words tend to fly forward, harming the very ones I love most.
Have you been there? Do you visit often? Some I've heard enjoy the trip... see it as an amusement park, a joy ride, pointing fingers and riding high on the rollercoaster of pride and insecurity of others.
But I've heard tell there's this special spot. You have to nail it down right there in the middle. It's kind of a tricky thing to get there, but I know a warrior who can take us. Her name is Abigail and she knows the way. I'm going there today and you could come with me if you want.
The way Abigail tells it, in the middle, conflict can be resolved. In the middle conflict isn't so bad. In the middle, peace can be found. But ou have to meet... even when it's hard... right there in the middle.
Will you join me... and Abigail, of course... in the middle?

Do you ever struggle to pray? Do you believe that other people have more 'influence' with God than you do?
Prayer can be a tricky thing. We can’t hold it, can’t see it, can’t measure it… but still we wonder if it works. We often hear others boast about the answers they get from God… so why is it so elusive to us?
What if I were to tell you that it’s not a magical power that only some people have, but actually a simple conversation with God letting Him know what’s on your heart.
And what if I could hand you the keys that would open the door for you to become a Warrior, who not only understands the power of prayer, but learns to enjoy it as well?
Today's episode is all about prayer and how to understand it better. Join me as we step into the life of the least likely Prayer Warrior, to learn what it's really like to AIM our prayers in the right direction.

Are you lonely? Do you feel as though no one fully understands what you're going through? I'll admit, I often struggle with feelings like that. In fact, on today's podcast, I share a recent snapshot of my life where I became trapped in such a pit. It wasn't pretty, but it sure gave me a better perspective on the life of our Warrior this week.
She is an unlikely choice. But I truly believe we can learn a great deal from her life, and the circumstances which surrounded her. Join me as we step into the world of Potiphar's Wife. Yes, that's right... the same woman who falsely accused Joseph, causing his imprisonment.
You won't want to skip this one! It gets to the gritty reality of what can happen when we become wallowers instead of Warriors! Plus I'll give some insight as to what we tend to grab onto during the lonely times and encouragement as to how to get out of the pit.

Don't you just hate it when you go to the trouble of lining all your little ducks neatly in a row... when you've made your plans, set your mind and you're ready for all the success that's due you... Then WHAM, out of nowhere you find yourself face down in the dirt with the wind knocked clean out of you?
And it's all because some so-and-so took a little yank on the corner of your rug. Maybe it got under their foot. Maybe they overstepped their boundaries. Who knows why they decided to interfere in your life but there's no going back. After the name-calling started, there's no gathering the little ducklings that have now scattered.
You've been labeled a loser and now you're left lonely in a heap on the hard, dirty ground. This wasn't part of the plan. This isn't at all how its' supposed to be.
You want to cry, "UNFAIR," but no one's listening as they all walk by in their own messy, mixed up lives.
So where do you go? How do you recover? What's next for those of us who feel labeled and less-than when we don't get to finish what we started?
I have some answers to those and a few other questions... if you'll join me as we take a look at the life of a Warrior who went through something just like this!
Her name is Rahab, the harlot. Yep, her label stuck. (Even got printed in the best seller of all times.) But amazingly, she didn't allow life's unfortunate circumstances become a reason to stay stuck in the dirt.
Let's take a peek into her life and learn how God actually does work all things... even the rug-pulling kind of things... for good.

Where do you stand with your identity, Warrior? Do you struggle as I do feeling as though you’ve got it all nailed down, only to turn around tempted to compete with HER? She’s the one who just posted that quick pic at the airport with a prayer request for safe travels as she and the hubs take a little getaway to Tuscany. But I bet you’re above all that social media junk and it doesn't get to you. So what if when you get to work, you see that new girl heading up the project you’ve had your eye on for three months? Then the pain hits a little closer to home and you ask yourself, 'Why HER... the one who always flirts with the boss and gets her way?' Doesn’t hard work pay off anymore? So should you change jobs? Or is it going to be this way everywhere? Never fear, Warrior, Leah felt exactly the same way! Whether it was jealousy over romance flaunted in her face or always getting passed over, Leah took the hits. But today we honor her as our Warrior because she not only faced these same issues with identity, she finally figured out how to handle them. Join me as we step into the life of Leah and her sister-wife, Rachel, who battled it out for the love and affection of one man. This true life story certainly got pretty messy with manipulation but thankfully we find a Warrior who took the higher ground to show us how to stand firm and step away from hungry people and empty places.

Have you ever wanted a peek into the future? Thought, "If only I could see past my current struggle, THEN I'd have the courage to muster on!"
Well, today's Warrior got just that! Join me as we step into her life and watch events unfold to see how she reacts. Unfortuantely this is a story of one who wandered off her purposed path a bit too far when she abandons wisdom and waiting. But we can still learn from her missteps, and see how easily we too might misinterpret the will of God, falling into the trap of manipulation.
This is certainly a tricky trap, Warrior that we don't want to fall into. Join me today as we #realizetheWarriorwithin and learn how the Warrior SHE can remain faithful to do the will of God.

Do you wonder which direction to go? Are you on a journey toward the unknown? Wanting to please God, but uncertain as to where, when or how?
It can be such a daunting task for Warriors who want to win for the glory of God.
Have you ever asked for a sign from Him... sometimes afraid that maybe you're pushing it a bit too far? Well, don't Warrior! I'm here to encourage you. I'm here to spur you on; to let you know that it's ok to ask. God wants to show you the way! He does not want us stumbling around trying to figure it out on our own.
Join me today as we journey back to the days of Rebekah as she crosses paths with a Warrior servant at the well of her father. This beautiful encounter is a God appointed moment made in heaven to reassure them both that they are on the right path toward their destinies. Not only were their prayers answered here, but we can learn how ours can be as well.
Follow these 5 Steps for Successful Warriors I have outlined as you step out in faith, seeking the same connection... the same confirmed sign for your purpose and gain confidence in your journey!
This is certain to be time well spent, Warrior!

What has persuaded you to look for a podcast today? Something is always stirring inside... causing us to seek after, to dig deeper, to long for more. So what is it we are pursuing? Purpose? Power? Passion? Persuasion? Do we know what causes us to believe? What causes us to question… to move forward into something risky or new? Do we trust others with our hearts and dreams... even gathering together, creating forces bigger than ourselves? Join me today as we step into the life of a Warrior who does not disappoint as she persuades us with the passion of yielded heart. This is the beginning of understanding FAITH… this is the cyclical passion of persuasion.

You're facing a battle today, Warrior. How do I know? Because I'm facing one too. Some battles are the ones we choose. Some are thrust upon us. But all too often we find ourselves standing in the middle of an open field, defenseless and wandering, alone and scared, wondering what to do next. No one wants to be unprepared with flaming arrows flying at you; words that sting like daggers to the heart... especially when you are desperately trying to do the right thing. Why all the judgment? Why does it matter to them? Come with me today, Warrior. Just for a little bit. I won't waste your time, I promise. Step back in time to the life of Mary, our Warrior of the week. She knows just how we feel. All she wanted to do was be kind and offer her best. Then 'they' began to throw words of shame her way, assaulting her with their worst. Let's learn together how to handle these types of battles. Let's try to understand what Mary did well. Let's learn how she was BRAVE in the middle of a battle she never saw coming.

How do you face true loss? Where do you turn when you're in the middle of a messy mourning? People stand around you at a funeral trying to give their comfort, which is kind, but that never quite fills the gap that death leaves behind. So how can we find comfort that truly measures up?
Join me while we sit with Martha and Mary as they mourn the death of Lazarus. Even though their brother was raised to life that day and it's likely our relative will not be... let's see if we can still find... READ MORE

Do you remember when believing in something fantastical was fun? Before we had to grow up. Before we began to reason and believe every thought that came flying into our mind... overthinking, worrying, and fearing the worst. Isn't there a way to turn back time? To just live simply and believe again? Join me today as we step back into the life of the sisters, Mary and Martha of Bethany. My hope for us is that as we listen and learn we can take away a message that will revive us. That will help us remember how to have a childlike faith again. It’s not that these sisters didn’t have difficult times or face anything hard. In fact, they faced tragedy and did it alone and seemingly in silence. But that’s exactly why I believe we can learn from them. Because they proved to be Warriors who waited well… women who learned the beauty of a simple prayer. Won’t you join me in this? It’s a short listen with a big impact. And then I have three fun ways to put this into action… more details on that at the end of the podcast.

I've been gone quite a while in battle. Waging war in a dark and narrow place I never intended to spend my days. Was it a battle I chose to fight… one I believed in? Was I marching off to war eager and determined to defeat an enemy I despised? Absolutely not. Honestly, I felt duped into it; tricked and deceived. I had no idea that I was headed off to war, cutting myself off from the calling I believed at one time was my purposed and true path in life. And I certainly never expected to find myself in the pit; that deep dark place of trouble. I never planned to cry out in regret wishing I could do that one day over again; wishing I could take back that little three letter word I spoke aloud at just the wrong moment... READ MORE

Why do we take on so much, Warrior?
Are you also feeling overwhelmed and alone
standing in the middle of a mess...
wondering if anyone really knows
all the noise that pounds out
in no certain rhythm...
that dull drumming which drowns out
every logical thought you once had?
And does anyone even care?
Surely someone will step in and help!
But there we find ourselves, lonely and swaying in the middle of all those swirling, twirling thoughts... just like MindStorm that Martha also suffered. What are we to do? And we've heard that Jesus is near, but how can that be? For surely IF He cared, this would not be happening!
When will I get my sanity back, when will... READ MORE..

Have you ever watched someone else worship? Wondered, 'What in the world is REALLY going on inside?' Like... are they faking it, or is there a real connection with God going on? Because it seems that there are so many different styles of worship, it's hard to know.
Have you ever been jealous of someone's faith, or frustrated that you can't seem to find a faith of your own? Because, I had tried to believe for so long. I did everything I thought you were supposed to do. I followed all the rules, crossed all the T's and dotted all the i's. But it just didn't seem to take. And honestly, for a long time, I wondered what could possibly be so exciting about going to church and how could anyone want to read such a boring book called the Bible?
So if I got to ask Jesus ONE THING it would have been, "Why did you make religion so hard?" Because back then, that's exactly what it was for me... hard work. It was this added struggle heaped on top of my already too long To-Do List, which never got done anyway. So it just made me feel worse about myself, hating the churchy people even more.
But the I met Mary, and after watching her interact with her Little Lamb, I got to thinking...READ MORE...

Have you ever wanted so much to escape the bondage of something that you can barely breathe? Have you ever wished so badly for freedom that it aches down to the bone? It's almost as if we can taste it; that idea of being truly able to do as we wish, run wildly, the wind in our hair, the sun at our back, the wide open spaces we need to spread our wings and soar.
It almost seems a mystery, this thing called freedom. Because we envy it in others who we believe may be experiencing it. When in fact, that may only be a mirage; while we ourselves are standing only a few steps away from it. And if we allow our heart to be tripped and tangled by the deceit of offense, we will continue to wander in the wilderness of our past, and never fully experience God's gift of true freedom and fulfilled purpose.
So how can we be free of those chains which enslave us to fear? How can we get past the offense of... READ MORE...

Lately, I've been tempted to run right out the door. Not because I'm late, but just because I almost can't take it anymore. My to-do list has become a two-pager and I can't juggle high enough to keep everything in the air. Something is always being forgotten or apologized for. And favors and promises no longer feel generous, but rather heavy like burdens I'm obligated to keep in order to compete with everyone else.
I know I can't be the only one who wants to find a sledge hammer and cry foul as I whack away at these shackles which hold me down. How on earth did I become a slave to my own life? No one else did this to me... but me.
So imagine my surprise when I met someone else who knew my grief? A woman who had actually been a slave herself, yet suffered much worse. So I took the time to walk and talk with her. And today on the podcast, the Warrior SHE will show us a new way to live... a new way to break free from this bondage.
I'd love for you to join me, as we learn together how to find....READ MORE...

Do you ever get stuck like me... a Captive of Comparison? Do you have an inner Inspector who secretly searches for flaws? Or did you outgrow her in Middle School? I often wish I left that little girl behind, until I see someone across the room; that Got-it-all-together Girl who I secretly wish might trip and fall just this once. I mean, if I can't BE her, in her crowd, or on her social feed, then what's the harm?
Sorry, sometimes my wall-flower-never-fit-in loneliness of the past still sneaks up on me, launching a label into the crowd. But it does make me feel bad later. Especially when I realize that I'm supposed to be the one linking shields with other women... all women... even her.
And that's the perspective we need to take on as we step into the life of a different kind of Warrior this week. She's not one I ever expected to feature... READ MORE...

Righteousness... it sounds like such a religious word. Ever wonder why the only people who seem to talk about it hang out in church? Or why this word alone can bring a light-hearted conversation to a screeching halt? Rather than throwing a definition at you which seldom helps, I invite you to join me as we step into the life of a Warrior who will SHOW us a picture of righteousness. And after you see the restoration in her life, you will be enlightened as to why we not only would want it, but how we can easily be blessed by it. In this third and last episode of our series on the Shunemite Woman, you will be amazed by what God reveals about the Breastplate of Righteousness. This is sure to make it easier for us to PUT ON the full armor of God helping us not only win battles, but also guide our steps out of distress and into success as we #realizetheWarriorwithin.

When the trouble of life finds us, we often want to run. But which way? Because it's so easy to get lost in our anxiety, in our fear of the future, in all the thoughts which scream, "Not Again!"
To run is a normal reaction. I mean, who wants to wrestle once more with what has worn us out before?
Step with me into the life of the Shunemite woman as we learn how she dealt with disaster. She did not run away from it. Nor did she let the push-back of the enemy discourage her. Rather she was quickened into the very presence of God and fell humbly before Him, heaping the weight of her burdens on Him.
Realize hope with me as we see this woman on the other side of her pain. Listen as she discovers that the right route to peace. This woman is a true Warrior who gained strength in the battle as she stood firm, girded fully by God's truth.

Remember when you were a kid and your grade-school teacher firmly scolded, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?” While most of us got the idea as we grew up, it would seem that many of us never considered applying this rule inwardly. We may be cautious to not bully others, so why do we do it to ourselves? Join me as we step back into the life of the Shunemite woman of the Old Testament as she has much to teach us about the weight of our words when difficult times arise. I believe this will open your eyes to the extra load we lug around which often keeps us from all God has for us. Don't miss a single episode as you realize theWarriorSHE within!

What is worship? True worship, Jesus tells us is desired by God. But with so many different churches and religious influences today, how do I know what God truly desires... or if I'm just going through the motions?
Join me today as the Woman@theWell connects with Jesus to discover this truth. Listen as she opens her heart to move beyond what burdens, and steps into the purpose of influence God had for her all along. No longer held back by doubt and shame, watch as this woman takes up her armor and realizes the warrior within!

Walling ourself off from people because we fear their rejection or opinion makes for a very lonely life. But honestly, it doesn't quiet the whispers of doubt inside.
Step into the life of today's Warrior who was challenged to take the focus off of herself and consider the healing gifts of a stranger. I believe you'll be moved by the honesty and clarity of how transparent Jesus can be, as He compassionately persues the Woman at the Well.

Are you prepared for the answer to your biggest prayer? Do you have everything all lined up and ready for God to show up? Or have you lost confidence in prayer, only giving a half-hearted effort because things just seem too impossible?
Whether you're a prayer warrior or a prayer worry-er, it can be difficult to press through the middle and wait on God's answer, when nothing changes. So what do we do after the Amen?
Join me today for our last walk with our Warrior Esther, as she shows how to have courageous faith, not only in her prayer, but in her actions after. Let's put together a plan to pursue victory over our biggest battles, even when we are face to face with our enemy.

We STAND in line, STAND for up for beliefs, and STAND in for someone not available. But does standing actually do us any good? I mean, why stand when you can sit, right?
I would argue that if you're a Warrior, posture very much matters. In fact, that's exactly what our Warrior of the Week, Esther teaches us. For she had to get the attention of someone in power, someone with authority, someone who could help her in her purpose.
But she wasn't the only one standing. Join me today for a look into the life of Esther as we discover the purpose and power of STANDing, and how you can see victory in life battles if you will hold that posture.
And the Warrior... SHE stood dressed and ready, even when she didn't feel like it.

When things aren't working out quite like we planned, it's easy to doubt if God is really paying attention. Unfairness peeks its ugly head out just when we are getting it together. So what on earth CAN we depend upon? And where can we find security? That's the kind of circumstance in which our Warrior, Esther found herself. She could have seen all as unfair and rebelled. But instead we witness her time, and time again putting on what God has given... even when it doesn't make sense. Even when it challenges her to risk her life.

Even when we feel most powerless in the circumstances of life, there is hope. Join me as we learn from Esther to realize the Warrior within. We will take a look at her life from a different perspective. Not as a victim, but as purposed and planned by God.
As we step into her life, we can find traces and trails of God which clearly gave her courage and strength in the battle. She was taken by the king, no longer free to live a life of her own, but basically enslaved.
Have you been there? Powerless to gain a grasp on the swirling struggle all about you? Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. Learn from one who has not only survived, but learned to thrive even in a hopeless situation.

Would you describe yourself as an influencer or as one influenced?
Has anyone ever inspired you with their bold choice of integrity? Have you ever gained truth by just living in presence of a wise soul? It could be that they are bravely representing the TRUTH of God and that the goodness in their life has spilled over onto you.
Join me as we step one last time into the life of Hannah to learn how she not only made brave choices, but held firmly to the foundations of God's truth. Learn what it means to be, "girded" with the Belt of Truth, described in Ephesians as the first piece of the Armor of God.
Challenge yourself to write the TRUTHS of God which you can take as your own foundation, ushering blessings of goodness not only into your own life, but those around you.

How do you know when FAITH is real? I mean, what happens when you FEEL it one day, but not the next? Does that mean we are failing at FAITH? Fear and doubts creep in... and while we are waiting, we begin to wonder if we are on the right track with God.

Here we will see what they did to get through one of the most difficult sacrifices; one that would take everything they had hoped for. Welcome to the Warrior SHE...

This to be sure will STRETCH you as we step into the tent where Sarah LAUGHED.
And I don't believe she was wrong, nor scolded for doing so. This was her first act of HOPE which led her out of a barren place.
If you join me in this tent you may just FIND your FATIH! But please don't let length of this one deter you. FAITH may be as a mustard seed to some, but it takes a few more words to explain. This to be certain is ESSENTIAL. For if we don't know what FAITH IS, how can we pick up a shield called FAITH? How can we become Warriors and BRAVE all those barren places, armed and armored, without our SHIELD of FAITH?
Listen to what Sarah will show us... in the tent.

Join me as we consider the question, Why Eve? What made her so temptable? And why is it that we need to look to the tree of temptation, the one which makes promises it never keeps? Why is it that we rush back to the dealer of doubt, wondering and waiting for something better? What she found in the fruit didn't satisfy so what can we do do avoid the temptation and find what we hunger for?

Don't you hate it when someone won't stop talking about themselves? Ugh! Well that's what kept me from posting this yesterday. It's two stories tied together that I truly felt compelled to tell... not flattering, about me, which teach us how to receive God's good gifts as Warriors. We will never be WHO He called us to be, until we receive all He has to give.

Join me today as we talk about what it means to to properly put on the Armor of God. It should be knit within us so that it cannot be taken off… sinking into us, as part of our soul. This is the confidence Christ desires we accept daily as part of our inner being and what it means to be “in Christ."

Don't you just hate it when you go to the trouble of lining all your little ducks neatly in a row... when you've made your plans, set your mind and you're ready for all the success that's due you... Then WHAM, out of nowhere you find yourself face down in the dirt with the wind knocked clean out of you?
And it's all because some so-and-so took a little yank on the corner of your rug. Maybe it got under their foot. Maybe they overstepped their boundaries. Who knows why they decided to interfere in your life but there's no going back. After the name-calling started, there's no gathering the little ducklings that have now scattered.
You've been labeled a loser and now you're left lonely in a heap on the hard, dirty ground. This wasn't part of the plan. This isn't at all how its' supposed to be.
You want to cry, "UNFAIR," but no one's listening as they all walk by in their own messy, mixed up lives.
So where do you go? How do you recover? What's next for those of us who feel labeled and less-than when we don't get to finish what we started?
I have some answers to those and a few other questions... if you'll join me as we take a look at the life of a Warrior who went through something just like this!
Her name is Rahab, the harlot. Yep, her label stuck. (Even got printed in the best seller of all times.) But amazingly, she didn't allow life's unfortunate circumstances become a reason to stay stuck in the dirt.
Let's take a peek into her life and learn how God actually does work all things... even the rug-pulling kind of things... for good.
