In this powerful and honest episode, I share about the hard moments in life that shake our faith, and shares the scriptures that gave me strength during my cancer journey. If you’ve ever asked, “Where is God in this?” or felt like you’re drowning in fear, doubt, or heartbreak—this episode is your lifeline.

You’ll learn:

• Bible verses that anchor your soul in times of fear, weakness, and heartbreak
• How real people in scripture endured trials and saw God show up
• Practical steps to apply God's Word when you’re overwhelmed
• The truth about spiritual warfare and how to suit up in the Armor of God

Isaiah 41:10 – God is with you. He strengthens, helps, and upholds.

2 Corinthians 12:9 – His grace is enough. His power shines in your weakness.

Psalm 34:18 – He is close to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed.

Romans 8:28 – God works ALL things for the good of those who love Him.

When crisis hits, “just trust God” can feel like a cliché—but what you really need is truth to fight with. That’s where spiritual armor comes in. You are in a battle, and God has already given you what you need to stand.

• Belt of Truth – Hold everything together with what God says, not what the world says.
• Breastplate of Righteousness – Guard your heart. You are covered in Christ’s righteousness, not your performance.
• Shoes of Peace – Stand firm, grounded in peace even when everything shakes.
• Shield of Faith – Block the fiery lies and doubts the enemy throws at you.
• Helmet of Salvation – Protect your mind. Remember who you are and whose you are.
• Sword of the Spirit – This is the Word of God—your weapon. Speak it, pray it, live it.

• Write these scriptures where you’ll see them daily.
• Speak them out loud when fear creeps in.
• Don’t try to muscle through—lean on the One who never fails.
• Worship is warfare. Let truth be louder than fear.

You are not alone. Your weakness is not a disqualification—it’s where God shows up. Even in the fire, He is working for your good.

“When you feel like you can’t do this, remember: He already did.”
