The shield of faith may seem like one of the most obvious pieces of the Armor of God. A shield protects you. Faith protects you. Simple enough. But in Ephesians 6, Paul says something more specific. The shield of faith doesn’t just block the arrows. It extinguishes them. So why…
Season 4 of My Question for You: Wisdom for Your Walk continues with SUITED UP, our series taking a fresh look at the armor of God—not just what each piece represents, but what it actually looks like to wear it. This week, we’re looking at one of the more interesting…
Season 4 of My Question for You: Wisdom for Your Walk continues with SUITED UP, our series taking a fresh look at the armor of God—not just what each piece represents, but what it actually looks like to wear it. This week, we’re putting on the breastplate of righteousness. A…

Season 4 of My Question for You: Wisdom for Your Walk continues with a new series: SUITED UP. After spending our last series, Behind Enemy Lines, learning to recognize the enemy and some of the ways he works, we’re turning our attention to what God has given us to stand…
After spending an entire series learning how to recognize the enemy, there’s one thing we don’t want to do: Spend all our time looking at him. In the final episode of Behind Enemy Lines, we turn to 2 Kings 6 and the story of Elisha’s servant, who wakes up to…
What if the fact that you’re still fighting doesn’t mean you’re losing? Sometimes we expect spiritual growth to mean the struggle disappears. The temptation stops. The old thoughts never return. The situation finally changes. But in Ephesians 6, Paul gives believers a surprisingly simple instruction: Stand. In Episode 5 of…
Temptation is easy to recognize when the choice is obviously wrong. But what about when it isn’t? In Matthew 4, Jesus had been fasting for forty days when He was tempted to turn stones into bread. He was genuinely hungry. Bread wasn’t bad. The need was real. And that’s what…
What if the accusation against you is partly true? You messed up. You knew better. Maybe you even promised yourself—or God—that you wouldn’t do it again. So when that failure comes back to mind, how do you know whether God is convicting you… or whether the enemy is using something…
What are you believing—and how do you know it’s true? Deception doesn’t always sound like an obvious lie. Sometimes it contains just enough truth that we don’t stop to question the rest. In Part 2 of Behind Enemy Lines, we’re looking at one of the enemy’s oldest strategies: deception. We’ll…
You know who the enemy is… right? We hear the phrase “spiritual warfare,” but what does that actually look like in everyday life? Because the enemy doesn’t always show up in ways that are obvious. Sometimes the battle looks like distraction. Discouragement. Division. Fear. Or a thought you’ve entertained for…
Work-You has it together. Small-Group-You has the right answers. 11 P.M.-You is a different story entirely. This is it — the final episode of What's Behind Your Smile? We've spent five weeks asking what's really underneath the version of ourselves everyone else gets to see: the fear of being seen,…
You can be surrounded by people every day — coworkers, family, a group chat that never goes quiet — and still be the only one who knows what today actually cost you. That's not the same as being alone. It might be lonelier. In this episode of My Question for…
You're the steady one. The one everyone else borrows faith from. But lately, there's a question you haven't said out loud — is God actually paying attention to any of this? In this episode, we sit with John the Baptist — the same man who once pointed at Jesus in…
Some of us aren't just tired. Some of us are managing something specific, and we've built our whole day around making sure certain people never see it. This is part 2 of What's Behind Your Smile? — a 5-episode series asking what's really underneath the version of ourselves we perform…
Fine. Good. Busy. You know how it is. It's the answer we give without even checking if it's true — and today we're asking why. Welcome to What's Behind Your Smile? — a new 5-episode series on My Question for You. Over the next few weeks, we're asking what's really…
"I've made my peace with it." That's what we say. But a lot of the time, that wasn't peace — it was just the day we stopped praying for it. The prayer didn't die. It just went quiet, and we never noticed the day it slipped off the list. This…
There was a prayer you used to pray for yourself. Maybe it was a dream. A healing. A door you hoped would open. Something you wanted before your life filled all the way up with everyone else's needs — before you got so good at praying for other people that…
There's a name you used to bring to God all the time. And somewhere along the way — without ever really deciding to — you stopped praying for them. Maybe it's a child who walked away. A sibling who went quiet. A friend on the same loop you've watched for…
You ever look at your phone, see who's calling, and just… let it go to voicemail? Not because you don't love them. You do. But you knew the second you saw the name — if you pick up, they're going to ask you for something. And you don't have it…
You didn't lose your faith. You just got tired of the silence. You brought the prayer to God — honestly, faithfully — and waited. A no, you could have grieved. But silence? Silence is harder. Silence makes you wonder if the message even got through. And after a while, you…
You didn't decide to stop praying for it. There was no fight with God. No moment where you said, "I'm done with this one." It just got quieter. And one day you noticed it hadn't been on your lips in a long time. In the premiere of The Prayers I…
There's a prayer you've been praying for a long time. You haven't given up. You haven't walked away. But somewhere along the way, you started softening what you were asking for — quietly lowering the bar so it wouldn't hurt as much if it didn't come through. If that's where…
You did it again. You meant it this time. You prayed. You promised yourself things were going to be different. And somewhere along the way, you blinked — and you were right back in the same pattern. If you've ever wondered why you keep going back to the person you…
