Standing Tall Against the Enemy | Holy, Humble & Here for It

In this week’s episode, Jess and Hannah dive into a topic every believer faces—spiritual warfare. Not the spooky, dramatic kind… but the subtle, everyday battles that try to wear you down, whisper lies, and pull you off God’s path.

Because yes—the enemy is real.
But even more real is the Savior who has already overcome. ✨

Jess and Hannah unpack:

🔥 How the enemy works through subtle lies, discouragement, and distraction
📖 Why Scripture teaches us that our battle isn’t against flesh and blood
🛡️ How to stand tall using the armor of God—practically, not theoretically
👑 Your identity in Christ as your first line of defense
💬 Personal stories of spiritual pushback and how they fought through it
🙏 The power of prayer—especially the fierce, quiet strength of a praying woman
💛 How women like Esther show us what courage looks like in the face of spiritual attack

You’ll hear real talk, real encouragement, and real reminders that:

• You fight from victory, not for it.

• You don’t need to feel strong to stand—you just need to stand in truth.

• God equips you with every spiritual weapon you need.

• Your prayers carry authority.

• You were made for such a time as this.

The episode ends with a powerful prayer over every listener—one who is battling fear, confusion, discouragement, or spiritual pressure—and calls each woman back to truth, identity, and holy courage.

If you’ve been feeling the weight of a spiritual fight… this episode will meet you right where you are and remind you:
You’re not fighting alone. And you’re stronger in Christ than you think.

The world shouts “do it all yourself,” but God designed us to do life together. In this honest conversation, Hannah and Jess unpack the myth of independence, share the messy + beautiful moments where community held them up, and walk through practical ways to build real friendships, right where you are. Expect Scripture, vulnerability, and gentle reflection breaks you can sit with this week.

In this episode:

• Why “strong + solo” left us exhausted, and what Scripture says instead (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10)

• Proximity + vulnerability: takeaways from Find Your People (Jennie Allen) that actually work

• When community gets messy: boundaries, safe circles, and staying with love (Romans 12:5)

• How small acts (a texted prayer, coffee on a messy table) create big connection (Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:42–47)

Reflection prompts:

• Where are you carrying something alone that God is inviting you to share?

• Who knows the real you, and what’s one next step toward safe vulnerability?

• What’s one brave move toward community this week (invite, text, prayer, yes to help)?

Scripture mentioned: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10; Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:42–47; Romans 12:5

Gentle note: This episode briefly references miscarriage with care and prayer.

Try this this week: Send one prayer voice memo or text a short prayer to a friend. Invite someone over “excuse the mess” and all. Say yes when help is offered.

If this encouraged you, share it with a friend and leave a quick rating so more women can find gospel-centered community. 💛
