Are You Ready to Move?

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 simply what each piece represents, but what it actually looks like to wear it.

This week, we’re moving to the shoes of the gospel of peace.

And there’s something interesting about that picture: Paul is describing a soldier prepared for battle, yet he puts peace on his feet—and connects that peace with readiness.

So what exactly is the gospel of peace preparing us for?

In this episode, we’re looking at the difference between having peace with God and waiting for our circumstances to feel peaceful. We’ll explore how the gospel gives us secure footing when the road ahead is uncertain, why readiness doesn’t always mean movement, and how peace can prepare us to stand faithfully or take the next step when God says go.

Because maybe being ready isn’t about knowing exactly where you’re headed.

Maybe it starts with knowing where you stand.

So this week’s question is:

Are you ready to move?

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 simply what each piece represents, but what it actually looks like to wear it.

This week, we’re moving to the breastplate of righteousness.

A breastplate protected something vital. So why does Paul connect that protection to righteousness? And what exactly are we putting on?

It’s easy to think of righteousness as getting things right—living well, making good choices and obeying God. But if our protection depends on our performance, what happens on the days when we get it wrong?

In this episode, we’re looking at the difference between trying to build our own protection and learning to stand in the righteousness Christ has already provided. We’ll also explore what wearing the breastplate looks like when we fail, face correction, or feel the need to prove that we’re still okay.

Because your record was never your breastplate.

So this week’s question is:

What are you protecting your heart with?

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 simply what each piece represents, but what it actually looks like to wear it.

This week, we’re starting with the first piece Paul names: the belt of truth.

Why does truth come first? And why would Paul compare it to something a soldier secured before he moved?

Because when life changes, we can quickly move from what happened to deciding what it means about God—and those aren’t always the same thing.

In this episode, we’ll look at how truth keeps us grounded when circumstances leave us with more questions than answers, and what it practically looks like to put on the belt of truth before we react, assume or move forward.

So this week’s question is:

What’s holding you together?

Season 4 of My Question for You: Wisdom for Your Walk continues with a brand-new series: SUITED UP.

In our last series, Behind Enemy Lines, we learned to recognize the enemy and some of the ways he works. Now we’re shifting the focus to what God has given us to stand against him.

And we’re starting with a familiar passage: the armor of God in Ephesians 6.

You may know the armor by heart. You may even be able to name every piece without opening your Bible. But knowing the armor isn’t the same thing as wearing it.

Throughout SUITED UP, we’re going beyond what each piece represents to explore what it actually looks like to live in what God has given us when life gets real.

And it starts with one question:

Are you dressed for this?

🎧 Listen now and consider what you’re actually reaching for when fear, doubt, temptation or uncertainty shows up.

Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–18; James 1:22–25

After six weeks of talking about the enemy, there’s one thing Melissa doesn’t want you to do: walk away thinking about him all the time.

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 discover an enemy army surrounding the city. The threat is real—but it isn’t the whole story.

So what happens when awareness of the enemy becomes preoccupation with him? And how do we stay spiritually aware without allowing the battle to become the focus of our lives?

This week’s question is: Where are your eyes?

Because faith doesn’t require you to pretend the enemy isn’t there. It reminds you that the enemy isn’t all that’s there.

Plus, Melissa shares where My Question for You is headed next as we move from recognizing the battle to understanding what God has given us for it.

Scripture: 2 Kings 6:8–17; Ephesians 6:10–18

What if the fact that you’re still in the battle doesn’t mean you’re losing?

Sometimes we’re so focused on wanting the struggle to disappear that we miss what God has already strengthened in us.

In Episode 5 of Behind Enemy Lines, we return to Ephesians 6 and take a closer look at one simple instruction Paul repeats: stand. We’ll talk about the difference between standing and striving, why resistance doesn’t always mean the struggle stops, and how spiritual growth can show up in the way something no longer moves you like it used to.

Because victory isn’t always the moment the battle disappears.

Sometimes it’s realizing…

you’re still standing.

Temptation doesn’t always look like something obviously wrong. Sometimes, it looks like relief, comfort, attention—or even something you genuinely need.

In this episode of Behind Enemy Lines, we’re looking at what Scripture teaches us about how temptation works and why our most vulnerable moments can make the wrong thing look surprisingly reasonable.

Through Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and James’ teaching about our own desires, we’ll explore why recognizing what we’re hungry for may help us recognize temptation before we’re already caught up in it.

Because the hunger may be real… but that doesn’t mean everything offered to you is meant to feed you.

What if the accusation against you contains some truth?

You messed up. You knew better. Maybe you even said you’d never 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 true to lead you toward a verdict God never gave you?

In Part 3 of Behind Enemy Lines, we’re looking at accusation—and why Scripture’s description of Satan as “the accuser” matters.

Through Peter’s denial of Jesus and his restoration in John 21, we’ll explore what accusation is really trying to accomplish, why conviction and accusation can sometimes begin with the same evidence, and one important question that can help us recognize the difference:

Where is this taking me?

Because God can confront something that needs to change and still call you forward.

The enemy would rather convince you there is no forward.

And sometimes, he doesn’t need to make up the evidence.

He just needs you to believe his verdict.
