Beyond the Building

178. Building Foundations - Establishing Firm Footing

This week we go back to episode 53. The most important feature of anything that is built is the foundation. The health, stability, strength and integrity fully depend on having a foundation that is prepared to stand the test of time. Nicole Theis, founder and president of Delaware Family Policy Council (DFPC) is our special guest today as she shares about how the team at DFPC works daily to equip and embolden Christ followers in Delaware to take action to advance, defend, and intentionally preserve foundations of faith, family, and freedom in all the arenas that shape the culture.

177. Can I Really Have Peace in the Midst of Chaos?

This week we go back to episode 26. We certainly live in a time of great chaos, but in the battles of this life, we can experience great peace. The peace of Christ is living undisturbed by the chaos around us and is only possible when we are fully suited up in the armor of God. God has given us the shoes of peace so we can stand in the struggle rather than collapse when the battle rages on. We can have peace in our battles today!

176. God’s Plan for Guarding Your Heart

This week we go back to episode 25. Our spiritual heart, also known as our soul, is the place that houses our emotions, our thought and our will. The enemy will do everything he can to get to our soul in order to influence our emotions, our thoughts and eventually get our will away from the Father’s will. God has given us a breastplate to guard our hearts in the battles of this life giving new meaning to the phrase ‘guard your heart’.

175. Recognizing the Enemy’s Deception

This week we go back to episode 24. The first piece of the armor that we are to put on is the Belt Of Truth. For the soldier, every piece of armor rests or hangs on his belt. Likewise, in our lives, everything we believe and act upon must align with the truth. The truth is God’s opinion on the matter; what does His Word say to us? Our enemy operates in deception…how important it is then that we walk in truth!

174. Learning to Fight What You Cannot See

This week we go back to episode 23. Each of us is engaged in a battle with an unseen enemy, Satan. His plan is to steal, kill and destroy all that God has created. The day you received Christ as your Savior, the line was drawn and you became a target for Satan to attack. God has given us His armor, in Ephesians 6, to protect, to empower and to help us stand. Prayer, is the key. It is time to suit up!
