“In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” (Ephesians 6:16)

What is faith? How do we grow in it? And what does it actually mean to take up the shield of faith in the middle of a very real spiritual battle?

In this episode, Kate walks word-by-word through Ephesians 6:16 to uncover why Paul describes faith as a shield and how it extinguishes the flaming darts of the evil one. Together, listeners will discover why unbelief leaves us exposed, why faith is so much more than positive thinking or trying harder, and why knowing God through His Word is essential if we're going to trust Him in the battles we face.

Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to see that the strength of our faith has never depended on us, but on the One we've placed our faith in. The God who calls us to take up the shield of faith is the same God who repeatedly calls Himself our shield throughout Scripture.

If you've ever wrestled with fear, unbelief, or wondered how to trust God when life feels uncertain, this episode will encourage you to stop standing exposed and begin hiding yourself in the God who is faithful, trustworthy, and able to extinguish every flaming dart hurled your way.
