You don’t fight for victory — you fight from victory. In this first episode of Women in the Word, Hannah and Amber talk about what it means to pick up your sword and stand firm in who you are in Christ.

In this powerful conversation, Hannah Castiaux sits down with Amber Olafsson, author of the ARMOR UP Bible study and founder of United House Ministries, to talk about what it really means to fight your battles with Scripture and live equipped by the Word of God.

Together, they unpack:
⚔️ Why the Word of God is your greatest weapon against the enemy
🛡️ What it means to “armor up” daily with Ephesians 6
🔥 How to go from living defeated to living free
💬 The power of speaking Scripture out loud over your circumstances
🤍 Why community matters when you’re growing in the Word

This episode will stir your faith, strengthen your spirit, and remind you that you were never meant to fight unarmed.
It’s time to armor up — because the battle is real, but so is your victory.

📖 “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” — Ephesians 6:11

What if your identity wasn’t tied to your title, your role, or your accomplishments - but fully rooted in Christ? In this powerful conversation with Larissa Peña, founder of Girls with Swords and bold content creator, we tackle what it means to fight lies and labels with the Word of God.

Together we dive into:

• Larissa’s story of wrestling with identity as a woman in ministry and finding her true worth in Christ

• How to pick up the “sword of the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:17) in your daily life

• The danger of attaching your value to titles, platforms, or approval - and the freedom of resting in who God says you are

• Practical ways to use Scripture as your weapon against fear, insecurity, and doubt

This episode is an encouragement to every woman who has ever wondered: Am I enough? Am I called? Does God really want to use me? The answer is YES, sis. Your identity is secure in Christ and His Word equips you for every battle.

📖 Scripture Anchors: Isaiah 43:19, Ephesians 6:17, 2 Corinthians 10:5

Ever told yourself, “I don’t need people”? You’re not alone. In this powerful conversation with author and rancher Cloe Parker (Connected Cowgirl + CEO of Parker Pastures), we dig deep into why women are burning out from trying to be “strong,” and how God’s original design is for connection - with Him, with each other, and even with the food we eat.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Cloe’s raw testimony of hitting rock bottom and the moment God revealed Himself through his creation🌿

• Why pretending to be “fine” keeps us isolated, and how community brings real freedom

• The hidden ways social media creates false connection - and how to break free

• The truth about food, faith, and health: why what we eat impacts our spiritual and physical energy

• How to ask for help, let people in, and cultivate authentic friendships in this season

This is more than an interview - it’s an invitation to drop the mask, lean on Jesus, and let people into your story.

📖 Scripture Anchors: Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:28, Proverbs 3:5-6
