Standing, Not Striving: Introducing the Armor of God (Episode 1)
In this episode of Rooted + Rested, we begin a gentle series on the Armor of God and anxious thoughts, exploring how spiritual battles often take place in the mind and how God invites us to stand firm in His strength rather than striving in our own.
Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces that seek to deceive, discourage, and distract us from the truth of who we are in Christ. The enemy often targets our thoughts, whispering lies about our worth, our calling, and God’s faithfulness. But God has not left us defenseless. He has given us spiritual armor—not to strive harder, but to stand firm in His strength.
In this episode, Lisa shares a personal story from the lavender field, reflecting on a season of wrestling with doubt, silence, and anxious thoughts—and how God faithfully met her, even when His voice seemed quiet. Through Scripture, reflection, and story, we are reminded that even when God feels silent, He is still present, still faithful, and still at work.
This episode sets the foundation for the Armor of God series, where each week we’ll sit with one piece of the armor and explore how it helps us stand rooted in truth, peace, and faith—especially during seasons of mental and emotional weariness.
If you’re a Christian woman seeking rest, biblical encouragement, and practical ways to quiet anxious thoughts, this episode is for you.
