Welcome to the launch of Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud — where holy snark meets serious faith. In this first episode, I’ll tell you why you’re hearing an AI voice instead of mine (spoiler: caregiving chaos doesn’t make for a quiet studio). But urgency waits for no one — we don’t have time to sit this season out.
We’ll kick things off with a Bible Surprise from Luke 15:20 — where God shocks everyone by sprinting toward His messy kids — and then roll into a Battle Brief I’m calling Operation Wake-Up Call. We’ll unpack the Armor of God, why you can’t fight in spiritual pajamas, and how prayer is your field radio back to Command. Mercy and urgency aren’t opposites — they’re your marching orders.
So grab your Bible, buckle up, and get ready to armor up. The war isn’t coming — it’s already here. And your mission starts now.
Lyrics: Armor Up Anthem
Verse 1Belt of Truth, it holds me tight,Keeps me steady in the fight.Breastplate on, my heart’s secure,Righteousness in Christ is sure.
Verse 2Shield of Faith, I lift it high,Flaming arrows pass me by.Helmet strong, my mind’s made new,Saved by grace, I know what’s true.
ChorusSword of the Spirit, Word in my hand,Prayer is the radio, tuned to Command.Armor up, soldier, don’t back down,Stand your ground till the trumpet sound!
Verse 3Boots of peace, I’m ready to go,Carrying good news the world must know.Step by step, the battle is won,We fight in the power of God’s own Son.
Chorus (repeat)Sword of the Spirit, Word in my hand,Prayer is the radio, tuned to Command.Armor up, soldier, don’t back down,Stand your ground till the trumpet sound!
Outro (spoken + sung tag)“Field orders complete. Keep your armor sharp,keep your radio live —and never forget who won this war.”
