In this episode of Wake Her Soul, Shawna and Camille continue anchoring the conversation in Ephesians 5:14, turning from the call to wake up toward the often harder command: “rise up from the dead.”
This episode explores why many believers wake up spiritually—but remain stalled, seated, or hesitant to move forward. Not because they don’t love God, but because fear, shame, offense, and spiritual passivity quietly keep them from standing in faith.
Together, Shawna and Camille unpack how constant spiritual consumption without obedience leads to stagnation, why prayer is not passive but authoritative, and how God designed faith to be strengthened through community rather than isolation.
This conversation also confronts the subtle traps of offense, emotional reactivity, and self-protection—revealing how easily peace is surrendered when we stay asleep to what’s actually shaping our responses.
If you’ve ever felt spiritually aware but hesitant to move…If you’ve been consuming truth without seeing transformation…If fear, offense, or isolation have kept you seated longer than you want to admit…
This episode is an invitation to rise.
Takeaways
• Awakening is awareness, but rising requires obedience• You can be spiritually awake and still remain stuck• Truth that is consumed without application leads to stagnation• Fear often disguises itself as wisdom or waiting• Prayer is not passive—it is permission for heaven to move• God has given believers spiritual authority through Christ• Offense and emotional reactivity quietly steal peace• No one has power over you unless you give it• Community strengthens faith in ways isolation never can• Rising often happens before confidence arrives
