"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might." (Eph. 6:10)
In this powerful first verse episode in our new The Armor series, Kate looks at Ephesians 6:10, inviting you to rethink what it truly means to be “strong” as a follower of Jesus.
Drawing from personal experience in the middle of deep physical pain and spiritual battles, Kate shows how God meets us not in our self-sufficiency—but in our surrender. Through vivid exploration of Psalm 18, the broader context of Ephesians, and the original Greek language, you’ll see that strength in the Christian life is not something you muster—it’s something you receive.
In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “be strong in the Lord” comes before putting on the armor of God, How avoiding hard seasons may actually be keeping you spiritually weak, What it practically looks like to rely on God’s strength instead of your own, Why your weakness is not a liability—but the very place God’s power is perfected, and How to face spiritual battles with confidence, knowing God fights for you.
If you’ve been running on empty, bracing yourself for what’s next, or quietly wondering how much longer you can hold it together—this episode will gently unravel the pressure to be strong and lead you back to the One who already is. Here, you’ll rediscover what it looks like to stop striving, start surrendering, and be strengthened right in the place you feel weakest.
