Spirit Arising

Why do so many believers in Jesus still wrestle with shame—even after receiving forgiveness? We know the truth of the gospel: that Jesus died to wash away our sins and make us new. Yet for many, shame lingers, quietly shaping identity, thoughts, and relationships. In this podcast, we dig beneath the surface to uncover the root of why forgiven believers continue to live burdened by shame. Through honest conversation and biblical insight, we explore the difference between conviction and condemnation, the lies that keep shame alive, and the freedom that comes from fully embracing God’s grace. If you’ve ever felt stuck in guilt or unworthy despite your faith, this conversation is for you.

As a Christian, how do you survive in a narcissist world? How do you maintain relationships? What should you say? What shouldn't you say? What does it look like to love a narcissist? What does forgiveness look like? How do you get out of relationship burnout and live peacefully? All these questions are answered and much more in this podcast.

This teaching was originally shared informally during a prayer call and later impressed upon us to preserve for this podcast. It speaks to dysfunctional family dynamics, sudden rejection, manipulation, and the journey of overcoming adversity with humility and perseverance. At its core is a story of redemption—revealing how Christ can transform lives through hardship and pain. May this message encourage you and remind you that God shapes character in the midst of trials. We pray you are blessed as you listen.

In this teaching by Stephanie Martin, she will begin the process of helping Christians to understand how Christians could live under demonic oppression. What are signs that you’re being oppressed by demons and some basic teaching on how to set people free from demonic torment.

In Stephanie’s final teaching as she closes the Bible study she talks about our need for Grit in the Christian life. Grit in marriage. Grit in raising children. Grit in doing the right thing in a world that grows darker. It is a powerful teaching that you are not going to want to miss.
