Walking with Kelley and Kristy

49 | Standing Firm in the Flawless Armor of God

In this episode we continue to be encouraged by going to God's Word, the SWORD of the SPIRIT, so that we can stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the enemy. 
 
"Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the good news, Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy  Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere."
Ephesians 6 :14-18

48 | Victorious Living Requires Taking Up the Helmet of Salvation

In this episode we are reminded to actively TAKE up the helmet of salvation, and this is all about understanding our identity in CHRIST. Taking up the helmet of salvation protects our minds from the constant distractions, insecurities, and negative influences that the enemy uses to try to get into our heads. The schemes of the enemy are so many times targeted in our minds. He knows if he can get into our heads, the damage will trickle down from our thoughts and into our behaviors. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says that "we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." We are in a battle, but God has given us everything we need to have victory over the enemy
We pray you are encouraged this week to put on the full armor of God, so that you can walk victoriously in the power and strength of Christ. We love you...Keep Walking!!

47 | An Open Invitation - How Will You Respond?

In this episode, Delissa DIxon joins us at the table to encourage us on our journey of faith, and she helps to remind us why putting on the full armor of God is so vital in the day and age we are living in.  The power and presence of the Holy Spirit is available to anyone who accepts the Lord's invitation to come and follow & walk with Him. We pray that as you listen, you too will experience the love of the Father and the power of His presence, as we share in conversation and prayer time here today. Put on the full armor of God, stand firm in HIS strength, and take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish ALL the flaming arrows of the evil one.

46 | Ready To Go With the Gospel of Peace

In this episode, Patti Lethco joins us at the table to share her perspective on what walking in the Full Armor of God looks like and how He has been preparing her over the years for the next call of ministry in her life. She and her husband Eric will be serving the people of Tanzania through a ministry called Maasai .Pastor's Project. Old Fort Baptist Church has played a vital role in building relationships and leading this beautiful people group to faith in the one true God. As we continue to study the book of Ephesians and focus on the armor of God, we are encouraged in verse 15 of Chapter 6 to PUT ON the shoes of the gospel of peace. These shoes of peace are a reminder to BE READY to Go wherever God is leading and to go empowered in the strength of Christ. We pray that as you listen to Patti's testimony, you too will be challenged to share your personal faith testimony wherever God leads you.

45 | Crushing Circumstances Lead to Deeper Intimacy and A Posture of Service

In this episode, we are so blessed to have Tami Hoisington and her daughter, Emily Kerr, share how putting on the full armor of God has been vital to healing and wholeness in their lives. When devastation crushed their hopes and dreams, it became an opportunity for God to become more real than ever and His people to rally around to pray, help, and hold each other as the flaming darts of the enemy flew their way. Not only did healing come, but so did the opportunity for service. Listen to learn how "Charleston Hope" became a reality and how God is using this ministry to help so many. We are the body of Christ and we need each other.

43 | ARMY STRONG - Put on the Full Armor of God

In this episode, Major Jamie Hemingway, of the South Carolina Army National Guard shares spiritual encouragement as well as some very practical biblical weapons from God's word.  We read in Ephesians 6:10-18. Paul says, "Finally, BE STRONG in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes". 
This is the reason we are sharing a series on The Armor of God. We want you, our brothers and sisters in CHRIST, to be ready, equipped, and confident for any battle you come face to face with today. YOU are a WARRIOR, God loves you and He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. Spoiler alert - Christ already defeated satan and the grave, and because we are fighting in the LORD'S ARMY, we are going STAND FIRM in the armor of God! We are Warriors! Stay ARMY STRONG!

42 | Walking Warriors - Put On the Full Armor of God

Welcome to a NEW SEASON of the Walking with Kelley and Kristy podcast. In this episode, we introduce a new season of "Walking Warriors". This world is a battlefield, and in Ephesians chapter 6, Paul encourages the Church of Ephesus, and the Christian Church today, to BE STRONG in the LORD and in HIS mighty power. He encourages us to put on the full armor of God! So in this season, we want to do the same for you.  We are Warriors, and we need to be fully equipped and ready to FIGHT, the good fight of Faith, each and every day. Put on the full armor of God and Keep Walking!

41 | Wrapping up Walking in our Calling

In this episode, we wrap up a season of what it looks like to walk in our calling and what it means to know and walk out this life in our true identity in Christ.  As unique as we all are, is the uniqueness of how God can use our lives to reach out and connect to others. God has called each of us to share Christ as we go about our daily routines.  We hope you have been encouraged as we have, as we've walked beside friends and leaders in our own community, who are impacting this world for Christ. Be bold in your faith, and walk in the confidence of Christ!

40 | God's Word - A Strong Foundation Through Every Shifting Season

In this episode, Mary McCallum shares with us how a strong foundation of faith and the power of God's word has helped to lead and guide her steps as she walks out life. Mary is a pastor's wife and mom to three precious boys, but also a very gifted worship leader and teacher. During this sweet conversation, Mary reminds us that as believers, our calling doesn't change, but we will go through shifts, or changes in direction, where God wants to use our gifts and talents in ways we might not have expected. Our obedience and participation to follow wherever He leads is a key to experiencing joy and abundance each and every day. We pray you are encouraged by Mary's testimony to keep walking out your own faith journey, with your eyes fixed on Jesus, knowing that He is working all things for good, even when things don't feel good. He loves you and we are so thankful you would spend these few minutes walking with us today.
