Send us Fan Mail The spiritual battle isn’t always dramatic. More often, it happens through the small choices we make every day. In this episode, Doug Barry explains how seemingly insignificant compromises—neglecting prayer, losing discipline, or simply letting our guard down—can gradually pull us away from God.  Drawing from his experience and his book First Line of Defense, Doug challenges us to stay spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically battle-ready. You’ll learn why vigilance doesn’t mean living in fear, how our interior spiritual battles affect our lives and relationships, and how daily discipline can prepare us to hear God’s voice and respond when He calls.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever told yourself, "God has a plan," while still feeling hurt, stuck, or unable to move forward? In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, grief coach and Positive Doing founder Johanna Stamps joins me to talk about the grief and loss we often don't even realize we're carrying—and why simply knowing the right Christian answers doesn't always help us process what's happening in our hearts. Grief isn't limited to the death of someone we love. It can come with the loss of a relationship, a career, a dream, a season of life, or something we thought our life would look like. Johanna shares why unprocessed grief can leave our thoughts spinning, why rest and silence are essential for processing loss, and what it means to tell ourselves the whole truth about what we've experienced. We also talk about something Christians can be especially prone to: using true statements like "God has a plan" to rush ourselves past the very real pain underneath. Instead, Johanna invites us to become curious about what we're carrying and create space to ask God honest questions—even when the answers don't come right away. If you've ever wondered why you still feel stuck after a loss, felt guilty for struggling when you know God is good, or simply haven't known what to do with the things that hurt, this conversation will give you a different way to approach grief—with honesty, curiosity, and God.
