Let’s be real—sometimes you don’t even have the words. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth about walking through depression, wrestling with obedience, and trying to pray when everything feels heavy. If you’ve ever been in a season where you’re just not okay, this one’s for you.

We’re talking:
– Why 60% obedience isn’t obedience
– What Romans 8:26 actually means for your prayer life
– Letting your silence and your tears be your prayers
– Why healing doesn’t have to wait until after the storm

You’re not alone, and you’re not a failure. This is real faith in real life.

Obedience doesn’t always lead to instant fruit—and sometimes it feels like it made everything worse. In this episode, Karleigh Lynn shares a raw, personal story about following God to Florida, wrestling with disappointment, and learning what surrender actually looks like.

She also dives into Luke 5:1–11 to unpack how Peter’s reluctant obedience led to a miracle—and why that story matters when your faith feels like it’s not working.

What we cover:

• Why obedience can feel pointless when nothing changes

• The truth about surrender and unseen fruit

• A hard season Karleigh’s still processing

• What Luke 5 teaches us about trying again

• Why your faithfulness matters even when you’re frustrated

In today’s episode of the Me and Jesus Podcast, we're wrapping up the Armor of God series by talking about one of the most overlooked — but most powerful — parts of spiritual warfare: prayer.
Prayer isn’t something you do after the battle... it's how you fight. We’re breaking down how prayer fits into the armor, how to build a stronger prayer life, and how to move forward living armored and ready every single day.

Let’s commit to praying for boldness and stepping fully into what God has called us to do. Tune in now!

If reading the Bible feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. So many people believe they have to immediately love reading Scripture, and when they don’t, they assume something is wrong with them. But that’s a lie from the enemy. In today’s episode, I break down the biggest misconceptions about Bible reading and why resistance to getting into the Word is completely normal.

I share my personal journey of going from avoiding the Bible altogether to falling in love with it—and how that transformation didn’t happen overnight. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing it wrong, if you’ve struggled to build consistency, or if you just don’t know where to start, this episode will give you the encouragement (and the reality check) you need.

In this episode, I tackle the fear that the enemy uses to keep us from fully embracing our salvation and living out our faith. I share my personal experience with those crippling thoughts that tell us we're too flawed or unworthy to be with God—and how that lie limits His power in our lives. Once you've accepted Jesus as your Savior, there's nothing to fear. The enemy’s tactics are designed to box God in and keep us stuck in doubt. I dive into how our daily habits—especially consistent Bible reading and prayer—can strengthen our spiritual muscles, making us a real threat to the enemy. I also offer practical advice on listening to the Holy Spirit and taking radical steps in obedience, even when it’s uncomfortable. Ultimately, I encourage you to choose discipline and consistency in your spiritual journey, so that every time you pick up your Bible or say a prayer, you declare that nothing will hold you back from fulfilling God’s purpose.

I dive into the power and purpose of the Sword of the Spirit—the Word of God. I share how this sword isn’t just for defense but for actively cutting through the enemy’s lies, equipping me to fight back in spiritual warfare. I explain why it’s essential to have a personal relationship with Scripture, study it daily, and live out its transformative truth in every area of my life.

In this episode, I dive into the amazing truth of God's holiness and how it should completely realign my priorities. I share a raw and personal message about taking God’s goodness seriously—not just asking what He can do for me, but recognizing that He is good simply because He is holy. I reflect on how embracing His holiness challenges me to live differently, set aside true "Jesus time" each morning, and surrender the things that keep me from fully worshiping Him. Inspired by a powerful sermon from Haley Melinda, I explore how understanding God's holiness can transform the way I show up every day and why we, as believers, need to stop taking our relationship with Him for granted.
