Shownotes

In today’s episode, I’m diving into something that has been heavy on my heart—how we navigate the rising division and chaos we’re all feeling in today’s world. 

With so much tension, uncertainty, and heightened emotion, it can feel like everything is hanging by a thread, whether it’s a political decision or something personal happening in your life. If you’re feeling that weight, this episode is for you.

Today, I want to share what God has been showing me about how we’re called to respond during these stormy times. I’m talking about how to stand strong, stay grounded, and become a lighthouse for others—a source of hope, direction, and safety—when everything around us feels chaotic. This episode is all about stepping into our role as lights in the darkness, especially when division is tearing at the fabric of our families, communities, and even our own hearts.

I’ll also be diving into scripture and sharing a prayer that’s been anchoring me in this season. Let’s talk about how we can avoid getting pulled into the noise and reactivity and instead be the steady, unshakable presence we’re called to be.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The Destructive Power of Division: I talk a lot about division because it’s everywhere right now—whether in our personal lives, at work, or even in our country. When we’re divided, we cannot stand. This is why it’s so important for us to come together, not just in agreement but with a unified purpose, grounded in God’s truth.
  2. Being a Lighthouse in Dark Times: We are called to be lighthouses—firm, unwavering, and filled with the light of Christ. In this episode, I explore what that looks like and how we can offer hope and stability to others when everything feels uncertain and chaotic.
  3. Standing on God’s Truth: When there’s so much noise and misinformation swirling around, we need to stand on the unshakable truth of God’s Word. Scripture cuts through confusion and gives us clarity. I share how the Word has been my anchor and guide in these times.
  4. Spiritual Warfare and Self-Discipline: It’s easy to get emotionally hijacked these days, but we’re called to a higher standard. I talk about how to engage in spiritual warfare through prayer, intercession, and self-discipline, guarding our hearts and minds from fear and confusion.
  5. Solomon’s Wisdom and a Powerful Prayer: Lastly, I’m sharing a prayer inspired by Solomon’s wisdom, calling us to humble ourselves, seek God’s face, and pray for healing. We can’t fix everything on our own, but we can pray, intercede, and trust that God is working through us.

Quotes:

  • “A house divided against itself will not stand.” (Mark 3:25)
  • “Be a lighthouse—steadfast, filled with the light of Christ, standing firm in times of darkness.”
  • “God’s truth doesn’t need defending; it pierces through the noise and confusion when we ground ourselves in Him.”

If you’ve been feeling the weight of division or uncertainty, tune in to this episode. Let’s talk about how we can stand firm, grounded in our faith, and be a light for others.
