18 | Faith Like Karate: Training With the Holy Spirit and Aiming Your Battles at the Real Enemy

Season 1 Episode 18- Are you fighting the wrong battles? In this empowering episode, we break down how spiritual growth works a lot like a kids’ karate class — you stretch, you practice, you build discipline, and THEN you learn how to aim your strikes where they actually matter.Too often, we waste our energy battling ourselves, our circumstances, or our insecurities, when Scripture teaches us that the real enemy is spiritual, not physical. With the Holy Spirit as our coach and trainer, our faith muscles grow stronger through practice, stretching, and daily discipline — long before we ever step onto the battlefield.If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, uncomfortable, or “in training,” this episode will help you see the purpose behind it — and remind you that the Holy Spirit is preparing you to overcome the real enemy with power, clarity, and confidence.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Welcome to the “What the Heaven?

But that doesn’t mean we tap out.Here, we bring our heartbreak, doubts, and questions straight to Jesus — with authenticity and vulnerability — and then we gear up. We put on the armor of God, stand firm, and step back into the fight with courage.I’m Riley Shour, and every Tuesday + Friday, we’re keeping it real about the chaos and the comeback — because your faith was built for this fight.✨ Need deeper support or 1:1 faith coaching?
