But here they were in 11 verses, and by the end of it, he's confidently proclaiming victory.And that's where I recognized the disconnect: we're proclaiming and using our authority in Jesus' name. Still, we're not living into or leaning into these spiritual postures and practices, yet we expect something to happen automatically.The disconnect often happens when we rush to claim victory without inviting Jesus into our struggles, our pain, and our reality.—Theresa M. MillerI am thrilled to introduce you to my friend and author, Theresa M. Miller, today.

Plus, we go into detail about her new book, The Posture of Victory: Finding True Peace Amidst Our Everyday Battles, a 6-week bible study and our collaborative book, Unexpected Blessings, 40 Days of Discovering God's Best, co-authored with five other women.The big takeaway for me, beautifully demonstrated in Theresa's story, is the value of faithful little steps of obedience when God calls us to do something.
