Episode # 85 Life is a Battlefield, so Put on the Full Armor of God with guest speakers: Jai, Erin Cluley, and Ginger Stache

Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! You are listening to episode 85! I wanted to say thank you for taking time out of your day to listen! This space in your day is meant to lift you up and onward!  I believe that there’s always something powerful that happens, when I listen to an encouraging word; that is something relatable and I can learn something new! Today, I have three very special guests with me to help do all of those things I mentioned!  We will dive into the topic of putting on the full armor of God and asking ourselves the hard questions like,  Do I create my own peace or am I readily stepping into the situation/day with being ready to take the first step with the gospel of peace? How can I prepare my heart and mind for the day? How can I confidently face the battles in my day to day life?  Whether you spilled hot coffee everywhere in your car or wondering how to handle going through a divorce, or finding out that the one you are married to lied to you, or your kids are sick ---- these all are real life hard things to face! Yet ---- there is HOPE when we face every single arrow that comes our way!  These ladies have valuable points to bring up in a very authentic, real, and raw conversation about putting on the armor of God in their own lives. I am SO honored to have on the show! Erin Cluley —- she has a beautiful family with two young children, she is also a working mom as she is the Creative Director at Joyce Meyers Ministry, and a co-host to the Joyce Meyers Ministry’s "Talk it Out Podcast." She is sweet as pie, kind, thoughtful---- and will be sure to make you smile.  (also a returning guest :) ) Another person who is not a stranger to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast is...
