    The Catching Away of His Bride: Ready, Pure & Holding the Line | Week 5 Bible Study Recap EP 43

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn and Krystal recap Week 5 of our Bible study through The King Is Coming by John Bevere. This episode focuses on The Catching Away of His Bride — the hope of Jesus’ return, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, the transformation of living believers, and what it means to live ready while we wait for the Bridegroom. We discuss the different views surrounding the timing of the catching away — pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib — while emphasizing that this topic should not divide believers or create arrogance. Paul said to comfort one another with these words, not fight over them. We also talk about holding the line in a dark world, resisting compromise, pursuing holiness, and living as a bride prepared for the return of Jesus. Key Scriptures:  Luke 19:11-13  1 Corinthians 15:51-52  1 Thessalonians 4:16-18  1 Thessalonians 5:5-11  Matthew 25:1-13  Matthew 6:31-33  Revelation 19:7-8  Hebrews 12:14 This episode is our personal recap and discussion from Week 5 of The King Is Coming Bible study by John Bevere.

    The Battle in Your Mind Is Real (And Most People Are Losing It) Ep 40

    Send us Fan Mail The battle in your mind is real—and most people don’t even realize they’re in it. In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn and Krystal step away from their usual Bible study recap to have an honest, needed conversation about what’s really going on in our thoughts. Anxiety. Overthinking. Fear. Lies that sound like truth. And now, in a world filled with constant noise, media influence, and advancing technology—including AI—it’s getting harder than ever to tell what’s real and what’s not. But here’s the truth:  If you don’t take authority over your thoughts, they will take authority over your life. This isn’t just self-help talk—this is spiritual.  Scripture is clear that we are called to take every thought captive and bring it under the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). In this episode, we talk about:  • How the enemy uses subtle lies in everyday thoughts  • Why anxiety and overthinking are often rooted in what we’re believing  • How to recognize when your thoughts don’t line up with God’s Word  • What it actually looks like to take your thoughts captive  • How to stay grounded in truth in a world full of deception This is real conversation. No pretending. No fluff.  Just two women who love Jesus, love His Word, and are learning to walk it out in real life. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed in your mind, stuck in cycles of negative thinking, or unsure what to believe anymore—this episode is for you. 🙏 DISCLAIMER We are not pastors, theologians, or Bible scholars.  We are simply two women who love the Lord, love His Word, and share what we are learning through our personal walk and Bible study. 📖 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES 2 Corinthians 10:5  Romans 12:2  Philippians 4:6–8  John 8:32  Isaiah 26:3 If this spoke to you, share it with someone who needs it.  And let us know in the comments—what’s one lie you’ve had to replace with God’s truth?

    Why We Need to Talk About the Return of Jesus EP 37

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn and Krystal revisit chapters they had already discussed after receiving a study guide that led them to slow down and take a deeper look. What started as a review turned into an honest conversation about prophecy, spiritual readiness, and why so many believers avoid talking about the return of Jesus. Together, they discuss how this subject has often been mishandled through fear, confusion, arguments, and speculation—and why that should not keep believers from studying what Scripture clearly teaches. This episode is not about hype, predictions, or dramatic theories. It is about returning to the Word of God and asking what the truth of Christ’s return should produce in the life of a believer. Evelyn and Krystal talk about the difference between fear and faith, hysteria and hope, and why biblical prophecy should move us toward holiness, watchfulness, and everyday obedience. They also challenge listeners to examine whether they are spiritually awake, truly grounded in Scripture, and living in a way that reflects real surrender to Christ. This episode is a reminder that the return of Jesus is not meant to make believers panic—it is meant to make us ready. If you have ever felt intimidated by prophecy, confused by end-times conversations, or unsure why this topic still matters, this discussion will encourage you to dig into the Word for yourself and keep your eyes on Jesus.

    Faithfulness, Stewardship, and Multiplication | Called Lesson 10 Recap | Unfiltered Faith WK 35 EP 36

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to be faithful in God’s Kingdom? In this episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn Ello reflects on biblical principles of faithfulness, stewardship, and multiplication inspired by Lesson 10 of the Called study series. Faithfulness is often misunderstood as simply staying consistent, but Scripture shows that God calls us to steward what He has entrusted to us in ways that produce fruit. In this episode we explore: • Why faithfulness often begins with small opportunities  • How stewardship shapes our calling  • Why seasons of serving someone else’s vision matter  • How God multiplies what we place in His hands This episode encourages listeners to recognize the purpose God has placed in their lives and begin stewarding it faithfully. This episode contains personal reflections inspired by themes discussed in the Called series by John Bevere, available through the MessengerX platform.
