    #101 "The Shield of Faith" (Ephesians 6:16)

    “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” (Ephesians 6:16) What is faith? How do we grow in it? And what does it actually mean to take up the shield of faith in the middle of a very real spiritual battle? In this episode, Kate walks word-by-word through Ephesians 6:16 to uncover why Paul describes faith as a shield and how it extinguishes the flaming darts of the evil one. Together, listeners will discover why unbelief leaves us exposed, why faith is so much more than positive thinking or trying harder, and why knowing God through His Word is essential if we're going to trust Him in the battles we face. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to see that the strength of our faith has never depended on us, but on the One we've placed our faith in. The God who calls us to take up the shield of faith is the same God who repeatedly calls Himself our shield throughout Scripture. If you've ever wrestled with fear, unbelief, or wondered how to trust God when life feels uncertain, this episode will encourage you to stop standing exposed and begin hiding yourself in the God who is faithful, trustworthy, and able to extinguish every flaming dart hurled your way.

    #100 "The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace" (Ephesians 6:15b)

    "And, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace." (Ephesians 6:15b) In this episode, Kate continues The Armor series in Ephesians 6 to discover why the "shoes of the readiness of the gospel of peace" are far more than a beautiful metaphor—but the very foundation that enables believers to stand firm. In this milestone 100th episode of The Abidible Podcast (which is now...YES! also on VIDEO!), Kate explores what it truly means to be grounded in the gospel. Together you'll trace the story of Scripture to see how sin separated us from God, why we were once His enemies, and how Jesus Christ reconciled us to the Father through His death and resurrection. As you gain a deeper understanding of the gospel, you'll also gain a deeper appreciation for the peace Christ purchased for you. This episode will help you stand in greater confidence, worship Jesus with fresh gratitude, and remember that lasting peace isn't found in your circumstances—it's found in the finished work of Christ. Whether you've followed The Armor series from the beginning or you're joining for the first time, this conversation will help you see the gospel with fresh eyes and equip you to stand firm in your faith.

    #098 "The Breastplate of Righteousness" (Ephesians 6:14b)

    "...and having put on the breastplate of righteousness." (Eph. 6:14b) What does it actually mean to be righteous—and who gets to decide? In this episode, host Kate tackles one of the most uncomfortable and important questions we can ask: if our world rejects absolute truth and every religion defines goodness differently, how can anyone know what “right living” even is? Together, we explore how our definition of righteousness always flows from our definition of God—and why competing worldviews lead to radically different standards for what is good, just, and true. We’ll look honestly at cultural morality, self-defined righteousness, world religions, and the Bible’s claim that God alone has the authority to define righteousness because He alone is perfectly righteous. But this episode doesn’t stop at diagnosis—it ends in hope. You’ll discover why Scripture says our own righteousness can never save us, what the breastplate of righteousness actually protects us from, and the breathtaking truth that in Christ, God offers us the righteousness we could never earn. If you’ve ever wondered: How do I know what’s truly right? Is being a good person enough? Why does truth matter? What if my definition of goodness is wrong? How can I stand before a holy God? This episode will challenge your assumptions, deepen your understanding of Ephesians 6, and invite you to consider the only righteousness that can truly save.

    #097 "The Belt of Truth" (Ephesians 6:14a)

    "Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth..." (Ephesians 6:14a) In this episode of The Abidible Podcast, host Kate takes you deep into Ephesians 6:14a to uncover why the “belt of truth” is far more essential than most Christians realize. If you’ve ever felt spiritually exhausted, easily discouraged, vulnerable to lies, stuck in compromise, or unsure how to actually stand firm in your faith, this episode will help you understand why. Using the powerful picture of physical core weakness and recovery, Kate reveals how the belt of truth functions as the spiritual core support for every believer. Together, you’ll explore the Old Testament roots of the armor of God, what it really means to “gird up your loins,” and why truth is the very first piece of armor Paul tells us to put on. More importantly, you’ll walk away with practical, biblical ways to strengthen your spiritual core by saturating your life in God’s Word. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the belt of truth is foundational to all the other armor, The difference between the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit, How Satan primarily attacks through deception and half-truths, Why “wrapping yourself in truth” changes how you live, think, and fight, How abiding in Scripture strengthens your discernment, endurance, and stability, and Practical ways to fasten on the belt of truth every day. If you want to become harder to deceive, stronger in spiritual battle, more grounded in truth, and more equipped to stand firm in Christ, this episode is for you.

    #096 "How to Stand When the Evil Day Comes" (Ephesians 6:13)

    "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." (Ephesians 6:13) In Episode #096 of The Abidible Podcast, host Kate walks word-by-word through Ephesians 6:13 to reveal what it truly means to “stand firm in the evil day.”  This is not a shallow conversation about “spiritual warfare,” but a deeply biblical look at the unseen battle raging behind the scenes of human history—from the serpent in Eden, to the giants in the land, to David standing before Goliath, to Christ triumphing over Satan at the cross.  With rich biblical theology, powerful gospel connections, and practical application for believers today, listeners will gain a clearer understanding of the armor of God, the reality of demonic opposition, the sovereignty of God over evil, and the courage Christians can have because Jesus has already won the ultimate victory.  This episode helps believers see that their battles are never merely physical or circumstantial—and that standing firm begins by standing in Christ Himself.

    #095 "God's Devil" (Ephesians 6:12)

    "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12) What if the struggle you feel every day isn’t just emotional… relational… or circumstantial? What if it’s spiritual? In this episode, Kate walks verse-by-verse through Ephesians 6:12 and gently—but boldly—pulls back the curtain on the unseen reality Scripture has been revealing all along. This isn’t about fear. It’s about clarity. Because when we don’t understand the battle, we won’t be prepared to stand in it. Together, you’ll explore: Why the Bible is far more supernatural than we often realize, How Paul’s firsthand experiences in the spiritual realm give weight to his words, What it actually means that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, The organized, strategic nature of the enemy—and why that matters for you, And most importantly, how the finished work of Christ completely reframes the fight.  This episode will ground you in truth, steady your heart, and remind you that while the battle is real… it is nothing to fear. Because in Christ, the victory has already been won. If this episode encourages you, consider supporting the show or becoming an abidible+ member through Buy Me a Coffee (linked below).

    #094 "Put it On Isn't a Checklist -- It's an Identity" (Ephesians 6:11)

    "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." (Eph. 6:11) What if the reason you feel unprepared for spiritual battle… isn’t because you don’t know enough—but because you haven’t fully put it on? In this episode, host Kate steps into Ephesians 6:11 and uncover what it really means to “put on the whole armor of God.” This isn’t a surface-level habit or a spiritual checklist—it’s an invitation into full immersion in Christ. Using a powerful picture of what it feels like to be completely immersed in a different world, we begin to see what Paul is actually calling us into: not casual Christianity, but identity-level transformation. You’ll learn: Why “putting on” the armor is far more active and personal than we often think, How the enemy strategically works through deception, distraction, and distortion, What it means to live from your position in Christ—not just know about it, and Why many of us feel spiritually unsteady… and how to begin standing firm.  If you’ve ever felt unsure how to actually live out your faith in the middle of real struggles, this episode will help you move from simply hearing truth… to stepping into it. Because the battle is real. But so is the victory—and the armor you’ve been given to stand.
