  • 123. A Beautiful Invitation (BoBB)
    Sep 12 2025

    Welcome to Episode 123 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about Jesus' guest list for a banquet or feast. To be honest, creating a guest list for a family member's wedding with this in mind would be rather difficult. But I guess that's the point of many of His commands. They're not supposed to be easy.

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.

    Seek Beauty.

  • 122. Does Chronic Illness Diminish Your Worth? Your Purpose? | Allison Brown
    Sep 9 2025

    Welcome to Episode 122 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    It's {almost} fall. I really enjoyed the Summer Rewind over the last ten weeks. It was wonderful to revisit these conversations.

    Now I want to introduce you to Allison Brown. She shares - from across the continents - her story of chronic illness that started when she was a child. It's been 30 years.

    Over the last 30 years, she has battled the illness itself, but, in addition, the side effects that accompany her illness: anxiety, depression, and more.

    This conversation is something many of us can relate to, plus, it's one that can help us learn to respond with compassion when someone is dealing with a situation we may not understand.

  • 121. Holy Spirit Beauty (BoBB)
    Sep 5 2025

    Welcome to Episode 121 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about the Beauty of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was the part of the Trinity that I honestly didn't pay much attention to, and then I wondered why I didn't hear from God... Let's talk about the gifts of free will and the Holy Spirit's guidance.

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.
