   26. Armor of God: The Breastplate of Righteousness When Old Triggers Won't Let Go

   Do you ever feel like you're one comment away from losing it? You promise yourself you've left that version of you behind, and then six o'clock hits and there she is again. If you're ready to break the cycle of reacting first and repenting later, this one is for you. In week two of our Armor of God series, we're putting on the breastplate of righteousness. We'll look at why scripture tells us to guard our hearts above all else, what righteousness really means, and why Paul describes it not as armor but as a weapon of war. Righteousness is a weapon the enemy wants to use against us: in how we parent our kids, how we love our husbands, and how we compare ourselves to our sisters. Today we take it back. In this episode, you'll learn:- Why the heart needs guarding, and what scripture says about where our reactions really come from- How righteousness grows through sanctification, and why it's ours to pursue- Three practical ways to break the trigger cycle: get real, get in the Word, and get practical- How drawing near to God makes old triggers lose their grip, not because you got stronger, but because you got closer Scriptures mentioned: Proverbs 4:23, Proverbs 14:10, Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:21-23, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Corinthians 6:2-7, Romans 6:13, James 4:7-8 Resources mentioned:- First 5 app: https://first5.org/- BEMA Podcast: https://www.bemadiscipleship.com/ Go deeper: This series is drawn from my book, Swords Up: Mastering the Weapons of Spiritual Warfare for Today's Christian Woman.

   25. Armor of God For Moms: How The Belt of Truth Anchors Biblical Motherhood

   Do you end your days feeling like you came up short, even when nothing actually went wrong? Does your to-do list for being a "good mom" never seem to get shorter? This week kicks off a seven-week series on the Armor of God, based on my book Swords Up: Mastering the Weapons of Spiritual Warfare for Today's Christian Woman. Grab your copy here: https://a.co/d/0e8MJtoL We're starting where Paul started: the belt of truth. I used to think the belt was just an accessory. Then I learned what it meant to a Roman soldier. His belt held his sword at his side and kept his breastplate in place. Without it, the rest of his armor didn't work. The same is true for us. We'll unpack what it means to gird ourselves with truth, and why every other piece of your armor hangs on one truth: Jesus Christ is Lord. Then we'll put the world's version of motherhood, the boss babe, PTA mom, and picture-perfect-bento-box standard, side by side with biblical motherhood. Through Matthew 11:28, John 17:14, and Galatians 5, you'll see that God never handed you a to-do list. The fruit He promises isn't something you achieve. It's something that grows when you stay close to Him. You'll leave with one question to take into your week: where in your motherhood have you been holding back from the Lord? Because He's either Lord over everything, or He isn't. Next week, we're putting on the breastplate of righteousness.

   24. Overspending Is Stealing Your Financial Stability- Here's How To Win It Back

   Do you make decent money but still have no idea where it goes? Does it feel like your paycheck evaporates the moment it hits your account? In this episode, I'm getting real about a habit that kept my bank account in the red in my twenties: a constant stream of shoes, clothes, and handbags I couldn't afford but couldn't stop buying. I'll walk you through the loop I was stuck in, the lie, the grab, and the emptiness, and why every purchase left me hungrier than before. This isn't a budgeting episode. It's a heart episode. Through Genesis 3 and Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well in John 4, we'll uncover why nothing you buy can fill a God-sized hole, and why my real problem was never money. It was that I didn't have enough God in my life. You'll walk away with three steps to break the overspending loop and win back your financial stability from the inside out: radically pursue God, invite Him into the places you ache, and honor Him with your tithe (yes, we're talking Malachi 3:10). If your money keeps slipping through your fingers, this one's for you, mama. Sign up for my newsletter here! https://jpharrington.com/insider/DM here: https://www.instagram.com/jananyaharrington/
