Can Satan hear your prayers? Can he block or manipulate what you ask God to do? In this episode, we answer one of the most searched questions about spiritual warfare and prayer: Is Satan omniscient—and does he have power over your prayer life? If you’ve ever felt anxiety about praying out loud or wondered whether the enemy can sidetrack your prayers, this biblical teaching will bring clarity and confidence.  Scripture makes clear that only God is all-knowing (1 John 3: 20; Proverbs 15: 3; Isaiah 40: 13–14). Satan is powerful—but limited—and his defeat is certain (Revelation 20: 10; Matthew 25: 41). We explore Ephesians 6 and 2 Corinthians 10 to understand why prayer is spiritual warfare—and how spoken prayer partners you with Christ rather than empowering the enemy.  

In this episode: 

– Can Satan hear my prayers?

 – Can the enemy block or delay God’s answers?

 – How does spiritual warfare actually work?

 – Should Christians fear praying out loud? 

 If you want to pray with confidence instead of fear, this episode will help you rest in God’s sovereignty.

Why do some of our prayers seem to go unanswered—temporarily, long-term, or forever? How do we keep praying when answers are delayed or don't look the way we hoped?  In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: understanding God's responses to prayer when they don't match our expectations.  

In this episode, we examine: 

✓ What does "ask anything and it will be yours" really mean? (Mark 11:24, John 15:7) 

✓ The difference between prosperity gospel and biblical prayer 

✓ Why faith isn't about "believing hard enough" 

✓ Four reasons God delays or denies prayer requests 

✓ How to trust God's character when prayers aren't answered 

✓ The supernatural work happening behind our prayers 

✓ Praying with persistence through long seasons of waiting  

If you've ever felt discouraged by unanswered prayer, this episode will help you pray with faith and hope—even in the waiting.

How do you pray God's will—without trying to control the outcome?  In this episode, we break down what Scripture actually teaches about the will of God and how to pray in alignment with His truth and character. Learn the difference between bold, biblical prayer and self-centered or "manifesting" language, and discover how God's will is revealed through His Word—not guesswork.  

If you're a woman seeking clarity, confidence, and depth in your prayer life, this teaching will help you pray with boldness, humility, and trust.  

In this episode, we examine: 

✓ What is the will of God? (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Micah 6:8) 

✓ How to discern God's will through a renewed mind 

✓ The difference between praying boldly and praying selfishly 

✓ Why God doesn't always give us a "blueprint" for decisions 

✓ How to pray freely without fear of getting it "wrong" 

✓ Biblical prayer vs. manifestation theology

What if God can do more without your hustle than with it? Lisa Fields of the Jude 3 Project shares her journey from workaholic apologist to discovering that God doesn't need our striving—He wants our trust, our healed hearts, and our willingness to rest in His sufficiency. 

💡 Key Scripture: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders' labor is in vain... He grants sleep to those he loves." - Psalm 127:1-2 

The Big Truth: God doesn't need your hustle. Rest isn't avoidance or vacation—it's a posture of complete trust in God. When we truly rest in Him, He does what our striving never could, without the soul-damaging side effects.

💭 Reflection Questions: Are you so busy doing God's work that you're not meeting with God? What "dead grass" has been buried in your heart while you kept moving? Do you like being the hero? What does that feed in your insecurity? Can you sleep in peace, or is it just avoidance? What would it look like to trust God enough to rest?  

⏰ Practical Steps to Rest:  Daily Silence: Start with centering prayer (work up to 30 min/day) Weekly Sabbath: Take one full day off - it's commanded, not optional Community: Let your friends be your friends (get off the pedestal) Healing: Let God show you your heart and do the work of healing

This incredible testimony from Verity Conference 2024 will transform how you think about everyday evangelism. Leila shares her powerful story from Muslim family to Christian ministry, and reveals the four practical ways we can all carry God's Kingdom into our daily lives. 

Four Ways to Carry the Kingdom:  

- Pursue Kingdom Priorities - Aligning your agenda with heaven's agenda 

- Possess Kingdom Mysteries - Bringing "kingdom souvenirs" to others 

- Assume Kingdom Posture - Childlike faith and dependence on God 

- Release Kingdom Power - Holy Spirit power through everyday conversations  

The Dentist Story: How a simple conversation during a dental appointment led to a complete life transformation - from curious patient to worship team member in under a year.  

Key Scripture: Acts 17:6-7 - "These men who have turned the world upside down"  

🎥 About This Session: From Verity Conference 2024 featuring Leila, who traveled from Australia to Northern Michigan. She represents the diversity we seek - different backgrounds, marital status, and cultural perspectives that show how the Gospel applies across all walks of life.

💭 Discussion Questions:  What Kingdom priorities need to align in your life? How can you start "kingdom conversations" naturally? Who in your world is waiting for the Gospel?  This session proves that carrying God's Kingdom isn't about big platforms - it's about faithful conversations in dentist chairs, neighborhoods, and everyday encounters.

This powerful conference session connects directly to our previous episode about our 5-month podcast break. While the last episode shared the "happy ending" of our infertility journey with baby Olivera's birth, this session was recorded in the middle of that same story - during failed fertility treatments with no promise of resolution.

 In This Session:

• The demon-possessed man's story from Mark 5
• Why Jesus intentionally enters our broken stories
• How sharing your story defeats the enemy

Breaking through 4 lies that keep us silent:

• "My story is insignificant" → Your story has IMPACT
• "My story is a trigger" → Your story TRANSFORMS
•  "My story is intimidating" → Your story is INTIMATE 
• "My story needs a happy ending" → Your story proclaims God's goodness NOW  

The Connection: This session shows what it looks like to live out faith in real time during trials, before knowing how God will answer our prayers. It's the theological foundation for everything we shared in our previous episode about living out theology in pain.  

📖 Scripture Focus: Mark 5:1-20 - The healing of the demon-possessed man

💭 Discussion Questions:  What story is God calling you to share? Which of the 4 lies resonates most with you? How can unfinished stories still glorify God?  

Note: This session discusses miscarriage, infertility, and child safety concerns. Viewer discretion advised.

After an unexpected 5-month podcast break, we're back with our most vulnerable episode yet. While Every Woman A Theologian kept going, we had to pause the podcast to navigate some of life's biggest challenges. What does it look like to live out theology in the middle of pain and difficulty? Here's the real story of why we stepped back from podcasting and how we've had to practice what we preach in our darkest moments.  

In This Episode:

• Living Out Theology in Real Life
• Why we paused the podcast
• Walking through secondary infertility and loss
• Balancing ministry travel with family crisis
• A prophetic dream that sustained our faith
• Getting ready to meet our miracle baby
• The ministry work that continued behind the scenes

🙏 Prayer Requests: Pray for baby Olivera as we welcome her into our family, and for wisdom as we navigate this new season of ministry.  

📅 What's Coming:

• Verity Conference 2024 session reruns
• Verity Conference 2025: October 3-4 (online)
• Returning to Ancient Heresies podcast series
