Are You Still Standing?

What if the fact that you’re still in the battle doesn’t mean you’re losing? Sometimes we’re so focused on wanting the struggle to disappear that we miss what God has already strengthened in us. In Episode 5 of Behind Enemy Lines, we return to Ephesians 6 and take a closer look at one simple instruction Paul repeats: stand. We’ll talk about the difference between standing and striving, why resistance doesn’t always mean the struggle stops, and how spiritual growth can show up in the way someth

What Are You Hungry For?

Temptation doesn’t always look like something obviously wrong. Sometimes, it looks like relief, comfort, attention—or even something you genuinely need. In this episode of Behind Enemy Lines, we’re looking at what Scripture teaches us about how temptation works and why our most vulnerable moments can make the wrong thing look surprisingly reasonable. Through Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and James’ teaching about our own desires, we’ll explore why recognizing what we’re hungry for may he

Are You Being Convicted… or Accused?

What if the accusation against you contains some truth? You messed up. You knew better. Maybe you even said you’d never do it again. So when that failure comes back to mind, how do you know whether God is convicting you… or whether the enemy is using something true to lead you toward a verdict God never gave you? In Part 3 of Behind Enemy Lines, we’re looking at accusation—and why Scripture’s description of Satan as “the accuser” matters. Through Peter’s denial of Jesus and his restoration in

What Are You Believing?

What are you believing—and how do you know it’s true? In Part 2 of Behind Enemy Lines, we’re looking at one of the enemy’s oldest strategies: deception. From the Garden of Eden to Jesus in the wilderness, Scripture shows us that deception doesn’t always sound outrageous. Sometimes it sounds close enough to the truth that we stop questioning it. In this episode, Melissa explores how the serpent distorted what God said to Eve, how Satan later used Scripture itself when tempting Jesus, and why d

Who Is Your Enemy, Really?

You know who the enemy is… right? When we think about spiritual warfare, it’s easy to picture something dramatic. But what if the battles that affect us most don’t look dramatic at all? What if they look like distraction? Discouragement? Division? A thought you’ve entertained so many times that you stopped questioning whether it was true? In the Season 4 premiere of My Question for You, Melissa opens a brand-new series, Behind Enemy Lines, with a question every believer needs to consider: Wh

What Would It Look Like to Stop Pretending?

Work-You has it together. Small-Group-You has the right answers. 11 P.M.-You is a different story entirely. We've spent this whole series asking what's underneath the smile — the fear of being seen, the doubt we don't say out loud, the ache of being surrounded by people and still feeling unknown. In this final episode, we bring it all together with the story of Naomi, a woman who lost everything and stopped pretending it was fine. She didn't perform peace she didn't have. She told the truth abo

What's the Point?

When Faithfulness Starts to Feel Empty There is a version of tired that doesn't announce itself. It doesn't come after a crisis. It doesn't follow a dramatic failure or a visible breakdown. It shows up quietly, after a long stretch of doing everyt…

Why Is This Taking So Long?

When Waiting Starts to Feel Heavy There is a kind of waiting that slowly wears on you. Not the kind where you expect an answer soon, but the kind where time stretches beyond what you anticipated. The kind where you find yourself checking less ofte…

Why Me?

Why Me? There's a question most of us have asked at some point. Sometimes it slips out as frustration. Sometimes it surfaces in a quiet moment we didn't see coming. Sometimes it shows up wrapped in tears we didn't expect to cry. Why me? It's one…
