This devotional is offered as many process difficult revelations and conversations circulating in the news, including discussions around the Epstein files…

As difficult information circulates and conversations grow louder, many of us are carrying questions, grief, and even fear. This episode is an invitation to respond differently, not by turning away, but by turning toward the light that anchors us.

Together, we reflect on what Scripture reminds us so clearly: the spirit of fear is not from God. When darkness is revealed, we are not called to shrink or spiral, but to stand rooted in truth, prayer, and love.

Inside this spiritual toolkit, I share gentle reminders for protecting your heart and mind, including the importance of stepping away from the noise to refill your spiritual cup, being mindful of where you place your attention, and remembering that peace is something we actively cultivate.

We talk about the commandment against idolatry and how easily fear can become something we unknowingly give power to. I also share encouragement to spend as much time nourishing your spirit as you do staying informed, and how taking breaks from social media can help quiet the internal storm.

You’ll hear a prayer for protection and peace over your home, calling on God’s presence to cover your mind, your family, and your space. And we spend time in Psalm 37, a beautiful reminder that goodness, justice, and faithfulness endure even when the world feels unsettled.

At the beginning of the episode, I share an important update about the direction of the podcast. In this season, I feel called to lean more deeply into devotional reflections rooted in Scripture and spiritual wisdom, creating a space centered on hope, unity, and spiritual grounding. While guest conversations have been meaningful, this moment is inviting a return to stillness and listening for what God is doing in quieter ways.

My prayer is that this episode feels like a deep breath… a reminder that light is never overcome by darkness, and that we are invited to be carriers of peace wherever we go.

If you’re feeling weary, you are not alone. Let this be a moment to pause, reconnect, and remember that love remains stronger than fear.
