What does it mean to have your feet “sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace” (Ephesians 6:15)?

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, we continue our Armor of God series by unpacking the biblical meaning of the gospel of peace and how it steadies us in seasons of anxiety, hurry, and uncertainty.

This is not peace that comes from perfect circumstances. This is peace that flows from the good news of Jesus — reconciliation with God, security in Christ, and firm footing for daily life.

We’ll talk about:

• The meaning of the shoes of peace in the Armor of God

• How peace and mind renewal (Romans 12:2) work together

• Why rushing often leads to unnecessary “stings” — both spiritually and emotionally

• Practical steps for walking steadily in Christ

If you’re battling anxious thoughts or feeling spiritually unsteady, this episode will gently guide you back to the firm ground of the gospel.

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, we continue our gentle Armor of God series by focusing on the Belt of Truth from Ephesians 6 — and how God’s truth steadies us when anxious thoughts and long-held lies rise to the surface.

Many of us struggle with thoughts that feel familiar and convincing: I’m not enough. I always fail. I don’t have what it takes. These lies often take root early in life and quietly shape how we see ourselves, God, and our calling.

Together, we explore how the Armor of God speaks directly to anxious thoughts, reminding us that our battle is not against ourselves or others — but against the lies of the enemy. God invites us to stand firm, not by striving harder, but by fastening ourselves to truth.

Lisa shares a personal story from the lavender field — wrestling with doubt, peace, and identity — and how God gently reminded her that peace is not something we produce, but something we receive through Christ.

We also reflect on:

• How lies form and why they feel so believable

• Why speaking God’s Word out loud matters

• How Scripture renews our minds over time (Romans 12:2, CSB)

• What it practically looks like to “fasten the belt of truth” in daily life

This episode is a quiet invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and allow God’s truth to gently reshape anxious thoughts — one moment at a time.

Scriptures referenced: Ephesians 6:10–18, Isaiah 26:3, Romans 12:2 (CSB)
