How Does the Holy Spirit Change Us

In episode #35 of A Faithful God Podcast, we continue to uncover the power we’ve been given through the Holy Spirit and how He changes us.

If you haven’t had an opportunity to listen to part one and two of this series, I highly recommend putting this episode on hold and check out, Who is the Holy Spirit and How is the Holy Spirit Relevant in Your Life first.

As we dive into a few verses in 2 Corinthians today, we’re going to uncover where our transformation comes from and how to draw from Him.

Spoiler alert! It all comes through The Holy Spirit, but I bet you already guessed that!

I could talk for hours about The Spirit because it’s where the transformation in our life begins!

When we say we want to…

  • Live FOR Jesus
  • Live LIKE Jesus
  • Love like Jesus

…we learn just how to do that through The Spirit!

Pretty incredible, right?

And it’s when we’re changed into the image of Christ, that we can uncover our purpose in life and how we can experience a joy-filled life that isn’t controlled by our circumstances.

Join me for today’s show as we discover how to step out in faith and live like Jesus!

Why Do I Keep Starting Over With God?

October 16, 2026

Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start again with God next week.”

Maybe you used to start your mornings with prayer, but lately your Bible has stayed closed and you feel like you’re constantly trying to catch up with God.

Maybe life has started demanding more than usual.

The kids need to be picked up, dinner still needs to be made and the laundry pile is growing faster than you can fold it. And by the time you finally sit down at the end of the day, you’re too exhausted to even say a prayer.

At first, you tell yourself you’ll get back to it tomorrow — but tomorrow comes and goes. Then a few more days pass. Before long, missing one day turns into three, then three days turn into a week.

And that’s when the guilt starts creeping in. Before you know it, you’re thinking to yourself, “I’ve failed again.”

Or maybe it’s been longer than a week. Maybe it’s been months — even years — since you really felt close to God, and you’re wondering if starting over is even possible at this point.

Either way, the question underneath is the same. Why do I keep ending up here?

How to Pray for Your Husband When You Don’t Know What to Say

October 9, 2026

You noticed it at dinner.

Your husband was quieter than usual, and when you asked how work went, he said, “Fine.” But you’ve been married long enough to know when fine doesn’t really mean fine.

You knew something was weighing on him — something just felt off.

Later that night, lying beside him in the dark, you wished you knew how to help. So you did the one thing you knew you could do — you prayed, “Lord, help him.”

It was honest and exactly what you wanted God to do. But almost as soon as you said it, you started wondering if you should have said more.

Is that really enough? Shouldn’t I know how to pray for my own husband?

Maybe you’ve joined the 31-day prayer challenges for wives, or you started the prayer book that’s still sitting on your nightstand with a bookmark somewhere around chapter three. You’ve heard other women pray confidently for their husbands, covering everything from his work and health to your husband’s relationships, protection, and spiritual life.

Meanwhile, you’re struggling just to put one sentence together.

And when you love someone this much, it’s easy for that struggle to start feeling like more than simply not knowing what to say. You begin wondering if you’re doing this “right” or whether your prayers for him are making any difference at all.

But sometimes the reason we don’t know what to say isn’t because we have nothing to pray about. It’s because we’ve put so much pressure on ourselves to say the right thing that an honest prayer no longer feels like enough.

So before we talk about what to pray for your husband, I want to take some of that pressure off.

Because learning how to pray for your husband doesn’t begin with finding more powerful words. It begins with understanding what God actually asks of us when we come to Him in prayer.
