In this episode of This is Crazy, Bri and TJ tackle a critical topic: how to fight against the enemy. Spoiler alert—he’s not as clever as we sometimes think! The enemy repeatedly uses the same old tactics to trip us up, but by recognizing his patterns, we can stand firm and resist.

Scripture References (MSG):

• Ephesians 6:11 – And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no weekend war that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

• Romans 12:2 – So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

• 1 Peter 5:8-11 – Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.

Key Takeaways:

1. Set boundaries, maintain them, and be aware of your triggers. Protect your heart and mind by knowing where your weaknesses lie and guarding them.

2. Do not manufacture miracles. Trust God’s timing and avoid the temptation to force outcomes that are not in His plan.

3. Remember your foundation. Stay grounded in God’s Word and His promises, especially when life gets tough.

This episode is packed with practical advice and spiritual truths to help you break free from the enemy’s repetitive cycles and walk confidently in God’s purpose for your life.

In Part 2 of our "Crashing Out" series, we’re pulling back the curtain on the raw and vulnerable moments of our crashouts—when our carefully crafted plans came face-to-face with God’s perfect will. In God is Not Funny, we explore what it means to truly surrender to God and trust Him with our lives.

• Proverbs 19:21 – “We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails.”
• Ephesians 1:11-12 – “It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living.”
• James 5:8 – “The Master could arrive at any time.”
• Hebrews 6:19 – “We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline.”

Key Discussion Points:

In this episode of This is Crazy, we’re diving into what we like to call " the art of crashing out"—those moments when disappointment hits hard because God's timing doesn't align with our own plans. We get real about our personal struggles with impatience, unmet expectations, and the lessons we've learned when we’ve tried to rush ahead of His perfect will.

Using Scripture as our guide—Isaiah 60:22, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, and Philippians 1:6—we reflect on the importance of trusting God's timing, embracing seasons of waiting, and finding peace in knowing that His plans for us are good, even when they don't make sense in the moment.

Grab a seat and join us as we unpack the art of navigating disappointment with faith, humor, and hope. Let’s grow together as we learn to wait well.

Tune in now and let us know your thoughts!

Boundaries for this podcast:

Be honest - We have committed ourselves to embracing vulnerability--not just on this podcast, but also in life. You may not decide to hop into the chat and be vulnerable in the comments, but we do ask that you make a decision to be honest with yourself and most importantly with God.

Be open - You may agree with some things we say and other things, you may not. However, as we speak our truth and God’s truth, we want you to be open to receive.

Be a partner - Participate! We have learned that life and community only works if you work it. We are going to entertain ourselves regardless, but we want you to engage with us.

Be yourself - Come as you are because we most certainly will be ourselves, 10 toes down, 100% of the time.

Be bless (no ed, no eth, no ing)
