Praying in the Spirit: What It Is, How to Start and Why It Matters | Ephesians 6:18
What does it actually mean to pray in the Spirit? In the final episode of their Ephesians series, Rachel and Amy land on Ephesians 6:18 and ask the question most of us have wondered: how do you know you're praying in the Spirit and not just saying stuff?
They talk honestly and practically about the gift of tongues. What it feels like. How you start. Why it can seem strange at first and why that shouldn't put you off. Rachel shares what happened when her son was born and the room suddenly went from serene to panic, and Amy describes reaching for tongues like a machine gun every time fear comes knocking.
They also explore what it looks like to shift from praying your will to praying God's will, and why letting go of your own agenda in prayer is more powerful than you'd think.

We're in the final section of Ephesians. Sit, walk, stand. This is the stand.
In part 21 of their Ephesians series, Rachel and Amy work through the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10-17, asking what it actually means to put it on. Not as a metaphor to admire, but as a daily reality to live in.
They talk about why the battle is never with flesh and blood, what it looks like to recognise spiritual attack in ordinary life, and why every single piece of armour points back to the same thing: not try harder, but surrender. Dependence. Letting God be God.

Episode 20

What does it actually mean to walk as children of light? Rachel and Amy unpack what it means to imitate God, not as a rulebook, but as a family resemblance.
They talk honestly about goodness, righteousness, and truth: what each one looks like lived out, why goodness can feel like an offence to people stuck in darkness, and why letting God's light expose what's hidden is harder than it sounds. Rachel shares a personal moment of bringing an unfinished struggle into the light rather than pretending she'd arrived. It's a vulnerable, grounded conversation about what it costs, and what it gives back, to actually live like you belong to the light.
