Stepping In Faith

• Season One Finale: Rest

  What does it truly mean to rest in God? Not the physical rest that comes with sleep, but the spiritual posture that brings freedom from anxiety, worry, and the weight of trying to control everything in your life.In this powerful season finale, we explore the concept of spiritual rest as Jesus described it in Matthew 11:28-30. When Christ invites us to "take my yoke upon you," He's offering a divine partnership where our burdens become lighter because we're no longer carrying them alone. The yoke, historically used to unite two animals pulling together, becomes a beautiful metaphor for how we move through life connected to our Savior.We examine how many have mistaken our spiritual address, treating God's presence as a vacation spot rather than our permanent dwelling place. Psalm 91 reminds us that those who "live in the shelter of the Most High" find genuine rest, not those who merely visit occasionally. Mary, mother of Jesus, demonstrates perfect spiritual rest when she accepts God's seemingly impossible word without questioning how it could happen.The challenge for modern believers is learning to surrender control, embracing childlike faith rather than analyzing everything through our limited understanding. True rest produces remarkable fruit: peace beyond comprehension, clarity of purpose, and freedom from striving. Yet this rest requires protection through daily spiritual vigilance and breaking agreements with doubt.Whether you're carrying burdens of anxiety, struggling with hearing God's voice clearly, or battling to believe His promises for your life, this episode offers both theological insights and practical wisdom for finding genuine rest in Him.Join us as we conclude Season One and prepare for a three-month hiatus before returning with fresh insights.

• No Longer Bound

  What does it truly mean to be free from sin? Not just managing it, not just struggling against it, but genuinely free? In this deeply reflective episode, Walter and Shanea confront a paradox many believers face: calling Christ "Lord" while remaining enslaved to sinful patterns.Drawing from Romans 7 and 8, they explore how many Christians live as if they're still bound, unaware that Christ has already provided the key to freedom. The conversation dives into the profound difference between religion and relationship, where religion focuses on external behaviors, believing outward actions change who we are inwardly, while relationship with God works from the inside out, transforming desires, which naturally results in changed behavior."We confuse struggling with sin as a form of godly suffering," Walter notes, "but true evidence of God's power is freedom from sin." This statement challenges the common misconception that constant battle with temptation is the normal Christian experience, when Scripture promises transformation through the Holy Spirit's power.The hosts tackle how our preferences and "types" are often shaped by worldly experiences rather than God's design. They invite listeners to surrender these preferences, asking, "God, what do you want for me?" instead of imposing our limited vision on God's perfect plan. This surrender becomes the pathway to experiencing authentic freedom, where we're no longer driven by fleshly desires but guided by the Spirit.Are you living as if you're still in chains when Christ has already set you free? This episode will help you identify areas where you might still be walking in the flesh rather than the Spirit, and equip you with practical insights to embrace the freedom Christ died to give you. Join Walter and Shania as they share vulnerably from their transformation journey and invite you to experience true freedom in Christ.

• What God Joined Together: Part Two

  A powerful spiritual awakening unfolds as Walter and Shanea share Part 2 of their extraordinary testimony. Their story begins with a seven-month separation that God used to transform their hearts before orchestrating their reunion through supernatural means.Walter reveals how God confronted him about seeking everyone's opinion on his relationship except God's own. This divine intervention led to a series of prophetic dreams and visions about Shanea, including one where angels declared it was time for their reunion. Meanwhile, Shanea struggled with skepticism despite feeling drawn back to Walter after a horrifying supernatural encounter in her home, where her daughter saw a demonic snake trying to attack her.The turning point came when Walter arrived at Shanea's home to pray against these demonic forces. Without knowing what had happened, Walter spiritually discerned the same snake entity trying to wrap around his arm during prayer. This dramatic spiritual warfare culminated in Shanea's deliverance from ancestral worship practices and new age spirituality she had been involved with, leading to her salvation and their eventual marriage.Their testimony challenges conventional wisdom about relationships, revealing how both had previously married partners God never intended for them. These misaligned unions had perpetuated generational curses and spiritual bondage in their lives. Now united in a God-ordained marriage, they've discovered an authentic intimacy and spiritual alignment that feels supernatural yet completely natural.Walter and Shanea now minister to others about God's design for marriage—complete transparency, shared resources, and proper spiritual order where both spouses submit to Christ first. Their journey demonstrates how surrendering to God's perfect will, however uncomfortable initially, leads to fulfillment beyond what personal preferences could ever provide.

• What God Joined Together: Part One

  Have you ever experienced a connection with someone that defied logical explanation? Our testimony reveals how God orchestrated a meeting between two unlikely people, creating an unbreakable spiritual bond that neither of us initially wanted nor understood.In this raw and vulnerable episode, we share the remarkable journey of our God-ordained relationship. From our first encounter at an apartment complex parcel locker to the supernatural events that eventually led to our marriage, our story demonstrates how divine orchestration often operates beyond human understanding and timing.What makes this testimony particularly powerful is that neither of us was immediately attracted to the other in the conventional sense. Walter describes being drawn to "something inside" me rather than my outward appearance, while I actively resisted any relationship after emerging from an abusive marriage. We take you through the challenging period of separation where Walter experienced intense spiritual encounters – regular dreams, visions, and even the audible voice of God repeatedly confirming that I was his wife.This episode dives deep into spiritual warfare, unconditional love, and the biblical truth that a man's ministry begins with his wife and family. We share how God used our relationship to facilitate healing, spiritual growth, and ultimately establish a foundation for our shared purpose. The supernatural events that brought us back together after months of resistance reveal God's persistent work even when we fight against His divine plan.Whether you're single, dating, married, or questioning God's design for relationships altogether, our testimony offers hope that sometimes what appears as incompatibility or resistance might actually be part of a greater divine orchestration. Subscribe now and share this episode with someone who needs encouragement that God is still in the business of writing love stories that transcend human understanding.

• Lust of the Eye

  What begins as a harmless glance can become a destructive obsession when left unchecked. Walter and Shanea explore the profound biblical concept of "lust of the eye" and how it extends far beyond sexual temptation to encompass any uncontrolled craving that diverts our focus from God.The hosts dismantle the common misconception that lust is exclusively about sexual desire, revealing how this spiritual principle applies to obsessions with wealth, power, relationships, and even seemingly innocent pursuits. By examining 1 John 2:16, they demonstrate how the enemy has employed the same strategy since the Garden of Eden, appealing to our flesh, our eyes, and our pride to lead us away from God's best.With remarkable insight, the conversation traces how unchecked desire inevitably leads to spiritual perversion—not just sexual perversion, but a distortion of God's original intentions for our lives. Looking at Eve's temptation, Jesus' wilderness testing, and Job's covenant with his eyes, the hosts establish a powerful pattern visible throughout scripture.Perhaps most challenging is their exploration of modern idolatry. Walter and Shanea identify how the ancient gods mentioned in scripture represented the same things people worship today, just packaged differently. Your car, career, relationship, or even family can become an idol when it takes precedence over your relationship with God. The critical question they pose: "What would you refuse to give up if God asked you to?"The episode concludes with practical wisdom for believers seeking to guard their spiritual vision in a visually overwhelming culture. Every desire not submitted to God becomes a seed that, when watered, bears fruit—either fleshly or spiritual.
