Real-Time Battles & The Power of Surrender | BONUS EPISODE

 In this raw and transparent bonus episode, Travis and Adelle follow up on their most popular topic: The Third Layer of Deception—Our Thoughts. Adelle steps into a moment of deep vulnerability, correcting a previous statement about her own mental battles and sharing the "game on" reality of spiritual warfare. They also dive into a live Q&A, addressing topics from addiction and identity to how to reconnect with God when you feel alone.

Inside the Episode

• The "Game On" Moment: Adelle shares how a moment of perceived strength in her thoughts was met with an intense week of mental attacks. She discusses the importance of staying humble and recognizing that no one is "above" the enemy's tactics.

• The Three-Part Human: Travis breaks down the biblical anatomy of a person, explaining how the Spirit, Soul, and Body interact. He emphasizes that while our Spirit may be willing, our Soul (mind, will, and emotions) and Body often drag us toward old patterns.

• Agreements with Hell: Adelle explains that believing a lie is more than just a "bad thought"—it is making an "agreement" that gives the enemy a foothold in your life.

• The Power of Small Wins: Dealing with a lack of motivation or discipline? The couple discusses starting with "micro-habits," like drinking water first thing in the morning or moving your alarm clock across the room, to build momentum against spiritual oppression.

Live Q&A Highlights

One viewer shared how betrayal reinforced a childhood lie of being "unworthy." Adelle and Travis discuss how betrayal often "presses the lie" deeper into the heart, but healing comes from rewriting that heart with God's truth (referencing Psalm 46:5 and Luke 1:45).

For those feeling isolated in their faith, Travis suggests:

• Acknowledge the Hide: Just like Adam and Eve, we tend to hide when we feel shame.

• Start Small: Download a Bible app, do a daily devotional, and start a "letter to God" journal.

• Wait for the Response: Prayer is a conversation. Spend time sitting in silence after you pray to listen.

Addressing "objectification addiction," the couple and community member Kenny discuss how shame is the primary fuel for addiction. They clarify that the betrayer's actions are a result of their own heart issues, not a reflection of the spouse’s worth.
