🎙️ Episode Title: How the Enemy Uses Your Own Mind Against You – Pastor Vlad Savchuk

In this powerful teaching, Pastor Vlad Savchuk breaks down one of the most overlooked areas of spiritual warfare—the mind. He explains how the enemy subtly introduces thoughts of fear, doubt, anxiety, and discouragement, making them feel like they originate from within. These thoughts, when believed, can shape a person’s mindset and ultimately their life.

Pastor Vlad emphasizes that the enemy’s strategy is deception through repetition—feeding negative patterns until they become internalized. However, believers are not powerless. Through the renewal of the mind and alignment with God’s Word, these strongholds can be broken.

This message reminds us that not every thought belongs to us. Victory begins by identifying lies, rejecting them, and replacing them with truth through Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

🔥 A Time for Courage –

In this powerful and encouraging message, Charles Stanley teaches that courage is not the absence of fear—but the willingness to obey God in spite of it. Drawing from Joshua 1, he reminds us that every believer will face moments that require bold faith, especially when stepping into the unknown.

God’s command to Joshua—“Be strong and courageous”—is the same call for us today. When fear rises, God provides the strength, direction, and assurance we need to move forward in confidence.

• Courage is a choice.
  You can respond to life with fear or with faith—God calls you to choose courage.
• Obedience produces boldness.
  When you live according to God’s Word, confidence and strength naturally follow.
• Remember God’s faithfulness.
  Looking back at how God has carried you through past trials builds courage for today.
• God’s presence removes fear.
  His promise—“I will be with you”—is the foundation of true courage.
• There’s more at stake than you think.
  Your courage impacts your witness, your obedience, and God’s purpose through your life.
• Fear is natural—but not final.
  Even strong believers feel fear, but they choose to trust and obey anyway.

Jaggy and Tedi don’t overthink—they trust, stay close, and move forward. That’s the picture of courage: staying near to God and taking the next step, even when you don’t see the whole path.

• “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you.” — Joshua 1:9
• “God has not given us a spirit of fear…” — 2 Timothy 1:7

Courage doesn’t come from your strength—it comes from your trust in God’s promises.
Face what’s in front of you… and step forward anyway.

Stand strong. Stay faithful. 🔥

🔥 Happy Are the Hurting –

In this deeply comforting message, David Jeremiah unpacks one of the most powerful paradoxes in Scripture: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

While the world teaches us to avoid pain at all costs, Jesus teaches the opposite—true happiness can be found in the midst of sorrow. This message reveals how God uses seasons of grief, loss, and brokenness to draw us closer to Him and produce lasting spiritual strength.

• God blesses the brokenhearted.
  There is a special blessing reserved for those who grieve—God meets them personally in their pain.
• Happiness is not based on circumstances.
  True joy is internal and spiritual, not dependent on what’s happening around you.
• Mourning leads to comfort.
  When you bring your sorrow to God, He replaces it with peace and healing.
• Pain has purpose.
  God can turn sorrow into satisfaction and use it to shape your character and faith.
• God draws closest in suffering.
  Often, it’s in your lowest moments that you experience His presence the strongest.

Jaggy and Tedi stay close when things aren’t right—they don’t run away, they draw near. That’s the lesson for us: when you’re hurting, don’t pull away from God—lean into Him. That’s where the comfort is.

• “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
• “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…” — Psalm 34:18

Hurt is not the end of your story—it’s often where God begins His deepest work.
If you’re hurting today, take heart… your comfort is already on the way.

Peace in the pain. 🔥

🔥 Dealing with Anger – James Merritt

🔗 Listen Now: https://cat81radio.com

In this practical and convicting message, James Merritt addresses one of the most common struggles believers face—anger. He makes it clear that anger itself is not the problem; rather, it’s how we handle it that determines whether it honors God or leads us into sin.

Drawing from Ephesians 4, this message outlines a clear, biblical strategy for dealing with anger before it takes control of your life.

• Anger isn’t always wrong.
  There is such a thing as righteous anger, but it must always remain under control.
• Be angry—but don’t sin.
  The line between right and wrong anger is thin. Uncontrolled anger leads to damage—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.
• Be slow to anger.
  A quick temper is a dangerous sign. God calls us to listen more, speak less, and respond wisely.
• Don’t let anger linger.
  Letting anger sit overnight allows it to grow into bitterness, which can consume your heart.
• Deal with it daily.
  “Clear the books” before the day ends—release anger quickly instead of storing it up.
• Expel stubborn anger.
  If anger takes root, it becomes controlling and opens the door for spiritual defeat.
• Forgiveness is the cure.
  Letting go of bitterness and placing it in God’s hands is the only way to truly overcome anger.

Jaggy and Tedi don’t carry yesterday into today—they rest, reset, and stay close. That’s a picture for us: don’t carry anger forward. Let it go, give it to God, and stay in His peace.

• “Be angry, and do not sin…” — Ephesians 4:26
• “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger… be put away from you.” — Ephesians 4:31
• “Everyone should be… slow to become angry.” — James 1:19

Either you control your anger—or your anger will control you.
With God’s help, you can release it, rise above it, and walk in peace.

In this powerful message, Tony Evans reveals that prayer is not just preparation for the battle—it is the battle itself. Through prayer, believers engage in spiritual warfare, bringing every enemy—seen and unseen—into the presence of God, where true victory is won.

This sermon emphasizes that our enemies are not merely physical, but spiritual strongholds, negative thoughts, and forces that oppose God’s will. The weapons we use are not worldly—they are divine, and they have the power to tear down strongholds and destroy the enemy’s influence.

• Prayer is warfare. It’s not the pregame—it’s where the fight happens.
• Spiritual weapons are powerful. Prayer, the Word, and obedience tear down strongholds.
• Control the battlefield of the mind. Take every thought captive to Christ.
• Victory starts in God’s presence. When you pray, you invite Heaven to intervene.
• God’s way wins. Human strategies fail, but obedience to God brings breakthrough.

Jaggy and Tedi stay close when the storms come—and that’s exactly where we need to be: close to God in prayer. When life heats up and the enemy presses in, the safest place is not retreat—it’s the presence of the Lord.

Show Notes – Courage When Fear Dominates You – David Jeremiah  https://cat81radio.com

In this powerful message, David Jeremiah addresses the reality that fear is something every believer faces—but it was never meant to control us. When fear takes over, it can paralyze our faith, distort our perspective, and keep us from stepping into God’s promises.

Drawing from Psalm 34 and biblical examples like King David, he teaches that the answer to fear is not the absence of it—but a greater reverence and trust in God. When we shift our focus from our fears to the Lord, fear begins to lose its grip on our lives.

Jaggy and Tedi are here in the studio, calm and steady as always—a simple reminder to stay close, stay grounded, and not let fear take over.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear becomes dangerous when it replaces trust in God
• A healthy fear of God overcomes every other fear
• Fear can distort reality and keep you from God’s plan
• You must confront fear honestly—don’t run from it
• Confess fear and replace it with God’s truth
• Stand on God’s promises when fear tries to take hold

Fear may show up—but it doesn’t have to take over. Keep your eyes on God, and you’ll find the courage to move forward.

Show Notes – The Key to Being an Overcomer – Tony Evans  https://cat81radio.com

In this powerful message, Tony Evans explains that an overcomer is someone who lives in victory over the pressures, temptations, and distractions of life by keeping God first. The real battle is not external—it’s internal. It’s overcoming anything that tries to take God out of first place in your life.

He teaches that many believers struggle not because they lack faith, but because they allow priorities, routines, and worldly pressures to push God into second place. True victory comes when we return to a deep, personal relationship with Him—where devotion replaces routine and obedience becomes the standard.

Jaggy and Tedi are here in the studio, calm and steady as always—just a reminder to stay close, stay faithful, and keep your focus where it belongs.

Key Takeaways:

• An overcomer puts God first—above everything else
• Victory comes from relationship, not just religious activity
• You must overcome pressure, distractions, and misplaced priorities
• God desires devotion, not routine
• Obedience unlocks spiritual victory and deeper connection with God
• Staying close to Him brings strength to overcome any challenge

God has already given you the power to overcome—your role is to stay aligned with Him and walk in that victory every day.
