**Northern Michigan** – National bestselling author and speaker Phylicia Masonheimer, known for her blog “Every Woman a Theologian,” sheds light on the spiritual dimension of challenges we face in our world. While acknowledging the role of natural laws in the brokenness we experience, Masonheimer emphasizes the spiritual component of struggles such as doubt, discouragement, and trials.
“We wrestle against things that have a spiritual component,” Masonheimer writes. “While there are practical, scientific explanations for some things, it’s important to remember that God is greater than the enemy.”
She reminds us that the Gospel message offers salvation, not just for the afterlife, but for our present lives. This salvation empowers us to overcome challenges through the authority given by the Holy Spirit.
“The next time you feel triggered to store up food or supplies out of fear, panic, or worry, thank God for the daily bread He faithfully provides,” Masonheimer encourages. “Ask Him to calm your heart and mind in these situations.”
Masonheimer’s message underscores the importance of faith and the power of God’s grace in facing life’s challenges.
