What if the thing keeping you stuck is not your weakness — but a lie you learned to believe?

In this episode of the Intentional Breakthrough Podcast, Charity Gurtler and Tania Hilton talk about one of the enemy’s most common strategies: planting lies that grow into shame, walls, strongholds, and unhealthy coping patterns. From childhood wounds to the belief that “something is wrong with me,” they unpack how these lies can shape the way we see ourselves, God, and others.

But the truth of Jesus is stronger than every lie.

This conversation offers practical encouragement for recognizing lies, breaking agreement with them, inviting the Holy Spirit into the healing process, and learning how to walk in the identity God has already given you.

If you’ve felt stuck, ashamed, guarded, or unable to receive God’s love, this episode will help you begin asking: “What lie is at the root — and what truth does God want to speak instead?”

What does the Bible actually say about spiritual warfare, oppression, and the battle believers face?

In this episode of the Intentional Breakthrough Podcast, Charity Gurtler and Tania Hilton unpack Ephesians 6 and talk honestly about how spiritual warfare shows up in everyday life — not just in dramatic or extreme ways, but through lies, fear, anxiety, heaviness, relational conflict, shame, unforgiveness, and false identity.

This conversation explores how the battlefield often begins in the mind, how the enemy uses wounds and lies to keep believers stuck, and why spiritual freedom is not about fear — it’s about strategy, healing, truth, and walking in the authority of Christ.

Charity and Tania also discuss how past wounds can become weak spots in our “armor,” why lies can create footholds, and how forgiveness, truth, and breaking agreement with the enemy’s accusations can lead to real breakthrough.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I facing spiritual warfare?” or “Why do I feel so stuck even though I’m walking with God?” this episode will help you begin to recognize the battle and learn how to fight with truth.

Can a Christian truly love Jesus, believe in God, and still experience spiritual oppression?

In this episode of Intentional Breakthrough, Tania Hilton sits down with Charity Gurtler as Charity shares her personal story of growing up in a Christian home, knowing the truth of Scripture, and yet feeling deeply bound by depression, anxiety, fear, and heaviness. For years, she didn’t have a framework for understanding spiritual oppression as something believers could experience — until one powerful moment with the Lord changed everything.

Charity shares how God began revealing the spiritual weight she had been carrying, what happened when she commanded it to go, and how that moment opened her eyes to the reality of spiritual warfare in the Christian life.

This conversation also explores how to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit, why Scripture must be the ultimate filter, the importance of healthy Christian community, and how to recognize the difference between the true fruit of the Spirit and counterfeit peace or temporary feelings.

If you’ve ever wondered why you can believe in God but still feel stuck, heavy, anxious, depressed, or spiritually blocked, this episode will help you begin to see spiritual freedom as one important piece of the healing journey.
