More from Armed & Anointed with Ashley Russell
Today, I’m sharing how I recognized apathy covering my spiritual fire—and how prayer, fasting, and a season of stepping back helped me find clarity. We’ll talk about how God can use wilderness seasons and changes in our relationships to refine us, the difference between rejection and redirection, and why community matters—but can’t replace time alone with God. If you’ve been feeling spiritually foggy or sensing that something needs to change, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust the process and stay close to Him.

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this conversation offers a fresh framework for leading with clarity and purpose.

In this episode of the Armed & Anointed podcast, Ashley focuses on the importance of adopting a new belief system after becoming a "new creation" in Christ. She discussed how many Christians continue living by old patterns and beliefs despite being born again, emphasizing that true transformation requires changing both mindset and behavior. Ashley shared personal examples of how she overcame old belief systems about stress and opportunity, explaining that faith must be directed toward what God is doing new rather than focusing on past experiences. She outlined three foundational elements for choosing a new belief system: spending time in Scripture, developing a consistent prayer life, and surrounding oneself with a supportive faith community. Ashley also described the stages of spiritual maturity from being a child (getting right with God) to waging spiritual warfare against opposition to achieving intimacy with God. The episode concluded with tactical steps for belief system change including awareness, disruption, redirection, and repetition, with practical suggestions for using Scripture and declarations to integrate new beliefs.
