About This Week’s Study
Pride is subtle but powerful — it creeps in when we crave approval, boast in achievements, or rely on ourselves instead of God. In Matthew 4:5–7, Satan tempted Jesus to prove Himself through pride, but Jesus chose humility and obedience.

This week we’ll expose how the “pride of life” shows up in our own lives and learn how humility protects us in spiritual warfare.

Key Scriptures:

Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

James 4:6–7 – “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

1 John 2:16 – “The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life…”

What to Expect
Devotional & Deep Dive Teaching
Group Discussion & Reflection
Companion Handout with Scriptures & Prompts

Come ready to dig deep, reflect honestly, and surrender pride at the feet of Jesus.

This is part of the Spiritual Warfare Bible Study series hosted by Miranda Embry, founder at Formed Through Fire Ministry.

So many of us carry hidden wounds, battles of the heart, and burdens that were never meant to be carried alone. Through Scripture, prayer, and fellowship, we will explore how Jesus brings healing to broken places and delivers us from the things that hold us back.

• Powerful Bible-based teaching on how to overcome your past and break free from the wounds of Bitterness, Guilt, Rejection, Abandonment, Abuse, Betrayal, and more…

• Practical tools for walking in freedom

• Specific strategies on how to use the oil that has been pressed out of you through your crushing

• Time for reflection, prayer, and encouragement

• Genuine sisterhood and support

Come with an open heart, ready to receive all that God has for you. Together, we will discover the beauty of His healing love and the strength found in His deliverance.

Are you weary from trauma, stress, or disappointment? Do you long for a Bible study that goes deeper than surface answers and speaks directly to your broken places?

In Rebuilding the Ruins: Haggai and the Healing of the Whole Woman, Biblical Counselor and trauma survivor Jane Stoudt invites you to experience the book of Haggai like never before. This 4-session, verse-by-verse Bible study combines inductive study tools, trauma-informed practices, and creative journaling prompts to help you encounter God’s healing presence in the middle of your own ruins.

The book of Haggai is short—just two chapters—but it carries a powerful message for women today: God is with you, and your ruins are not the end of your story.

Through this study you will discover:

How to recognize the “bag with holes” seasons of exhaustion, burnout, and emptiness—and invite God to fill them

Why comparison keeps you stuck, and how to find courage again in God’s presence

How trauma contaminates—but how God draws a line and declares, “From this day on I will bless you”

The security of being chosen, sealed, and carried like God’s signet ring

Practical, science-based insights about how trauma affects your brain and body—and how Scripture speaks directly to those wounds

Creative reflection and journaling prompts to help you slow down, notice God’s Word, and respond in a way that brings real transformation

Whether you’re overcoming PTSD, anxiety, long-term stress, loss, or shame, this study will meet you with compassion, depth, and hope. With The Margins Method™ woven throughout, you’ll learn how to interact with Scripture in a Spirit-led, creative way that makes room for both deep study and personal healing.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too broken to rebuild”—this study is for you.

Spiritual Warfare – Week 6: Reliance on God’s Power
Armor of God – Part 2: Peace & Faith

The battle continues—and so does the building of our armor.

In Part 2 of our Armor of God teaching, we revisit the Shoes of Peace and move into the Shield of Faith, uncovering what it means to stand and withstand in the strength of the Lord.

The Shoes of Peace – not just for standing still, but for moving forward in confidence, grounded in the Gospel

The Shield of Faith – our divine defense against every flaming arrow of fear, doubt, and spiritual attack

This week, we focus on how peace protects our direction and faith protects our perspective. Both are vital, both are powered by the Spirit, and both are built on full reliance on God’s power, not our own.

Come ready to dig deeper into how faith and peace work together to keep you grounded and guarded in every spiritual battle.

Spiritual Warfare week 5> Reliance on God’s Power
Armor of God – Part 1: Truth, Righteousness, & Peace

This week, we begin our deep dive into the Armor of God—the spiritual defense system God designed for victorious living.

In Part 1, we’ll explore the first three pieces of armor:

The Belt of Truth – holding everything together with the unshakable truth of God’s Word

The Breastplate of Righteousness – guarding your heart with right standing in Christ

The Shoes of Peace – being grounded and ready to move forward in unshakable confidence

This session focuses on how our strength comes not from ourselves, but from total reliance on God’s power—a theme woven through every piece of this divine armor. When we suit up in truth, righteousness, and peace, we are no longer fighting for victory—we’re fighting from it.

Join us as we uncover how to walk in divine power, stay spiritually grounded, and stand firm in the battles you face daily.
