HOPE365

The devil’s strategy is simple: wear you down until you give up on the promises of God. He whispers lies, throws obstacles in your path, and uses setbacks to convince you that your destiny is out of reach. But the truth is—what the enemy means for destruction, God can use to build perseverance. In this episode from the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, we expose how the devil tries to steal desti...

The enemy doesn’t always come with a roar—often it’s a whisper: distraction, discouragement, division, despair. In this episode, we expose how the Devil targets God-given destiny through spiritual attacks. Join us as we walk through the armor of God (Eph. 6:10–18), how to take thoughts captive (2 Cor. 10:4–5), and how to stand firm when you feel under fire. If you or someone you love is caught in...

The enemy’s greatest tactic isn’t always destruction—it’s distraction. The devil wants to keep you blind to who you really are in Christ, because if he can steal your identity, he can steal your destiny. In this powerful episode, we uncover how the enemy schemes to derail your future and keep you living beneath God’s promises. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck. Through the tru...

From the outside, unforgiveness may look like self-protection. But inside, it’s a cage—and the devil holds the key. Unforgiveness is spiritual cancer. It poisons your peace, hijacks your identity, and keeps you stuck in cycles you were meant to break. The devil knows if he can keep you unforgiving, he can keep you ineffective. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on how hell keeps you bound—f...

The devil’s not just afraid of your success—he’s terrified of what you’ll become if you learn from your failures. So he’ll twist every mistake into a death sentence for your destiny. He whispers, “You blew it…you’re done.” And if you buy that lie, you’ll play it safe, shrink back, and never step into the fight God called you to win. In this episode, we’re ripping the mask off the enemy’s scheme to...

The devil doesn’t always come with horns and chaos—sometimes he comes with a checklist. In this raw and unfiltered episode, we expose how Satan uses performance to chain you to an identity that God never gave you. He’ll whisper that you're only as valuable as your productivity… that if you're not doing enough, you're not enough. And we buy the lie. We run ourselves into the ground tryi...

Let’s get real—the devil isn’t trying to just bother you. He’s trying to destroy you. And one of his favorite weapons? Offense. It starts small: a harsh word, a forgotten favor, a wound left unhealed. But left unchecked, offense festers into bitterness, unforgiveness, and isolation. The devil knows that a heart offended is a heart divided—and a divided heart can’t walk in purpose. Join us as we di...

The devil doesn’t need to destroy you outright—he just needs you distracted, insecure, and constantly looking sideways. Comparison is one of the enemy’s most subtle and deadly weapons. In this episode, we dive deep into how the devil uses comparison to derail your calling, distort your worth, and disconnect you from God’s purpose. From scrolling through social media to measuring your journey again...

Fear is one of the enemy’s sharpest weapons—and he knows just how to use it to paralyze your purpose, silence your voice, and keep you stuck in survival mode. In this powerful episode, Pastor Larry Otwell exposes how fear isn’t just an emotion—it’s a spiritual strategy from the enemy to rob you of your God-given destiny. But there’s good news: God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, lov...

The devil doesn’t need chains when shame does the job. It whispers lies, buries truth, and convinces you you're too broken to be used by God. But here’s the real story—shame is a setup. It’s how the enemy steals your voice, your calling, your destiny. In this episode, Pastor Larry Otwell goes straight for the throat of this spiritual stronghold, revealing how shame keeps people trapped in addi...

Not every open door is from God—and not every good thing is a God thing. In this episode, we’re exposing one of the enemy’s most dangerous tactics: counterfeits. The devil doesn’t just steal your destiny by force—he offers you a cheap imitation of it. A fake calling. A toxic relationship that looks like love. A job that looks like success but drains your soul. It’s the old bait-and-switch—and it’s...

Behind every broken life is a story—often one that began with pain in childhood. In this episode, we expose how the enemy uses early wounds—abandonment, abuse, rejection, and trauma—as tools to steal identity and derail destiny. These scars don't just hurt; they lie. They whisper, “You’re not enough,” “You’ll never change,” “You’re forgotten.” But at the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, we’ve se...

The enemy isn’t just after your stuff—he’s after your story. In this episode, we expose how the devil uses identity confusion to hijack your God-given purpose. When you don’t know who you are, you’ll believe lies about what you’re made for. When the devil steals your sense of who you are, he can rob you of where you're going. In this episode, we expose how the loss of identity leads to a stole...

Let’s get real—the devil doesn’t show up with horns and a pitchfork. He comes disguised as comfort, busyness, approval, and half-truths. In this episode, we explore how the devil plays the long game to wreck your purpose. Together, we will dig into the traps that keep you stuck, silent, and sold out. If you feel like you were made for more—but life keeps pulling you under—this is your battle plan....

The traditional American solution to poverty alleviation has been to solve problems through material and financial means. While this method does met someone's need, it can often create more and more dependency on people and programs and deepens the cycle of poverty. Jesus didn't solve problems materially alone... He transformed hearts and that's what changed a person's life. If we...

Scripture tells us that "through pride and presumption come nothing but strife, But skillful and godly wisdom is with those who welcome well-advised counsel." Proverbs 13:10 As Christians, the Bible tells us we will suffer. But when those sufferings come, how can we find our way back to the light and how can we stay on the path of righteousness. If you find yourself struggling, you are n...
