Summary: When you find yourself in a fight, what battle strategy do you use?<br> No matter the battleground . . . Marriage challenges. Child struggles. Health trials. Overwhelming circumstances.<br> How do you maneuver the daily attacks that rob your joy and peace?<br> Today’s guest is<a href="https://jangreenwood.me/women-at-war/"> Jan Greenwood</a>, author and Pastor of women at Gateway Church in Southlake, TX. In 2009, Jan was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. After the first battle, she experienced years of healing. Then four days shy of her 6 year recovery anniversary, cancer resurged in her body.<br> <br> In this episode, Jan shares what God’s taught her about waging war. And how the football term #squareup impacted her battle strategies differently from the first and second time she fought cancer. Jan shares what it means for her to rest and let God fight for her. And encourages each of us to get a word and direction from the Lord for our unique situations.<br> Y’all know how much I love a wise woman leading us with fresh perspective and insight. Jan does not disappoint.<br> Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this episode:<br> <br> This time my mindset has had to become one of agreement and not one of opposition. And squaring up is not about being steadfast in the Word of God, but its really about can I square up in such a manner that I can look at Jesus and trust Him.<br> I’m not very brave and not very strong. When I’m weak there’s a strength that shines through. And when I’m afraid, He makes me courageous.<br> <br> Connect with Jan Greenwood:<br> <a href="https://jangreenwood.me" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jan.greenwood.16" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://twitter.com/@jangreenwood/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jangreenwood/"></a><br> Featured Sponsor: <a href="https://www.jellytelly.com/?utm_source=godcenteredmom.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blogger%20traffic">Jelly Telly</a><br> <a href="https://www.jellytelly.com/?utm_source=godcenteredmom.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blogger%20traffic"></a><br> JellyTelly is the only streaming video app designed specifically for kids where God is real and His Word is true.
