Some battles feel endless until you remember the war is already won. We trace the hope and grit packed into Colossians 2:15—how Jesus disarmed spiritual rulers and authorities, shaming them publicly through the cross—and why that changes how we face fear, temptation, and every loud voice that tries to define our day. Rather than hustling for a victory we might earn, we talk about standing on a victory already secured, and what that looks like on a Sunday when you’re tired, on a Monday when pressure mounts, and on a Wednesday when doubts try to slip back in.

We break down the shift from fighting for to fighting from. That shift reframes prayer from panic to confidence, turns spiritual identity from fragile to settled, and exposes the enemy’s favorite tactics—accusation, confusion, isolation—as bluffs with no teeth. You’ll hear a short, memorable line to write where you’ll see it daily—“The cross has already given me victory”—and a simple prayer that helps you live the truth you confess. Along the way, we share encouragement for building small, steady habits that keep your heart anchored: Scripture in the morning, honest check-ins with friends, and gratitude that clears the fog.

If you’ve felt outmatched or worn down, this brief, scripture-centered reflection offers a reset rooted in the finished work of Jesus. Expect practical encouragement, clear Bible teaching, and a nudge to stand tall when intimidation knocks. Subscribe for weekday wisdom with Rick and join us each weekend with Lauren, share this episode with someone who needs courage, and leave a quick review to help others find these short, hope-filled messages.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:06.559
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:07.759
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.880
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.640
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:18.559
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.399
Let's get started.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.440
And now, weekends with Lauren.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.239
Today is day 292.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.320
Victory in Christ alone.

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:35.280
We'll be in Colossians chapter 2, verse 15 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.200
Hey there, it's Sunday.

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.439
Let's finish the week focused on the victory we have in Jesus.

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.840
In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities.

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.240
He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.359
The enemy wants you to believe he's powerful, but the cross proves otherwise.

00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:01.600
Jesus stripped Satan and every demonic power of their authority the day he rose from the grave.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.840
You don't have to fight for victory.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.920
You fight from victory.

00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:12.640
Stand in the finished work of Christ and remind the enemy of his defeat every time he tries to intimidate you.

00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.920
Now write this truth where you'll see it daily.

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.879
The cross has already given me victory.

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.280
Let it encourage you this week.

00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.120
Now let's pray.

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.879
Jesus, thank you for defeating the enemy once and for all.

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.359
Help me live in the power of your victory and never forget that you are greater than any force of darkness.

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.519
Now remember, Rick has your daily dose of wisdom all week long starting tomorrow, and I will see you next Saturday.

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.319
Well, that's all for today.

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.359
But remember, I'm here every weekend, and you should be too.

00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:02.079
The executive producer for Wisdom for the Day, Weekends with Lauren, is Kimmy Shirley.

00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.799
Special intro and outro music by Weston McCurry.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.800

I'm so glad we had this time together.

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.319
And don't forget, he's not finished writing your story.

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.960
Come back next time and we'll keep walking it out together here on weekends with Lauren.

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.919
I love you all so much.

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.240
Bye.
