In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Candace Nassar sits down with author and Bible teacher Melissa Spoelstra to unpack a topic many moms wonder about but rarely discuss—angels. Together they explore what Scripture actually says about these heavenly messengers, the misconceptions many of us grew up with, and the ways God uses angels to strengthen, guide, and comfort us in the chaos of everyday mom-life. Melissa also shares her own journey toward understanding the spiritual realm, helping moms stay grounded in God’s Word while finding hope in His unseen protection. If you’ve ever felt spiritually weary or longed for reassurance that God is near, this conversation offers truth, encouragement, and renewed faith that God’s Word gently realigns our hearts with truth when we feel overwhelmed.
