Phoenix Rising: Descending into the Threads & Rising from the Roots. EP 152: Prayer, Faith & the Lies That Keep Us Stuck with Ryan Albury
After a year and a half away from the podcast, Lisa is back—sharing what changed, what God has been doing behind the scenes, and why she felt called to return.
Joined by Ryan Albury, this conversation begins in prayer and opens into a deeply honest exploration of faith, trust, and relationship with Jesus.
They talk about what prayer really is (and isn’t), why some prayers are answered instantly while others take years, and how God works through both the waiting and the breakthrough.
Lisa shares personal stories of provision, healing, and learning to trust God after a lifetime of not feeling safe to. Ryan brings powerful insight into spiritual growth, including how to recognize God’s voice, what it means to contend for God’s promises, and the deeper layers of transformation that happen when we surrender.
The conversation also goes into territory many avoid—spiritual warfare, the reality of the enemy, and the subtle lies that keep people disconnected from God.
