Rachel Russell | Christian Women, Taking Thoughts Captive, Trusting God 6 Episodes May 8, 2026

Every Thought Captive is a podcast for Christian women who love God yet still wrestle with anxiety, depression, and fear. Through honest conversations about motherhood, trusting God in hard seasons, and the tension between faith and emotions, it explores what it means to take every thought captive rather than letting thoughts take over. Episodes feature real women sharing their own struggles and what they are learning, without pretending to have perfect answers. The show comes from Harp and Timbrel and is hosted by Rachel Russell.
