Fighting Words Devotional: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness

Whether it's a dream that isn't coming true, a stretch of the journey that feels especially dark, or just the basic "busy and tired" each of us braves in the crazy chaos of the ordinary, have you ever faced a season where "life to the full" feels just out of reach, light seems like it it's just over the horizon, or lies seem to crowd out the truth?
 
If you're anything like Ellie Holcomb, the answer is yes. For her in these seasons, God's Word has been a shelter, a comfort, a song, a balm, and an anchor. Ultimately, it's been a light that has helped kick back at the darkness of the lies we so often believe. In her debut devotional, Fighting Words, you are invited to come alongside Ellie, as you ponder the power of God's promises together and speak them into the darkest corners of your soul. 
 
Filled with encouraging and honest reflections, beautifully designed Scripture memory pages, and wonderful questions to help you process, Fighting Words is a place where you can wrestle, respond to, and take hold of precious truths in God's Word to help you push back the lies that so often consume, distract, and destroy us. 
  
God's Word is alive. In this devotional, Ellie invites you to steep your soul in the living Word, take hold of it, wrestle with it, bury it in your heart, and watch as it brings about life and flourishing. As you journey along with Ellie, you'll find that little by little, you're fighting the lies with the truth, kicking back the darkness, and living in the light.

Ellie’s artistic way to share God’s truth through the lyrics of her songs, have been God’s vehicle of speaking truth in times, my heart and soul are too overwhelmed to read (yes, there are seasons when songs and the prayers of others is the spirit intervening). Almost a year from today (Christmas Eve to be exact), my 39 year old husband found out he has a terminal and rare cancer. Being a momma of two young boys and in the midst of teaching in the pandemic, my husband traveled from our home in KY and lived 3 months in Houston to receive special treatment for his cancer. God provided donated sick days, family and friends who gathered around us during that time to be he hands and feet of God (still has those special people around us). When Ellie released her newest album, I played her songs over and over, wept along with them and worshiped God through them. For such a time is this, Ellie wrote this beautiful devotional, that is the perfect amount of text for this weary momma to take in and challenges scripture memory—which has always been my fighting go to during the storms in life. Even though I’ve read many of the verses time and time again, that’s the point, I am writing those words on my heart and putting on the armor of God during a season that sometimes seems hopeless. I love how Ellie interweaves her connection to scripture and song writing while sharing how God worked in and through her life, during times of trials and storms. I have gifted this book to 5 friends so far and plan to send more copies out! This devotional is more than just for those walking through darkness; we will all walk through hard times so it also can prepare your heart for trials to come by learning to write his truth on your heart, in your mind and soul!

Ellie speaks the truth. Everyday you are greeted with a Bible verse and a devotional. At the end there are some questions that tie in to what you've read. I love that Ellie is a mom, a wife and has a career in music where she inspires me with her beautiful lyrics. My 5 year old and I start our day listening to her beautiful voice. We both sing along and dance. I fell in love with her music 1st and now I have her words written in this lovely book that inspires, encourages and reminds me that I am not alone in this world.

I've only read day one, and I teared up a few times. I can't wait to wake up in the morning and read day two! I sneaked a peek at the verse, but I had to contain myself and save the joy for tomorrow. I have already began learning to combat my depression and panic attacks within the first few pages, and this is all thanks to the wonderful Father, and to the vessels he sends into the world. I don't know if you'll ever see this Miss Holcomb, but I am grateful for you and the time you put into this book. I am a 23 year old female, and I hope you know the impact your writing has already made in my life.
