What the Bible Really Says About Angels, with Melissa Spoelstra.

Hosted By: Candace Nassar

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Candace Nassar welcomes author and Bible teacher Melissa Spoelstra to talk about a topic many moms wonder about but rarely discuss—angels.

As they dive into Scripture, they uncover what the Bible truly says about these heavenly messengers. They also address common misconceptions many of us grew up with and explain how God uses angels to strengthen, guide, and comfort us in the everyday chaos of mom-life.

Beyond that, Melissa shares her personal journey of understanding the spiritual realm, offering practical ways for moms to stay rooted in God’s Word while finding hope in His unseen protection. So if you feel spiritually weary or simply need reassurance that God is close, this conversation brings truth, encouragement, and a renewed sense of faith.
