In this sobering and clarifying episode of Horses and Holy Moments, Ingela Larsson Smith and Corrie Sepcich unpack a topic that many Western Christians rarely discuss openly: the reality of two spiritual kingdoms—the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness.

Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, Ingela explains demonic influence, spiritual authority, healing of the heart, and how lies gain access through wounds. She carefully distinguishes between possession and influence, emphasizing the believer’s authority through the blood and name of Jesus.

Rather than stirring fear, this episode equips listeners with truth, grounding everything in the finished work of Christ. It is a bold but hope-filled reminder that Jesus has already won—and that believers are called to walk in freedom, discernment, and spiritual maturity.

In this theologically rich and down-to-earth episode, hosts Ingela Larsson Smith and Corrie Sepcich unpack one of the most misunderstood truths of the Christian life: that every believer is made up of three parts—spirit, soul, and body—and only one of them is instantly transformed at salvation.

Ingela explains how your spirit is made perfect, holy, and one with God the moment you are born again—but your soul (mind, will, emotions) is still in a lifelong process of sanctification. Using powerful metaphors like the “goldfish vs. piranha nature,” she brings clarity to why Christians still struggle with sin, and how understanding the difference between spirit and soul sets us free from shame, fear, and striving.

This episode is packed with Scripture, practical wisdom, and encouragement for anyone wrestling with their behavior or inner battles—and wondering, “If I’m a new creation, why don’t I feel like one?”

In this powerful and emotional episode, Ingela Larsson Smith and Corrie Sepcich share the story of a traumatized warmblood mare who had become dangerously stressed after a series of intense and inappropriate training methods. Through detailed observation and compassionate leadership, Ingela shows how a few quiet minutes of clarity, presence, and protection can begin to transform even the most overwhelmed horse.

Listeners will learn how unresolved stress builds up in a horse’s nervous system and why forcing a horse to accept pressure can lead to collapse or shut-down. Ingela explains her approach to regulating the nervous system first, rather than training behavior—and how this mirrors the way God leads us gently toward rest, not control.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing fear, trauma, or stress—in a horse or in their own heart.
