On this final episode of our series about Spiritual Warfare we dive into James 4 and discuss the connection between interpersonal conflict and spiritual warfare.

This episode is focused on TACTICS of SPIRITUAL WARFARE. We discuss:

- What is friendship with the world, and how is it connected to interpersonal conflict?
- Three ways to directly resist the devil: Singing, Shouting, Lifting Holy Hands in prayer
- The power of singing God’s word
- What exactly are “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs”?
- Surely God is not hard of hearing… so why all this shouting?
- What is warfare-style prayer?
- What if I don’t feel comfortable with loud praying?
- Is it wrong to cheer loudly at sporting events while remaining silent in church?
- What happens when we lift up our hands when we pray and sing?

Season 2 Ep6 – Spiritual Warfare – Part 1
On this episode we discuss Spiritual Warfare. Christ defeated all the spiritual forces of evil on the cross, putting all rulers and authorities to open shame, yet we still have a battle to fight in the spiritual realm until He returns. The war has been won, but the battle rages on. On this first episode about Spiritual Warfare, we dive into the cosmic battle that has been raging since the Garden of Eden. A battle over our worship. A battle over our minds, our culture, our neighbors, and the nations. We look at the end game, where this whole thing is heading, and what our spiritual wrestling looks like on the way there.
S2 Ep7 – “Soldierly Pursuits” (Spiritual Warfare – Part 2)
Contrary to what our enemy wants us to believe, ALL of life is war. There is no separate part of the Christian life called “Spiritual Warfare.” Building on our overview of spiritual warfare, in this episode we dive into 2 Timothy 2 and explain what it means to have the mindset of a soldier in Christ, eager to do what pleases the One who enlisted us. Join us as we uncover the real heart issues which determine whether our pursuits are civilian or soldierly in the fight.
S2 Ep8 – “Armor Up” (Spiritual Warfare – Part 3)
On this third episode in our series on Spiritual Warfare, we finally dive into Ephesians 6:10-20, and talk about how to take up and put on the Armor of God. David gives an overview of the book of Ephesians to place the Armor of God in context, and we discuss how Spiritual Warfare manifests in the ordinary living of everyday life.
S2 Ep9 – “Fight Flaming Arrows” (Spiritual Warfare – Part 4)
In this fourth episode on Spiritual Warfare, we wrap up our discussion of Ephesians 6:10-20, the Armor of God. We delve deeper into what’s actually happening in the spiritual realms and cover the final 4 parts of the Armor. This episode is a little more practical, but of course that’s steeped in deep and rich theology. Enjoy!

S3E6: We Are Priests Like Living Stones
If you are in Christ, you are a part of the Royal Priesthood. Along with every believer of Jesus, we are being built up, like living stones, into a holy temple where God dwells. We are made to be instruments of reconciliation between God and man. In this episode we explore our Priesthood, and talk about what makes it distinct from the Levitical priesthood established in the Law. We analyze the story of Melchizedek, and gain new insights into our own priestly duties based on the story of this obscure royal priest. If we belong to the Body of Christ, we have already been anointed and ordained and consecrated for this high calling. Isn’t it about time we learn what this Priesthood is all about?
