Soldierly Pursuits
(Spiritual Warfare - Part 2)
Season 2, Episode #7
About this Podcast:
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.
This episode is focused on SPIRTUAL WARFARE. We discuss:
- How do we tell if the things we are chasing after are worthy of the time of soldier, or if they are “civilian pursuits”?
- What is the final objective of our Commanding Officer?
- Are all Christians soldiers, or just full-time ministers and missionaries?
- What does it mean to be captured by the enemy to do his will?
- Should we engage in arguments about politics?
- What does it mean to be willing to suffer for the gospel?
- Does pursuing the Great Commission mean I have to give up “the good life”?
We hope this podcast will be a light of encouragement that stirs you up to love and good deeds!

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.

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?
