How are we shielded by faith, guarded by the helmet of salvation and ready to strike back with the sword of the Spirit? Find out on this podcast episode as we conclude our series on spiritual warfare and send you off ready for victory over the enemy through the power of Jesus and the Word of God!

Jesus has won the ultimate victory over sin, death and Satan. However, Satan still has power to tempt and deceive on earth until Jesus returns at his second coming. So, as we walk out our Christian life, we will face spiritual battles. Yet, Jesus has equipped us to stand in these battles. Find strength and confidence as we dive into the armor God has given us for the times of battle.

The spiritual battle we live in is real and so is our enemy - Satan. That is why it is important we understand who he is, what tactics he uses against us, and how we can stand in the victory God has already won for us.

As Christians, we can easily forget the spiritual war that rages around us. But, we are needed to rise up in the battle, not sit on the sidelines. In what ways can we stay focused on what really matters, and what are the consequences of living a distracted life?

There is no denying that if the Church does not rise up and fight for the next generation, they will quickly get swept up into the current of worldliness and unbelief right before our eyes. Something must be done! So, how far are we willing to go in order to fight for the precious souls of our young people? What if the solution is so simple that we can easily miss it while looking for something th...

"Don't have sex before you are married." For most of us who grew up in Christian homes, we probably had this command ingrained into our brains. Why? Because sexual intimacy is one of the most special and exclusive gifts God has given to a husband and wife and it should be guarded and saved for marriage. However, if we emphasize that the main goal of a young Christian is to merely maintain your vir...

Paul warns of a time when people will surrounds themselves with others that are willing to tell them what they want to hear, things that go against the Bible. However, before we move on feeling confident that this verse is talking just about others, we need to stop and honestly evaluate our own lives. We may all be surprised by what we find.

The desire to be liked is normal, but this can quickly become an idol when our need for approval starts to consume us and we begin to compromise on God's Word to fit in. Chasing after people's approval is a game you can't win. Yet, when we defeat this idol with the truths of the Bible and live with the sole purpose to please God we find great freedom and adventure.

We all are drawn to things that promise to satisfy the desires of our flesh. However, we can see that worshiping at the idol of pleasure will never satisfy us or bring us lasting joy. Learn why it is so important that we identify the ways this idol presents itself in our lives and see that what Jesus freely offers us is so much better.

It's easy to talk about idolatry and worship as general terms, but it gets much more personal when we start to examine our own lives for idols that may be present in our hearts. How do we discover what idols we may be worshiping, and more importantly, how does God help us find freedom from them?

Idolatry is something we all struggle with on a daily basis whether we know it or not. God commands us to have no other gods and to love him with all our heart. In this podcast episode, we want to take a real look at what idolatry is and how worship goes hand-in-hand with it. So let's dive deep and walk away challenged and encouraged!

If we are are hand-knit creations of God, then why did he make us? Why are we all here? Is there a purpose for our lives? If so, how do we live out that purpose? Find the answers to these questions in this podcast episode.

Whether you are a Christian or not, there are certain questions about life that all of us will think about at some point. This podcast episode we are going to look at one of them: Who am I? Am I a person created by God or simply a product of billions of years of time and chance processes? How you answer this question has huge implications in the way that you live.

We were never meant to live our lives taking the wide road that the world is walking. God has a mission and a purpose for each of us. So how do we walk on the narrow road, the way that the Apostles, martyrs and countless Christians have walked over the past centuries? And why does this matter so much?

We often talk about Jesus as our Lord, and as a general statement, we are okay with that. However, if Jesus is Lord of all things, that means he is in authority over each of our lives; that is where this truth gets more uncomfortable. Knowing and living with Jesus as Lord will have a big impact on our lives and also the way we parent our children.

God is love, but we cannot understand the depth of his love until we see our true condition. We are sinful to the core and stand guilty before God, our just and holy judge. Yet, our loving God did not abandon us. He took his only son, Jesus, and placed the guilty verdict and punishment on him. Now, through faith in Jesus, we are declared not guilty and are free to live a new life. This is love! Go...

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). God is the creator of all things. This is a foundational truth that changes everything.
