About this episode

Is everything we're going through really spiritual warfare?Sometimes when something goes wrong, we're quick to say, “The devil is busy!” 😄 But is every difficult situation an attack from the enemy?In this episode of The Porch & The Pulpit's Teach Us to Pray Series, Cheryl and James begin an honest, Scripture-centered conversation about spiritual warfare—what it is, what it isn't, and how believers should respond.Using Ephesians 6:10–18 as our foundation, we talk about:🛡️ What spiritual warfare really means 🛡️ Why spiritual warfare should make us more aware of God—not obsessed with the enemy 🛡️ Why the person in front of you isn't always your enemy 🛡️ Why not every difficult circumstance should automatically be called spiritual warfare 🛡️ The importance of discernment and personal responsibility 🛡️ What it means to “be strong in the Lord” 🛡️ Why our strength comes from God and not ourselves 🛡️ An introduction to putting on the whole Armor of GodSpiritual warfare is real—but Scripture doesn't call us to live afraid. It calls us to stand.This conversation became so rich that we couldn't fit it into one episode! ❤️Next week, we'll pick the conversation back up with Point 6 and continue walking through what spiritual warfare looks like in everyday Christian life.💬 QUESTION FOR YOU: Have you ever looked back at a situation and realized what you originally called “spiritual warfare” may actually have required a different decision, wisdom or personal responsibility?Join the conversation in the comments. 👇🏽The Porch & The Pulpit Real Conversations.
