We often think that spiritual warfare is the extreme cases that we hear stories about. And yes, absolutely those things are spiritual warfare and they are true, AND they are still happening today in America. But, in my experience, the most effective form of spiritual warfare that God’s people experience aren’t physical assaults or explicitly hateful attacks on Christianity. Rather, they are lies. Small whispers that we hear every day. That when left unchecked, build up over time and become things that we internalize and believe as true. In this episode we discuss how to recognize those lies & how to fight them.
