In this episode, we break down the reality of spiritual warfare—not as a distant, abstract idea, but as a very real insurgency happening in our lives right now. Drawing from battlefield experience and biblical truth, I explain how the enemy operates like an insurgent force: hiding in the shadows, sowing division, attacking the family unit, and undermining your identity in Christ.This isn’t a war fought with bombs or bullets—it’s fought with truth, discipline, and the armor of God. Just like in counterinsurgency, we must secure the terrain of our hearts, expose the lies, and build spiritual strongholds rooted in faith.If you’re a man trying to lead your family, overcome addiction, deal with pressure, or simply stay grounded in a chaotic world—this episode is for you.🔥 Key topics: • Recognizing the tactics of the enemy • How spiritual warfare mirrors modern insurgency • Building a faith-based defense strategy • Leading your home like a spiritual warriorThrough faith, we conquer. Let’s get after it.Follow my PATREON to support the channel.
