They explore: The two dimensions — seen and unseen — and how they coexist Common misconceptions Christians have about spiritual warfare Real-life ministry stories that reveal the enemy’s subtle tactics The power of prayer and Scripture as weapons of spiritual defense Biblical truth from Job, Ephesians, and 1 John that anchors our hope Special Guest: Nick Oyler – Former minister, mentor, and passionate follower of Christ Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 4:18 Matthew 10:28 Ephesians 6:10–18 Job 1–2 1 John 4 Takeaways for Listeners: Spiritual warfare is real — ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. Prayer is one of the most powerful acts of spiritual resistance. The enemy is not people — it’s the spiritual forces of darkness. God’s authority is ultimate; Satan operates on a leash. Victory comes through God’s strength, not our own.
