In this powerful episode of the Joyful Disciple Podcast, Kylie sits down with her dad, Nick Oyler — a minister with 25 years of experience — to unpack the reality of spiritual warfare. From the unseen battles that shape our everyday lives to the practical ways believers can stand strong, this conversation is a reminder that our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. 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.
