20: How Do You Identify Spiritual Blindspots?

Identifying Patterns: The Danger of Spiritual Blind Spots Are we paying attention to the patterns in our families, churches, and culture, or are we too comfortable to notice? In this episode of Naughty vs Nice: A Christian Podcast, Todd and Laura discuss the gradual but undeniable shifts that happen in our children, relationships, and faith communities—and why recognizing these patterns is crucial. We explore the biblical concept of deception, looking at Ephesians 6:10-17 and Paul’s warning about the “schemes” of the enemy. Are we missing the wolves in sheep’s clothing? Are we too reliant on comfort and reconciliation, ignoring destructive behaviors? We also examine the dangers of “unhitching” the New Testament from the Old Testament, questioning modern movements that seek to deconstruct the authority of Scripture. Join us as we unpack the spiritual battle we’re all engaged in and why discernment, accountability, and biblical literacy are more important than ever. 🔹 Keywords: Christian parenting, spiritual warfare, false doctrine, church deception, biblical authority, discernment, Ephesians 6, wolves in sheep’s clothing, modern Christianity, cultural Christianity.
