Ephesians 6 & Standing Firm — Bold Grace Podcast EP8

In this episode, we wrap up our journey through Paul's letter to the Ephesians, diving into the final chapter where Paul calls believers to stand firm in spiritual warfare. Grant unpacks the full armor of God, highlighting how each piece equips us for battle against spiritual forces—not against people, but against the schemes of the enemy. We discuss the importance of unity, faith, and the power of God that enables us to stand victorious. Plus, Grant shares insights on his upcoming book about grace and cultural perspectives on the gospel, and we preview next week's special interview with Pastor Azziz from South Africa.
