Episode 48: "Episode 50" - With Pastor Ron

In the face of yesterday's events, we at the B.A.D. Takes podcast are feeling a mix of profound sadness and renewed encouragement. We have decided to release our 50th episode early to offer a message of conviction and encouragement. Paul's writings in Ephesians 6:12 remind us, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." This truth is a powerful reminder that our real battle is not with one another, but with the spiritual forces that seek to divide and destroy.   Jesus's message was never "us versus them." It was always "us for them." He calls us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and be a light in the darkness. As we navigate these challenging times, let us stand together in prayer, and encourage one another. God bless.   Joseph Sandamaru (Sandy) and Violet work with Navigators at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare. He needs about $1000 a month to live and do ministry.
