Reenergized for Today’s Spiritual Battles

Episode Summary: Christian author Rick Phillips writes, “To be a man is to stand up and be counted when there is danger or other evil. God does not desire for men to stand by idly and allow harm or permit wickedness to exert itself” (The Masculine Mandate). This episode examines the masculine calling to be fierce protectors and warriors and identifies two reasons men often fail to fight the battles God has designed them to fight. For Further Prayerful ThoughtWhat do you think is the biggest obstacle to men battling spiritually as they are called to do?How would you combat the argument that Christians should not express their views about current cultural topics because it gets too political and detracts from focusing on the gospel?Why do you think, Tim Keller’s answer to what Christians believe about homosexuality has those specific three parts?Summarize the lessons that you believe Elijah can teach us about prayer? Feedback to the Host: Pease feel free to contact me at [email protected] with push back, questions about resources, other resources or additional ideas about how to help Christ’s men better be equipped for their mission.This Week’s Past Series Highlight:  Winning Spiritual Battles Because We Use Our Spiritual Weapons Using the Spiritual Weapon Satan Most Fears S2 Episode #9 1/3/21How Jesus Wants Us to Fight Through Prayer S2 Episode #10 1/10/21Knowing How NOT to Promote Biblical Truth S2 Episode #11 1/17/21Understanding the Breastplate of Righteousness S2 Episode #12 1/24/21Myths That Make Us Fear Sharing Our Faith S2 Episode #13 1/31/21Becoming More Contagious Christians S2 Episode #14 2/6/21For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men’s issues click here.To make a contribution to make others aware of the podcast click here.
