The Invisible Battle Around You: Spiritual Warfare in 2026

Forget politics or culture. We are living in the midst of a battle between unseen forces. Spiritual warfare is playing out in real time. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12 In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with Casey Fleming (author of Red Tsunami) to break down the intersection of faith, power, and control—and why understanding this could change how you see everything. If you’ve been feeling like something is “off” in the world lately… this connects the dots. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why some believe communism operates like a competing religion The difference between religious warfare vs spiritual warfare How faith is being branded, marketed, and potentially manipulated The rise of “team God” culture—and what it gets right (and wrong) Why your personal relationship with God matters more than institutions How cognitive warfare is shaping beliefs, behavior, and society This conversation isn’t about fear—it’s about awareness. Because once you see it… you can’t unsee it. If you’re someone searching for truth, clarity, or just trying to make sense of what’s happening in the world right now—this is worth your time.
