You Do Not Fall Away All At Once You Drift Until You Gear Up Again with the Armor of God
from ToddTalks--Spirit By Design: Your Weekly Survival Guide · host Todd Andrewsen
Send us Fan MailSpiritual collapse usually does not look like a sudden break. It looks like getting comfortable, skipping the small things, and slowly taking off spiritual protection piece by piece until peace is gone and God feels far away. I walk through the seven stages of spiritual decline so you can spot the pattern early, name what is happening, and stop drifting before it becomes disconnection. Then I shift to the practical solution: putting on the whole Armor of God from Ephesians 6 as a daily checklist for spiritual strength. We talk about the belt of truth that shuts down self-deception, the breastplate of righteousness that protects your desires and identity, and the shoes of the gospel of peace that keep you stable in a chaotic world. We also cover the shield of faith against doubt and shame, the helmet of salvation to guard your thoughts, the sword of the Spirit through scripture and revelation, and why prayer is the power source that activates it all. Along the way, I connect these ideas to Latter-day Saint teachings on covenants, personal revelation, repentance, and thinking celestially. Finally, I lay out a counter pattern you can actually live: daily meaningful prayer, daily scripture study, intentional obedience, remembering your divine identity, protecting the Holy Ghost by removing spiritual noise, acting in faith even when you do not feel ready, and living outwardly through service and peacemaking. If you want stronger spiritual resilience, clearer guidance, and steadier peace, this is your roadmap.
