Joining the Fight: A Series on Spiritual Warfare

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we step into the basics of building a strong spiritual defense, where we learn the two essential foundations that keep everything else steady: preparation and security. Together we discover how honest awareness of our vulnerabilities and what truly matters (our faith, family, and walk with God) builds an early warning system before storms hits, while guarding our hearts and minds (through Scripture, alertness, and the power of community) creates a 360-degree defense that the enemy can’t easily sneak past or breach.Support the showCheck out more at our website, Standingword.com.

Send us Fan MailIn this final episode that covers our uniform and individual warrior tasks, we are talking about the labels on our uniform that identify as up close as individuals in God's army.  Those labels are seen through the unconditional love we show to others through kindness and gentleness.  When clearly seen by others, our identity is unmistakable to the world.Support the showCheck out more at our website, Standingword.com.

Send us Fan MailThis is part two of our uniform and focuses on the colors or standard under which we march.  Our joy are these colors.  Just like a US flag patch on the modern uniform of an American soldier, our color of joy identifies who we fight for when we constantly lift up God because of His goodness and faithfulness.  When we display these same Fruits of the Spirit to others, we become flag-bearers of that joy in the world around us.Support the showCheck out more at our website, Standingword.com.
