In this episode, I’m sitting down with JMJ Missions to dive deep into the very real and often misunderstood reality of spiritual warfare. Together, we uncover the unseen battles taking place for our souls, how evil slowly targets our thoughts, emotions, identity, and choices, and how easily we can be influenced without even realizing it. We talk about how spiritual warfare doesn’t always look dramatic or obvious, but often comes through doubt, distraction, temptation, fear, discouragement, and spiritual complacency. You’ll learn how to recognize these attacks and, more importantly, how to fight back using the spiritual weapons God has given us faith, truth, prayer, the sacraments, Scripture, and the power of Jesus’ name.This conversation also emphasizes why community matters in spiritual warfare. We were never meant to fight alone. Staying rooted in the Church, supported by faithful community, and grounded in daily prayer is essential to standing firm against the enemy. Whether you’re feeling spiritually dry, under attack, or simply wanting to grow stronger in your faith, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical tools to help you stay vigilant, protected, and rooted in Christ.Follow JMJ on socials!!jmjmissions.com instagram.com/jmjmissionstiktok.com/@jmjmissions facebook.com/jmjmissionsLINK TO JMJ'S CARLO ACUTIS VIDEO!!https://youtu.be/vj0qe6qe01s?si=6F8w6lZxFIGG2xA9
