About this episode

The episode explores whether spiritual warfare is essential for Christians and introduces a new book study on the topic.

Is spiritual warfare an elective for advanced Christians? Maybe you hear "spiritual warfare" and think "paranormal activity." Maybe you've been a Christian for a long time and haven’t had to deal with spiritual warfare. How important is it really? Many Christians feel like they see no evidence of spiritual warfare around them. They might undersand that cosmic realities exist and intercessory prayer can work, but otherwise, Christians who believe in spiritual warfare are just cooky or overly mystic. How does a person's life actually change at all by knowing about spiritual warfare? In this On the Trail episode, we look at this question: Is Spiritual Warfare Optional? This episode starts a two-part intro to our next book study: What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare. You don't need an advanced degree in spiritual warfare. But just like knowing that washing your hands helps against germs or how to put on a bandaid, there is some spiritual first aid every Christian should understand.
