About this episode

Spencer Sutton discusses the spiritual battle against sin and the importance of adopting the mind of Christ.

I go straight at something I talk about with every man I walk with: you are at war. I start in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and unpack what Paul meant when he said our weapons aren't fleshly but carry divine power to destroy strongholds. Then I tell a story from the San Diego Zoo that reframes the whole thing. Our tour guide pointed out that the zoo's lions had no scars, no hunger, no enemies. "Showcase lions," she called them. Born into ease. They'd die the same way. Wild lions? Shorter lives. Scarred bodies. But free. I draw the line: too many of us are living like caged lions, wanting comfort and calling it faithfulness. Peter says to arm yourself with the mind of Christ. And Christ's mind was simple: not my will, but yours. That's the weapon. That's the war.
