Primer on Spiritual Awareness and Warfare

The hosts and guest dive into the topic of spiritual awareness and warfare, defining what it is and exploring its different facets. They discuss the importance of understanding that we battle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual principalities. The conversation also covers the tactics that the enemy uses to disrupt our walk with Christ and the importance of inviting the Holy Spirit into our lives to guide us through this battle. In the latter part of the episode, the conversation shifts towards the importance of defining terms in spiritual warfare to avoid miscommunication and assumptions. They also touch on the question of whether a Christian can have a demon, and the importance of having a proper understanding of how God made the body.
