We are not victims struggling to become victors. We are already victors, declared winners in Christ. The enemy's strategy is to deceive us into forgetting who we are.In Episode 7 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff teaches why the Armor of God is essential for every believer who wants to stand firm against the enemy's schemes. Spiritual warfare is not fought through human strength, emotion, or self-effort. It is fought in the Lord's might with the spiritual weapons God has already provided.Through Paul's description of a Roman soldier's armor in Ephesians 6, we learn how God equips us with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer. Each piece prepares us to resist deception, remain established in faith, and stand confidently in the victory Christ has already secured.This battle is not against people, but against the spiritual forces that blind minds, distort truth, destroy lives, and keep people trapped in darkness. In Christ, we are blessed, seated with Him in heavenly places, and equipped with His name, authority, Spirit, and power.Discover what it means to put on the whole Armor of God and fight from a position of victory, not for victory.

There are several misconceptions about the armor of God that Christians need to remove from their minds.

Let's meditate. This is not a meditation about NPD. It is a practice about the ordinary, everyday ways that all of us protect our vulnerable places with something hard. So, let's get curious about the armor.

It would appear there is a contradiction in the Bible since in one passage it says to be still and God will fight for us, but then there is another passage where we are told to put on the “Armor of God.” So, which is true? Are we to be silent and still and let God do the work? Or are we to put on our armor and go to war? Is this truly a contradiction? To find the answer, it is important to look at the context of these two passages, and Michael will guide us through that in today's episode.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Sadly, most Christians think that the Christian life is all a matter of 'my will power, my decisions, and my expending the right amount of human effort.' Paul rejects that idea and teaches that Christians must put on God's armor.

Eben Britton spent six seasons as an NFL offensive lineman, a body built for collision, before a ruptured disc, a dislocated shoulder, and a cabinet of painkillers left him shattered at twenty-seven. We meet the man underneath the armor, and ask what remains when the identity you built your life around is stripped away injury by injury. Eben reads his injuries as psyche made physical, the weight of a family he carried on his back with no foundation to hold it. He traces the road out through a men's twelve-step room, cannabis, yoga, and the years he and Mike Tyson spent shepherding each other through the reckoning. What emerges is a study in death and rebirth, and the reframe that freed him: stop trying to find your purpose, and make your life purposeful. One more breath, one more step, and the other side is closer than it looks.(00:00) NFL Career Ends in Crisis(00:44) Opening Conversation(01:55) Show Start(10:42) Eben's Chaotic NFL Draft Day Story(19:48) NFL Rookie Experience(28:22) Back Injury and Painkiller Spiral(42:19) Money Pressure and Bad Advisors(48:44) Final Stage of Career (Cuts, Chicago Comeback, Failed Drug Test)(01:01:30) Retirement and Rock Bottom Inner Work(01:10:04) Mike Tyson (Meeting, Starting Podcast, Doing DMT)(01:30:52) COVID Reset Yoga CoachingGuest LinksThe Athlete's ApproachEben Britton on InstagramBe Here Farm — Belize RetreatConnect with UsRATH AcademyStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetFollow Here for the Truth on InstagramJoin Friends of the TruthWatch All Episodes

SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Two Walter Knope has finally discovered the one thing worse than suspecting your new neighbor is a sex demon. Being right. Inside Richard's immaculate house, Walter gets the confirmation he was looking for. The Maitlands are dead. Richard isn't human. And he isn't just interested in Samantha. He wants everything Walter has. Walter tries to warn Sam. It goes badly. What starts as an argument about Richard quickly becomes an argument about money, sex, failure, jealousy and every other thing a married couple has been politely not saying out loud. Sam packs a bag. Walter, terrified Richard will get to her, practically helps her leave. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT is a wicked suburban horror-comedy about marriage, masculinity and what happens when your midlife crisis actually grows horns. Walter needs someone who understands monsters. Enter Bobby Joe Williams. Local horror host. Full-time drunk. Part-time monster expert. Possibly the least reassuring person you could want standing between your family and eternal damnation. Bobby Joe confirms the bad news. Richard is an incubus. He feeds on souls, controls his victims through desire and, unfortunately, appears to be immortal. Meanwhile, Richard has already started remaking the neighborhood. Walter goes looking for Andy and instead finds him dead in the bathtub, his wife Alli transformed into something considerably less neighborly. Walter barely escapes with his life. Then Samantha comes home. Richard is waiting. This time, Sam sees him too. When Richard finally drops the charm and shows them what he really is, he offers Walter everything he ever wanted. Money. Freedom. A fresh start. All he wants in return is Samantha. Walter says no. Then Mia introduces Richard's face to a medieval mace. For a moment, it feels like the Knopes may actually have this thing under control. Then Richard takes their daughter. Now Walter and Sam are done running. They need Mia back. They need help. Unfortunately, the closest thing they have to a professional is Bobby Joe Williams in boxer shorts drinking margarita straight from a blender pitcher. So they do what any responsible parents would do. They raid the failed antique business. Crossbow. Mace. Axe. Sword. Armor. Walter's junk has finally found a purpose. And across the street, Richard is waiting. Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton. Produced by Table Read Podcast and Manifest Media Productions, LLC. Executive Produced by Jack Levy, Shaan Sharma, and Mark Knell.

What does it mean to be clothed in the armor of light? The light of God's armor doesn't just expose the darkness - it expels it. In Episode 6 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff teaches one of the most vivid and practical pictures of spiritual warfare found in Scripture from Romans 13. Spiritual warfare is not fought through human strength, anger, or carnal weapons. It begins by casting off the works of darkness, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ, and learning to walk after the Spirit rather than the flesh. Our good works, integrity, love, and telling the truth are not passive virtues - they are our spiritual weapons. They penetrate the darkness by exposing it and ultimately expel it. The parallel drawn between putting on Christ and putting on the armor of light reminds us that spiritual warfare is not primarily about confronting external enemies but about the daily choice to walk after the Spirit rather than the flesh. Discover why the true battlefield is for the souls of men and how the gospel turns people from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. This is the good fight: standing firm in truth, walking in love, and letting the light of Jesus shine through our lives.

Christians must be able to discern between the true preachers of God's word and those who are false teachers.

Although Satan intends to use persecution and hostility for evil, God sovereignly uses it for His purposes and the good of every Christian.

According to the New Testament, Satan carefully orchestrates hostility against Christ and His church. He does this at national, regional, and even personal levels.

Satan attacks the word of God by distorting the true person of Jesus Christ and corrupting the true gospel of salvation by faith alone.

"The first rule of tactical gear is you gotta look cool wearing it—followed closely by making sure it actually does its job." Episode Summary In this episode of The Gun Experiment, I sit down with Big Keith for an in-depth conversation about the world of ballistic protection, manufacturing challenges, and what it takes to build a company focused on American innovation. We're joined by Alex Poythress, CEO of Ballistic Armor Co., who shares his fascinating journey from marketing entrepreneur to leading a cutting-edge ballistics company. From the differences between materials like Kevlar and polyethylene to the realities of bringing production stateside, this episode is packed with insights for anyone interested in body armor, helmets, and personal protection tech. We also talk about industry myths, the importance of building company culture, and what's on the horizon for helmet technology.

Key Takeaways Building a brand is important, but building and maintaining a strong company culture is even harder and more crucial for long-term success (15:00). Alex Poythress' journey from marketing to CEO highlighted the need to move manufacturing from overseas to the US for quality control and transparency (19:32). Law enforcement's ballistic protection needs are specific—off-the-shelf military helmets may not be the best fit (20:17). The pitfalls of the “Made in America” label: it doesn't always guarantee quality unless backed up by genuine standards (23:32). Comfort and protection are not mutually exclusive. Helmet comfort is about more than weight—it's about the right pad design and materials (36:06). Demand for armor fluctuates with world events; police and first responders increasingly need access to reliable helmets (52:20). Ballistic helmets and body armor have a shelf life—proper care and timely replacement are critical for safety (54:49). Access to body armor is a Second Amendment issue in some states; ongoing legislation and restriction efforts must be watched closely (55:11).

Two shooter betas dropped on the same weekend, so we played both and came back with very different verdicts. WARDOGS is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team tactical shooter with a real money economy — you buy your loadout every respawn, you lose money when you die, and it turns out that changes how a match actually feels. Modern Warfare 4 finally dumps omnimovement, removes bloom from hipfire, and put a campaign mission in the beta for the first time ever. We get into the WARDOGS recon grind and the 5.56 break-action "sniper" that shouldn't exist, the money system and whether it creates real gear fear, three-team fights and whether they actually matter, spawn vehicles as an infinite money glitch, base building and anti-air, and why there is never — not once, not ever — an unoccupied tower. On the CoD side: how the movement feels without omnimovement, no-bloom hipfire on keyboard and mouse, opening-night demon lobbies, whether Warzone and DMZ2 have a chance, and the annual spawns discourse that needs to die. Jake played both. Raz refused to pre-order.

Satan uses several primary strategies to keep unbelievers from understanding and believing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Satan loves to attack the Scripture by questioning its authority and sufficiency. In addition, he also promotes the idea that Scripture isn't true.

Our great General has defeated Satan at the cross, and as Christians we are to hold our ground until He returns at His second coming.

After five episodes of Cyberpunk RED, we have finally reached the most dangerous part of Night City: giving each other constructive feedback. Randall begins with I mechanically didn't like this game, Tyler discovers he spent all his money on software that was permanently deleted, and Ash admits the five-page cheat sheet has ceased to meet any reasonable definition of cheat sheet. But somewhere between the action-economy arguments, cyberpsychosis, crushing rent payments, and the revelation that Tyler still wants to be a wizard even in a game without wizards, we arrive at an important conclusion: the vibes are immaculate, the rules are complicated, and apparently the real Cyberpunk experience is deciding whether to pay rent or install cooler robot parts. Show Notes We close out our Cyberpunk RED Quickstart with a full debrief of the system, the actual play, what worked, what didn't, and what we probably would have done differently if we had more time in Night City. Randall opens strong by saying he mechanically didn't like the game, but that position gets considerably more complicated as the discussion continues. The D10 itself wasn't the problem. In fact, the group generally liked the smaller die combined with large skill modifiers. When your character is good at something, they are really good at it, and that makes each role feel distinct. Combat also delivered the quick, dangerous feeling they expected, with armor degrading, damage piling up, and one bad decision potentially turning into a very short career. The biggest mechanical discussion is Netrunning. Everyone agrees that it is cool, but it creates an unusual action-economy problem. Dave could take three Net Actions plus a meat-space action while Marky might spend his entire turn doing something like hitting a guy with a chainsaw. That can make the Netrunner feel like they are playing an entire second game while everyone else waits for their turn. At the same time, the actual damage and effectiveness didn't necessarily feel unbalanced. Marky often accomplished more with his one physical action than Dave did with several Net Actions. The bigger issue was spotlight and pacing. The group thinks Netrunning would probably feel better when paired with simultaneous social challenges, physical objectives, security problems, and other jobs for the rest of the party instead of simply running two parallel combats. That leads into one of the biggest lessons from the actual play. Cyberpunk RED may work much better with a larger crew. A four-person team could have a Rockerboy distracting someone, a Solo handling security, a Tech solving a physical problem, and a Netrunner diving into the architecture at the same time. With only Marky and Dave, there were fewer opportunities to demonstrate that kind of coordinated job. They also acknowledge that years of D&D and Pathfinder trained everyone to solve problems by eventually rolling initiative. Cyberpunk seems to reward a different mindset. Talk first, manipulate the situation, use contacts, exploit skills, plan the job, and only start shooting when the plan inevitably catches fire. The skill system gets mixed reactions. The large modifiers make specialization feel meaningful, but there are a lot of skills, some of which feel extremely specific. Add difficulty values, environmental penalties, equipment penalties, conditions, combat rules, armor, range bands, critical injuries, and everything else, and Ash notes that the cheat sheet alone is five pages long. At that point, it is no longer a cheat sheet. It is another book. Cyberware is one of the systems everyone wishes they had more time to explore. Buying upgrades, improving your body, choosing programs, and slowly building a character over multiple jobs sounds like one of Cyberpunk RED's biggest rewards. The problem is that every improvement comes with pressure from Humanity and Empathy. The better the chrome gets, the more carefully you need to consider how much of yourself you are willing to sacrifice. That tension becomes even more interesting in a longer campaign. Cyberpunk RED has rent, lifestyle expenses, unexpected bills, jobs, downtime, gear upgrades, cyberware, and the constant temptation to spend tomorrow's survival money on something that might help you survive tonight. Do you pay rent, or buy the implant that might make the next job successful enough to solve the rent problem later? As Randall points out, that sounds suspiciously like real life. Ash clarifies that the fantasy is that sometimes you actually get to win. The group increasingly comes around to the idea that Cyberpunk RED is less a combat simulator and more a Night City life simulator. A long campaign built around episodic jobs, rival crews, personal contacts, planning between sessions, upgrading equipment, and roleplaying downtime could bring out parts of the system that a short Quickstart simply cannot. Randall especially likes the idea of extending that experience beyond game night. A campaign Discord could become part of Night City, with characters hearing about jobs, talking to contacts, gathering clues, competing with rival crews, and planning a heist during the week before everyone sits down to execute it. The conversation eventually moves from mechanics to the thing everyone seems to agree Cyberpunk absolutely nails: the world. Randall loves the gig-economy structure and the importance of personal networks. In a world where institutions have largely failed you, the people you know matter. Your friends, family, contacts, crew, and community become the thing keeping you alive. Ash takes that idea even further. Cyberpunk may look nihilistic from the outside, but the point isn't that nothing matters. The world is rigged, corporations control everything, society may never improve, and your story may end badly. Your friends still matter. Your community still matters. The time you have with them still matters. That, more than the chrome, guns, Black ICE, or chainsaw hands, becomes the group's real takeaway from Cyberpunk RED. The setting is bleak because caring about people in a world designed to grind them down makes those relationships matter even more. And naturally, the episode ends with chat comparing Cyberpunk and Shadowrun, Ash being accused of practicing trickle-down hero-point economics, and Tyler floating Shadowrun as a future Quickstart. Because apparently five episodes of dystopian corporate misery were not enough. Key Takeaways The vibes are immaculate. Even when the group disagreed with individual mechanics, everyone responded positively to Night City, the lore, cyberware, jobs, and overall Cyberpunk atmosphere. The D10 system worked better than expected. Large modifiers mean characters feel genuinely specialized, while the smaller die keeps results uncertain without making experts suddenly incompetent. Combat feels dangerous. Armor degradation and substantial damage support the fast, dirty, lethal tone the group expected from Cyberpunk RED. Netrunning is cool but creates spotlight problems. Three Net Actions plus a meat action can make the Netrunner appear to be playing considerably more game than everyone else. The action economy may be less unbalanced than it looks. Marky often accomplished more physical damage with one action than Dave accomplished with several Net Actions. The real issue was how much table time each character received. Netrunning probably works best as part of a larger encounter. Mixing hacking with social manipulation, physical objectives, security challenges, and combat would give the rest of the crew meaningful things to accomplish at the same time. A larger party might showcase the system better. Four characters with different roles could divide responsibilities during a job and make specialization feel more rewarding. D&D habits do not always translate. The group repeatedly drifted toward combat because that is how they are accustomed to solving encounters. Cyberpunk RED appears to reward planning, social interaction, contacts, infiltration, and avoiding unnecessary fights. There are a lot of rules to track. Skills, modifiers, range DVs, armor, conditions, cyberware, Netrunning, Humanity, and other subsystems create significant cognitive load, especially for a GM learning the game. Some skills feel overly specific. The huge skill list gives characters strong niches, but it can also make the system feel cluttered. Cyberware deserves a campaign, not a one-shot. Saving money, installing upgrades, changing your capabilities, and balancing improvements against Humanity looks like a major part of the long-term appeal. Humanity makes upgrades a meaningful choice. More chrome can make you more capable, but characters have limits, and traumatic experiences can create additional pressure. Downtime may be where Cyberpunk really shines. Rent, expenses, jobs, gear, cyberware, lifestyle choices, and trying to climb out of poverty reinforce the setting between missions. The game seems built for episodic campaigns. Take a job, prepare, execute it, survive the consequences, get paid, upgrade, pay your bills, and hope the next job goes better. A persistent roleplaying community could be fantastic. Contacts, rival crews, job offers, planning, and investigation could continue between sessions and make Night City feel alive. Community is one of the setting's strongest themes. When institutions cannot be trusted, your crew and the people you care about become your real support system. Cyberpunk is bleak without being completely nihilistic. The system may be rigged and the future may be awful, but relationships, loyalty, hope, and choosing what matters to you still have value. The Quickstart only showed part of the game. The group repeatedly stresses that they did not experience martial arts, car chases, much of the downtime system, long-term cyberware progression, or many other mechanics. Their opinion improved with familiarity. The second combat flowed better once everyone understood Netrunning and the basic mechanics, suggesting experience would smooth out some of the rough edges. The final verdict is complicated but positive. Cyberpunk RED has mechanics that frustrated them, but also enough depth, atmosphere, character specialization, campaign potential, and thematic weight that the group clearly sees why people love it. And perhaps the most Cyberpunk RED lesson of all: you can lose your money, your apartment, your Humanity, several expensive programs, and possibly your limbs, but at least your friends will be there to watch it happen.

Breaking Free from the Old Gods: The Spiritual War Behind the World System | KIB545 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION What if many things modern believers consider normal are actually remnants of a world system from which Christ has called us to separate? In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 545, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine the continuing spiritual battle between the Kingdom of God and the systems of this world. Beginning with the influence of ancient Greek and Roman culture and moving deeply into the Apostle Paul's teaching in Ephesians, this episode challenges the Remnant to recognize just how thoroughly the ways of the old world can become embedded in culture, religion, education, tradition, and everyday life. Dr. Lake focuses particularly on Ephesians 2:1–3, where Paul describes three interconnected dimensions of humanity's former bondage: the world, the devil, and the flesh. But Paul does not leave believers there. Christ has been raised above every ruler and authority, and those who belong to Him have been called into an entirely different Kingdom and way of life. This leads directly into the spiritual warfare of Ephesians 6. The believer's struggle is not merely against bad ideas, political systems, cultural movements, or human opponents. Paul identifies principalities, authorities, cosmic powers over this present darkness, and spiritual forces of evil. The enemy continually schemes to entangle believers in the very system from which Christ delivered them. That makes TRUTH indispensable. The armor of God does not begin with emotionalism, religious excitement, or spiritual spectacle. It begins with the belt of truth. Dr. Lake explains why believers cannot merely SAY that they are putting on the armor of God. The armor must become a lived spiritual reality through obedience, sanctification, prayer, faith, and the renewing of the mind through the Word of God. This episode also examines: ·      The continuing influence of Greek and Roman religious ideas on Western civilization ·      Ancient gods, principalities, and the spiritual warfare behind human systems ·      Why Paul was uniquely prepared to confront Greco-Roman culture with biblical truth ·      Ephesians 2:1–3 and the world, the flesh, and the prince of the power of the air ·      Why Christ's authority is greater than every principality and power ·      How cultural traditions can pull believers back toward the world system ·      Why true biblical Christianity will never comfortably conform to darkness ·      The spiritual meaning of the armor of God ·      Why spiritual warfare is an ongoing wrestling match ·      Emotionalism versus genuine conversion and transformation ·      Why forgiveness is essential in breaking the enemy's influence ·      Torah as the loving instruction of God ·      Jesus as the perfect example of walking in the Father's ways ·      The brazen laver, the altar, and becoming a living sacrifice ·      Why the Remnant must learn again to discern clean from unclean and good from evil ·      How believers can begin disentangling themselves from the world system one decision at a time The early Church could not be conquered by persecution because believers possessed the Scriptures, the testimony of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Lake argues that abandoning the biblical foundations of the faith has left much of the modern Church unable to discern good from evil and vulnerable on the spiritual battlefield. The answer is not fear. The answer is a return to God. Every time we choose God's ways instead of the ways of the world, another strand connecting us to the world system is broken. Every act of obedience removes another avenue through which darkness attempts to influence our lives. The Kingdom of God is coming. Daniel 2:44 declares that God will establish a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. Revelation 11:15 announces: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever." And that Kingdom can begin reigning within the hearts and lives of God's people RIGHT NOW. The Remnant must prepare. It is time to hunger for the Word of God again. It is time to learn His ways. It is time to recognize the schemes of the enemy. It is time to become disentangled from the world system. And it is time to walk as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

 In Today's Episode... What does it look like to grow alongside someone who truly knows your heart? This week, Jordan is joined by one of her closest friends, Christine Hernandez, to look back on a beautiful 10-year journey of business, friendship, and spiritual growth. Together, Jordan and Christine share a raw, reflective look at who they were in their mid-twenties—and how much has changed since. They open up about the exhaustion of the "high-achiever" lifestyle, recalling the days when they both hid behind emotional walls, white-knuckled their way through life, and viewed vulnerability as a weakness. This conversation is a beautiful reminder of what happens when we stop performing, let our guards down, and allow ourselves to be fully seen by the people who love us most.   Connect with Christine Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Impact Initiative Website   More about Christine Hernandez. Christine Hernandez is a leader, guide, and transformer of spaces who has spent the last decade moving away from the pressure of perfection and toward the freedom of authentic connection. In her mid-twenties, Christine lived life at a fast, high-achieving pace. To the outside world, she was a fiercely independent woman who had everything completely under control. But beneath that polished exterior was a "stone doll" armor—a protective layer built to keep the world at a safe distance and avoid the vulnerability of emotional expression. Her trajectory changed entirely when she committed to deep inner work and trained under mentor Nora, beginning a profound journey of self-discovery.   Through years of dedication and inner reflection, Christine chose the brave path of softening. She traded the constant pressure of performance for genuine presence and deep community. Today, she is a deeply empathetic soul, a devoted mother navigating the beautiful milestones of raising teenagers, and a loyal friend who spends every week holding intentional space for others. Christine's story is a powerful testament to the fact that our greatest strength doesn't come from keeping people out, but from having the courage to let them in.   Reminder: Subscribe, Rate & Review this podcast!   Whatever platform you are listening on, make sure to follow or subscribe & sign up for notifications for when weekly episodes drop every week!
