The Amor of God. Helmet, shoes, breastplate, belt, sword, shield. What are these, and how do we put this armor on? What does "putting on the Armor of God" even look like? We are preparing ourselves every day for a battle against the enemy, and having the armor of God is crucial in our walk with Him. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he finishes our study in Ephesians with talking through the Armor of God and what this looks like in reality.Support the show

We spent the last few episodes on Sin, frustration, temptation, and the battle, and now let us talk the Spiritual Workout to put on the Armor of God. If you want to take a step in the direction of walking with Jesus and not feel so weak, let's talk!Bible Verses: Ephesians 6:12; 1 Peter 5:8-9; Philippians 1:10-11; 1 Peter 2:24-25; 1 Corinthians 16:13-14; 2 Timothy 3:16-17----------------------------------------------------------------Top 20 list at Feedspot: ⁠⁠https://podcast.feedspot.com/christian_men_podcasts/⁠⁠E: warriorwithin.christianmanhood@gmail.com|TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorwarriorwithinMerch Store: https://wwcm-podcast.printify.me/productsPayPal DONATIONS: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KC3DTP8HM7DAEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WarriorWithinMinistriesStudios-----------------------------------------------------Affiliated with Talitha Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://talitha.com/pastordido⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------------------------------------------Track: Jim Yosef - Samurai [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.Watch:Free Download / Stream:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://NCS.io/Samurai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Life will hit you harder than any punch, disappointments, temptations, and spiritual battles come for everyone. Rocky Balboa said it's about “how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,” but God's Word says something even more powerful: “After you have done everything… stand.” (Ephesians 6:13). In this message, we'll break down the Armor of God and discover how standing in Christ, not our own strength is the only way to truly endure. Because the armor isn't just spiritual equipment, it's Jesus Himself.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.” Ephesians 6:10-20 The Call to Stand (v.13) We will be attacked. We must not fear. Alert, disciplined, ready. No thought of retreat. The Armor to Always Wear (v.14-15) Belt of Truth Readiness Symbol of Integrity and biblical conviction Prepares a man for action Breastplate of Righteousness Protects the heart and vital organs Defense against spiritual depression and accusations Shoes of the Gospel of Peace Provides stability and readiness Roman sandals would've been the reference. Had spikes. Firm foundation Gospel makes us mobile, flexible, and confident with God  The Armor to take up in Battle (v.16-17) Shield of Faith Roman shield would've have been large and covered the whole body Stops fiery darts of fears, doubt, lies and temptation Faith in Jesus stops Satan's attacks rather than blocking them Helmet of Salvation Protects the mind from discouragement and despair Connected to the hope of salvation (1. Thess. 5:8) Gives courage and assurance of victory Sword of the Spirit (Word of God) Only offensive weapon Effective use requires training and practice (much like soldiers would do) Modeled by Jesus in his temptation-quotes Scripture with context and authority Word is Spirit given and Spirit applied How to use the Armor: Prayer (v.18-20)  Prayer is what makes the armor work Without prayer, we may be suited up, but we're not in the fight Two aspects of prayer Praying for the saints We fight/pray for others We pray/fight in boldness  Closing thoughts: We have an enemy John 10:10-steal, kill, and destroy The enemy has a plan It won't be a full frontal assault. It will be a dirty, misinformation campaign. He speaks in lies/schemes Word, worth, and work of God Every thought has to be captive Is that the enemy or God? 2 Cor. 10:3-5 We have to renew our mind daily. Our form must be of God and not of this world. Roman 12:2 Sometimes a sermon ain't enough

What happens when your Christian convictions collide with today's cultural realities? How do you love people while staying true to biblical principles? And what do you do when you're too exhausted from ministry to actually live out your faith? Marc and Fuller tackle some of the hardest questions facing Christians today while driving to a wedding in Peru, Indiana. From the RTC Facebook group, listeners asked about everything from spiritual armor to same-sex weddings to passing faith down to the next generation. You'll hear Marc explain why the "belt of truth" keeps your pants up (literally and spiritually), while Fuller admits he's still working on that whole "gospel of peace" thing. They dive deep into the messy reality of LGBTQ wedding invitations - should you go or not? Marc shares a personal story about drawing loving boundaries, while Fuller wrestles with the ministry implications of saying yes or no. But maybe the most honest moment comes when they open up about their current faith struggles. Marc's trying to figure out how to raise kids who own their faith instead of just inheriting it. Fuller's battling the exhaustion that comes with being an elder - turns out spiritual leadership can actually make your faith harder, not easier. No easy answers here, just two dudes being real about the complicated business of living out biblical convictions in 2025. Join the conversation and see if you relate to their struggles. Recorded on the road - because sometimes the best conversations happen between destinations. ––– Learn more about RTC online at https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/

Ephesians 6:14b tells us to stand firm with the breastplate of righteousness in place. But what does that look like in our everyday decisions?In this week's episode, Angie and Susie unpack how righteousness is more than a lofty word, it's about choosing to live in a way that aligns with God's character. From the decisions we make in private to how we treat others in public, righteousness protects our hearts and helps us walk in step with the Spirit.Together, we explore how God's justifying grace bridges the gap between our imperfections and His holiness and how living in that grace shapes the choices we make each day.Ephesians 6:14b (NIV)with the breastplate of righteousness in place,https://livesteadyon.com/https://susiecrosby.com/Free Resource: Armor of God Quick Reference GuideWant a simple, powerful way to keep the truths of Ephesians 6 close at hand?

This week's episode is a love letter to one of the riskiest, most liberating beliefs I've ever adopted: It is safe to rely on the generosity and honesty of strangers.I'm sharing the story of how buying a quirky little car on eBay completely rewired how I move through life as a divorced woman, single parent, and human navigating the daily grind.We'll talk about:How divorce and betrayal shrink your “trust radius”Why suspicion feels safe but is actually a prisonWhat Diana Chapman's world as an ally philosophy has to do with your ex-husbandThe nervous system's role in rebuilding trust (and why your body has to go first)“Trust push-ups”: small, safe ways to start letting people inThe surprising science behind why letting others help you is a gift to themHow to hold both trust and strong boundaries without apologyYou'll also hear how I've reframed my ex as one of my greatest teachers, why I keep choosing to extend the benefit of the doubt, and how this belief has made me lighter, freer, and more powerful in my own life.Your challenge this week: spot three moments a day when someone offers you help, kindness, or honesty—and see how it feels to let the world prove you right.Because trusting strangers isn't about being naïve. It's about deciding you're strong enough to handle whatever comes… and opening your life to a whole lot more good in the process.PostDivorceGlowUp.comEmail: quinn@postdivorceglowup.com

"Sometimes God offends our mind to expose out hearts"In addition to putting on the Armor of God, there is another (controversial) supernatural gift that allows us to go deeper with the Lord - speaking in tongues.

Reading from: Lay Your Armor Down - Michael Farris SmithAn old woman, riddled with dementia, walks off into the woods in the middle of the night. A light in the wood draws her to a campfire with two strange, dangerous men, one young and one old, who are there plotting a crime of as-yet-indeterminate purpose. The two men have a job to do. They are hunting something precious but have only been told: you'll know it when you see it. When they arrive at the place, an abandoned church cellar in the burned-out countryside, they find an answer they never could have predicted. Now, the job feels dubious, one that'll surely bring them to ruin. Yet if they're to go against orders, no step can be undone, and nothing can be taken back.In spare, imagistic prose, Lay Your Armor Down reduces the epic to its most elemental. It charts the course of several broken people, all outrunning danger's dark fingers, and all brought together for one last chance at redemption.https://www.amazon.com/Lay-Your-Armor-Down-Novel/dp/031657337X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1I4CV497KSFRF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eWPHY_YbPVBDxLaFsW8F7LBFePkq_lQBLjAGgJK_2eVgBw-g3IB0RORNCQSBofWd.tptTpfuD8hj4EJZc5JYkAcxhxhFBwDxGXXBRvwRwx5E&dib_tag=se&keywords=lay+your+armor+down+by+michael+farris+smith&qid=1754411626&sprefix=%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-1Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

The World of Eora is a news & lore podcast about the fantasy setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their action RPG: Avowed.This week I turn to the new weapons and armour from the latest major update (Patch 1.5) and check out some lore from those items. TO BE CLEAR I do not go through each and every item, that would be a ridiculous use of your time; but I do go through a few and explain the lore that's presented in them. The rest I'll leave for future episodes, or for curious gamers to check out themselves.worldofeora@gmail.com@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

“Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.” (Ephesians 6:13 NLT) When the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians, he was under house arrest, which meant that he was chained to a Roman guard. So, when we come to Paul’s description of the armor of God in chapter 6, it’s worth noting that Paul had a lot of time to observe Roman armor. There they were, twenty-four hours a day: belt, breastplate, shoes, shield, helmet, and sword. This description of armor wasn’t given in a haphazard manner off the top of Paul’s head to pass the time. Rather, these words were inspired by God. There is significance behind every word Paul attached to each piece of armor. Paul identifies six pieces of armor in total. The first three—the belt, the breastplate, and the shoes—were for long-range protection. They were never removed on the battlefield. The second three—the shield, the helmet, and the sword—were kept ready for use when close-range fighting began. Each piece was important, but only as part of the whole armor. If you were in battle, you could wear your helmet, breastplate, and shield, but without a sword, you would find yourself in the unfortunate position of being able only to defend or hold ground. Or, wearing your shoes and belt and holding your sword in your hand, you could attack enemy strongholds, but you would quickly lose what you gained due to inadequate defense. Likewise, when we do spiritual battle, we need all of God’s armor. The individual pieces are not for us to pick and choose; they are a package deal. God has given us clear and defined pieces. Understanding what they are and how to use them can make all the difference in our spiritual battles. In fantasy novels and video games, weapons and battle armor are often bestowed by mythical beings or claimed after defeating an enemy—usually as part of an elaborate quest. In the very real world of spiritual battle, God gives us the armor and weapons we need. Our quest is to maximize the effectiveness of each piece. We do that by studying God’s truth in His Word. The more expertise we develop in recognizing the real thing, the easier it is to spot the devil’s lies. We do it by strengthening our relationship with God through regular prayer and worship. We do it by building relationships with other battle-tested believers. There’s much to be learned from other people’s victories and setbacks. As those relationships grow, we can fight together by offering encouragement and holding one another accountable to godly living. We have no reason to fear the devil’s attacks. God has given us everything we need to defend ourselves and win our spiritual battles. Reflection question: What would arming yourself for spiritual battle look like in your life?

Evolutionists once linked it to armadillos, but genetic studies disproved the connection, forcing an appeal to convergent evolution—a recurring "rescue device" for failing Darwinian models. * Shark Skin and Airplanes: From ocean to air, shark skin's ridged structure reduces drag. Engineers have reverse-engineered this feature for airplane coatings and banned swimsuits. Like past guest Dr. Michael Egnor noted, reverse engineering proves intentional design. * A Forest from a Warmer Past: Global warming headlines falter as ancient warm-climate forests are discovered under melting snow in Wyoming.  * Dawkins vs. Dawkins: Irony strikes as atheist icon Richard Dawkins clashes with the Freedom From Religion Foundation over gender ideology. Dawkins is now censored for insisting humans can't change biological sex. As Romans 1 says, suppressing truth leads to folly. *  Life on Bennu? Not So Fast: NASA's return samples from asteroid Bennu contain racemic amino acids—both left and right-handed—suggesting death, not life. Fred and Ryan highlight the missed opportunity by CMI to support the Hydroplate Theory, which better explains why Earth-like materials (like serpentinite) are found in space. * Dire Wolves and DNA: A biotech firm claims to have "de-extincted" the Ice Age dire wolf using CRISPR and gray wolf DNA. But critics argue it's just a genetically engineered look-alike. The ethics—and science fiction parallels—raise valid concerns about modern tinkering with life. * Ant Eyes and Imaging Breakthroughs: Desert ants' compound eyes detect polarized light to navigate featureless landscapes. Chinese scientists copied this tech to enhance imaging—enabling detection of cancer cells without staining. Once again, man learns from the Master Engineer.

In this episode of the Cash Flow Academy Podcast, Andy, Corey, and Noah break down the ripple effects of tariffs on the stock market, the economy, and global trade. From a recent 9% market drop to companies like Dow Chemical delaying billion-dollar expansions, the trio explores how uncertainty—especially around government policy—can disrupt confidence, growth, and investor strategy. They also share how traders are responding to volatility and why preparation, not prediction, is key. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - How tariffs affect inflation, investment, and market volatility - Why Dow Chemical hit pause on a major project - What the VIX can signal about investor sentiment - The hidden geopolitical risks of trade policy - Why financial education beats financial advice - Tools and strategies from the Armor class for navigating market uncertainty Want to Learn More?

She's back! Raw, unfiltered, and rising from the ashes.   After a year-long hiatus, I'm returning to the mic with the most vulnerable episode I've ever recorded. I'm peeling back the curtain on a year that broke me wide open; personally, professionally, and emotionally.    From navigating identity loss and a messy unraveling, to finding slivers of hope in the dark, this isn't just a comeback…it's a rebirth.   If you've ever felt like you were losing yourself, hiding behind a mask, or questioning whether you'll ever rise again, this one's for you.   Let's walk through the fire together. Armor up, Warrior.   P.S.
