Podcasts about Spiritual Battle

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A former Anglican Priest says, “I lost the argument,” and somehow that turns into a battle for truth, conscience, and coming home. Kevin Middlesworth joins us to share the winding road from a devoted evangelical childhood, through Calvinist and Reformed theology, into Anglican priesthood, and finally into full communion with the Catholic Church.We talk about the moment when so many Christians hit a wall: the authority question. Who gets to say what Scripture means, what the Eucharist really is, and what the moral life demands? Kevin describes the hidden exhaustion of being your own final judge, the “crushing weight” of trying to carry every doctrine alone. From there, we follow the breadcrumbs that led him to the Church Fathers, the Catechism, and St. John Henry Newman's insight on conscience as God's persistent voice.This is not just an intellectual conversion story. Kevin opens up about marriage, friendship, and the real cost of changing course, plus why he refused to pressure his wife while she wrestled with the same Catholic claims. Eucharistic adoration, Confession, the Rosary, the Liturgy of the Hours, and the surprising discovery that what once looked like “extra's” is actually God's abundance.If you're curious about Catholicism, returning to the faith, or trying to find solid ground in a noisy culture, come listen.

After former satanist Jordan Nettleton quit psychedelics and entered rehab, he expected peace. Instead, while completely sober, the darkness intensified: paranormal activity, sleep paralysis, demonic attacks, and a terrifying out-of-body experience. In his most desperate moment, Jordan cried out: "Jesus, please save me."  His life completely changed after that... Content note: This conversation is shared as a testimony and a warning.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Confusion spreads fastest where people most need clarity, and right now a lot of young adults are walking back into the Catholic Church because they are done with half answers. Jack sits down with Father Brian Gannon, pastor of St Teresa Church in Connecticut and executive director of Courage International, to talk about truth, mercy, and the spiritual battle surrounding sexuality and discipleship.We explain what Courage International actually is: a Church-sanctioned apostolate serving men and women who experience same-sex attraction and who freely choose to live according to Catholic teaching. Father Gannon directly answers an accusation that surfaced around the Synod on Synodality's “study group #9,” namely that Courage promotes reparative or conversion therapy. He calls that claim false and lays out Courage's real mission: chastity, friendship, prayer, formation, and sacramental life, plus EnCourage support for parents and loved ones who want to stay faithful while loving well.If you want a serious, compassionate, and plain-spoken Catholic conversation about same-sex attraction, chastity, and the truth that sets us free, press play.

Today's Promise: Psalm 37:39-40 Do you ever feel like you're under attack? Like the pressures, temptations, and challenges of life have placed a target on your back? In today's episode, we explore and discover the security that belongs to every believer who takes refuge in the Lord.   God is not only the One who saves us for eternity, but He is also our present help in times of trouble. When spiritual battles rage and the enemy seems determined to discourage or defeat you, God invites you to run to Him as your stronghold and place of safety. Just as ancient fortified cities protected their citizens from attack, the Lord surrounds His children with His care, protection, and deliverance.   Join me as we unpack this encouraging promise and learn to walk in faith instead of fear, confident that our Heavenly Father is our refuge, defender, and deliverer in every battle we face.

Life is full of storms, uncertainty, and chaos, but biblical peace isn't found in the absence of trouble. It's found in the presence of Jesus. In Week 3 of our Armor Up series, we explore the Sandals of Peace from Ephesians 6 and discover how the gospel gives us firm footing when life feels unstable. Through Peter walking on water, the disciples in the storm, and the promise of God's peace, we're reminded that standing firm starts with fixing our eyes on Jesus.

You're listening to the Greater Hope Church podcast, rooted in the gospel, growing in community, and shining among people. This sermon from Exodus 17 explores Jehovah Nissi — "the Lord is my banner" — recounting Israel's battle with Amalek and how God's presence secured victory. Pastor Stan McMahan explains the three enemies Christians face (the world, the flesh, and the devil), calls believers to rely on spiritual armor and one another, and points to Christ's cross and crown as the banner of our ultimate hope and triumph. Exodus 17:8-16 A young lawyer witnessed a battle in 1814 . . . A Call to Arms Why must God's people be prepared for conflict? A Staff in the Hand How do God's people prevail in conflict? A Banner over the People What is our encouragement in conflict?

What does it take to keep grinding when the stadium lights fade, your organization is no longer behind you, and you are left facing a grueling two-year recovery entirely on your own? In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down for a dynamic third interview with professional baseball pitcher and certified flamethrower, Jacob Coats. After touching an unofficial 101 MPH on the radar gun and pitching within the Houston Astros organization, Jacob faced a career-altering hurdle: a torn UCL ligament requiring major Tommy John surgery. Jacob opens up about the silent, lonely two-year battle of rehabilitation without a team holding him accountable, the profound mental and spiritual warfare he faced in empty training facilities, and the unique motivating factors—including family, his fiancee Emily, and the future dream of playing catch with his own children—that kept him from walking away. Fast forward to last season: signed by the Gary SouthShore RailCats, Jacob transitioned into a dominant new role as a true, high-adrenaline closer. He shares what it felt like to lock down 13 saves, post a 2.89 ERA, hold opposing hitters to a staggering .195 average, and ultimately earn a spot at the 2025 American Association All-Star Game. Beyond the stats, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the raw reality of independent baseball—from 11-hour overnight bus rides and bed bugs to the incredible power of stadium chaplains and team prayers. More than anything, Jacob shares how he uses his baseball platform not for personal glory, but as a bold testament to God’s healing power and presence. Key Takeaways & Highlights The Mental & Spiritual Battle of Rehab: Jacob details the deep isolation of a two-year recovery outside of affiliated ball, explaining how he leaned on the power of prayer and explicitly rebuked negative thoughts to protect his mind during the hardest days. Thriving Under Pressure in the 9th: Discover the strict, granular 12-to-14-hour daily routine of an independent ball player and why Jacob thrives on the "do-or-die" adrenaline of slamming the door shut as a closer. The Reality of the "Indy Ball" Grind: A candid look at the unglamorous side of chasing a dream, featuring late-night drives, hostile hotel environments, and the deep player camaraderie built through shared struggle. America's Pastime as a Platform: Why baseball serves as a unique bridge for patriotism, family connection, and spreading the Gospel. A Full-Circle All-Star Moment: Jacob recalls his favorite highlights from the past season, including closing out a spectacular Friday night game with his parents on the field to watch the fireworks with him for the first time since his surgery.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The strangest part of modern life is how easy it is to forget where we are. We sip coffee, scroll a phone, and act like reality is neutral, while the deeper story keeps moving under our feet. We step back and look at awe and wonder, not as a mood, but as a doorway into meaning, order, and purpose in creation and in the human body.We make a hard claim with practical consequences: the decisive battle of our age centers on the human heart, life, and marriage and family. Through a Catholic lens shaped by Scripture, the Trinity, and Catholic social teaching, we discover that marriage and family are not just one issue among many. They are foundational, a living sign of self-giving love, and that's exactly why they're attacked in culture, law, and even through confusing “pastoral” language that drifts from clear moral teaching. We also talk about synodality, the limits of accompaniment, and why “lived experience” can't replace the deposit of faith without leaving people more lost.Are you seeking the "Truth of Things" or do you have a desire to help young people?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A single question can dismantle years of certainty: who decides what counts as Scripture in the first place? That's where Cooper White's journey gets gripping, because it wasn't powered by rebellion or a bad church experience. He and his wife were raised in loving evangelical families, deeply involved in ministry, and genuinely devoted to Jesus. But while serving in youth ministry and later studying theology at Wheaton, Cooper kept running into a problem that would not go away: authority. If Christians disagree on core doctrines, if interpretations multiply endlessly, and if even the biblical canon requires a decision, what holds the Church together in Truth?Suffering brought the questions down to the heart. When Cooper's wife faced Lyme disease, Catholic teaching on redemptive suffering, alongside voices like Relevant Radio and real Catholic families living the faith, made the Church feel not like a system of restrictions but a home with sacraments, confession, and a liturgical rhythm strong enough to carry a family when life breaks. If you're wrestling with unity, truth, the Eucharist, or the fear that one hard question could unravel everything, this conversation gives you a clearer path forward. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's searching, and leave a review with the question you're still trying to answer.Join us!

You've been taught to fight. To prayer harder, fast longer, declare louder, do more. But what if that approach is hurting not helping? In this episode, Kyle explores four grace-based spiritual warfare strategies that will completely reframe how you think about the devil, starting with a revelation buried in Colossians 2 that most churches never talk about.

God's word tells us that we're in a spiritual battle. In this recording Dave looks into what the bible teaches about who we're fighting.

In this message from The Beatitudes, Angie Richey teaches from Matthew 5:5 that meekness is power under control. Meekness is not weakness, but strength submitted to God, emotional regulation, holy restraint, and trust that God can defend, heal, and lead us without our need to dominate, retaliate, or control every outcome.Click here to view the episode transcript.

In this extraordinary episode Reagan talks with Ryan Skoog who is an author and the founder and president of VENTURE, a nonprofit that works in the toughest places of the world, serving war refugees, trafficked people, oppressed children, and the unreached.  Ryan shares personal stories about encountering benevolent angels, the demonic, miracles of God and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ that has transformed his life to reach the darkest places of the world. Ryan co-authored the book, "Lead with Prayer" which has moved many around the world to use their faith in Christ to pray without ceasing for God's Kingdom to come to earth as it is in heaven.  Ryan explains how the global church is exploding around the world even through persecution and intense evil and through the power of prayer people are encountering the love of Jesus as they get set free from the demonic chains of the enemy! This conversation will inspire you to see prayer not as an afterthought, but as the central strategy of the Christian life.

You don't have to be afraid.” That encounter set him on a path of boldness—leading him into war zones, Bible smuggling, and fearless ministry. (04:30) – The Global Church Is Exploding Ryan explains how the church is growing faster today than at any point in history, especially in places considered unsafe, unreached, and under-resourced. (10:30) – Learning from the Global Church Ryan challenges Western believers to sit at the feet of persecuted Christians: (12:30) – The Power of Prayer in Leadership Ryan shares research revealing that many Western leaders pray less as they gain experience—contrary to Jesus' example of withdrawing more often to be with the Father. The book Lead with Prayer was born out of hundreds of interviews with global leaders whose prayer lives looked remarkably similar. (15:00) – Mama Rose's Story One of the most moving testimonies: a woman whose home was bombed seven times, who stared down a cobra while bombs fell, and who now cares for thousands of orphans. Her prayer habit? “I tithe my time—two and a half hours with Jesus every day.” (17:30) – Prayer as Friendship with Jesus From war zones to Wall Street, Ryan highlights how true prayer is rooted in relationship: (19:16) – Walking with God Daily Reagan reflects on her own prayer walks and how they mirror the global church's simple yet profound practice of abiding in Christ. 20:59Walking with God: A Return to Eden Ryan reflects on Genesis and Acts 3, describing how sin interrupted our walk with God—and how Christ restores it. “Repent and believe… so the cool of the day may return.” 23:14Crisis & Nightmares: The Catalyst for Change During COVID, Ryan's business collapsed—and his daughter was tormented by terrifying nightmares connected to their ministry. 24:08“You've Never Cried Alone” Ryan recounts an emotional encounter with Jesus. He sees Christ weeping with him—a moment that reveals the deep empathy of God. 28:25Jesus Weeps With Us The host reflects on a past ministry experience where someone saw Jesus weeping with a rape survivor—prompting a powerful conversation on the mystery of suffering and Christ's compassion. “Jesus is weeping with you. He continually intercedes for us.” 30:28Adoption, War, and Jesus' Presence Ryan shares the harrowing story of adopting a girl whose father was tortured in Myanmar. After surviving unimaginable trauma, she experienced a healing vision of Jesus telling her: “You're safe now.” 31:55From Night Terrors to Peace Since that moment with Jesus, she has not had a single night terror. Though still healing, the transformation began in one moment of divine presence. 32:18God's Special Grace for the Vulnerable Ryan and the host reflect on how children—especially those with special needs or trauma—often experience heaven in unique, personal ways. “Why would we think otherwise? Our God is so good.” 33:22Karma vs. the Gospel: Identity and Worth in Nepal Ryan explains how Hindu and Buddhist worldviews contribute to generational oppression and trafficking—especially among the Badi people in Nepal, known nationally as “the trafficked caste.” “Until the gospel comes in and transforms their identity… they believe they deserve to be abused.” 34:48The Gospel is Exploding Despite deep-rooted oppression, the gospel is transforming hearts around the world. One academic missions expert summed it up: “Jesus is crushing it.” 36:47When Prayer Doesn't Make Sense (But You Obey Anyway) Even when the Spirit's answer seems illogical, obedience is the path of wisdom and safety. 38:13When Partners Are Imprisoned or Martyred Heart-wrenching updates from global partners, some of whom are jailed or martyred for sharing the gospel. “We created a separate fund for the widows of martyred and imprisoned partners.” 38:46Their Prayer: Let the Gospel Go Fast Despite persecution, these leaders pray not for safety but for speed—that the good news would spread rapidly. 40:02Stop Selling, Start Loving The global church models evangelism not as performance or pressure, but as presence, prayer, and love. “In America, we don't pray as much and feel like we need to be salesmen.” 40:36 — Neuroscience and Prayer Habits Research shows: 20 minutes of prayer a day for 8 weeks can literally rewire your brain—reducing fear, anxiety, and increasing joy and openness. “Our bodies are wired to fight prayer. We have to train them.” 41:49 — Free Prayer Tools Ryan mentions free downloadable prayer habit cards at LeadWithPrayer.com, designed to help individuals, families, and ministries build consistent, life-giving prayer rhythms. 43:06 — Fighting for His Daughter in Prayer Ryan shares a personal, vulnerable story of laying face-down outside his daughter's room for months, praying for breakthrough. “I don't know why it took so long—but there is a war.” 43:45 — Spiritual Battles Are Real A chilling moment of spiritual connection: a man in South East Asia has identical nightmares to Ryan's daughter—confirming they were fighting the same battle from across the world. “We were fighting together.” 46:22 — With Him, Either Way Whether through cancer, trauma, or unanswered prayer, being with Jesus is always the goal. The joy of the global church often comes from this eternal mindset. “If the goal of life is to be like Jesus, then cancer was finishing school.” 47:57 — Your Kids Aren't Your Own Surrendering your children to God's leadership is painful—but essential. Whether it's through a miracle or a challenge, they are gifts to steward. “The gifts are both miracles and challenges.” 52:04 — Intimacy Through Surrender The most profound joy comes not from ease, but from intimacy with God in suffering. Every story in Lead With Prayer ends the same way: it was worth it, because He was there. “Desire His presence… even when you don't know what's next.”

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A single document from 1968 somehow describes the world we're living in right now. We pick up Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae and ask a blunt question: if contraception was supposed to make sex safer, marriage easier, and society calmer, why are we surrounded by divorce, pornography, fatherlessness, hookup culture, and a deep confusion about identity and meaning?Linda Piper walks with us through the “contraceptive mentality” and why it doesn't stay limited to the bedroom. We unpack Paul VI's four warnings: how contraception makes infidelity easier, lowers sexual morality across the culture, reduces respect for women, and invites governments and institutions to treat fertility like a problem to manage. From there we connect the dots to modern claims about contraception rights, abortion, and the feeling many young people carry that something is off even if they can't yet name it.If this conversation helps you see your relationships and your choices with new clarity, subscribe, share it with a friend who's searching, and leave a review so more people can find it.Read Linda's article on X at John Paul II Renewal or on Substack "The World Changes When We Pass On What is True, Good and Beautiful" Visit Claymore and Get a copy of the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook! Support the show

What does it look like to bring hope, healing, and the Gospel to Indigenous communities across America? On today's Mid-South View Point #radioshow we sit down with Clint Greene, founder of Native American Indigenousness Ministry, for a powerful conversation about faith, identity, and answering God's call. As a Native American believer, Clint shares the deeply personal journey that led him to launch this ministry and his passion for encouraging pastors and reaching Indigenous peoples with the love of Christ. From overcoming obstacles to building trust within communities, Clint opens up about the unique challenges and victories he's experienced along the way. Clint discusses: • The mission and vision behind Native American Indigenousness Ministry • The life experiences that prepared him for this calling • The spiritual and cultural challenges of reaching Indigenous communities • Why encouragement and discipleship among Indigenous pastors matters now more than ever

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”In a world that often feels disconnected from the divine, many of us grapple with profound questions about identity, purpose, and love. Saint Catherine of Siena once said that if you become who you truly are, you would light the world on fire. This echoes the sentiments of John Paul II and Saint Athanasius, who spoke of the deep yearning inscribed in each human heart—a longing for a divine connection that can transform our lives. In this Episode we delve into these themes, particularly through the lens of Saint Augustine's journey and the insights from the Claymore Battle Plan.To start, we must recognize that our hearts are filled with desires to love and be loved. Yet, they can also be confused and hurt, struggling to find coherence in our experiences. In *Act 26* from the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook, we explore how the gospel intersects with our lived experiences. This interaction leads us to our "aha moment," where we encounter Jesus Christ and begin to understand our true purpose. Visit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan and connection to other men! Support the show

There are moments in life that break us and moments that remake us. Mo Isom Aiken's story is one of both. From an Elite Division 1, All-American athlete to a woman haunted by trauma, addiction, and suicidal despair, Mo's life took a dramatic turn when a near-fatal car crash became the very altar where heaven met earth. What followed was a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit that not only saved her life, but ignited a transformation so complete it would ripple through her marriage, her motherhood, and her mission around the world. This isn't just a story of redemption. It's a call to awaken to the invisible spiritual warfare waging over every soul—and to the freedom that comes with surrendering everything. In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer sits down with Mo Isom Aiken for an unfiltered, deeply moving conversation that spans trauma, healing, and the raw power of a life fully yielded to Jesus. Mo opens up about growing up in the Bible Belt, navigating father wounds and performance-based identity, and the spiritual warfare that nearly claimed her life. Together, they explore Mo's radical encounter with God in the wreckage of her Jeep, the prophetic call that led her family from a fifth-wheel RV across 48 states to the mission fields of Nigeria, and the power of intercession that reshaped her view of prayer entirely. This episode is for the believer who feels stuck in cycles of shame or silence, the seeker longing to hear God's voice again, or the weary warrior who needs to remember what it means to defect from the kingdom of darkness and live fully alive in Christ. Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode: Gain deeper understanding of how a supernatural encounter with God can occur amidst unimaginable personal tragedy.

Just as no man can serve two masters, we cannot live in both worlds. That lie keeps us stuck, powerless, and numb to God's call. Cultural Christianity is an illusion; we should consider what full surrender actually looks like. Mo Isom Aiken, a former All-American athlete turned revivalist and prophetic voice shares her story of defection from darkness—and the fire of obedience that followed. [02:56] Mo Isom Aiken: Childhood and Early Life Mo discovered her identity through competitive sports. Despite being raised in a Christian household, her faith was cultural and lacked deep personal roots. She describes the impact of early exposure to pornography and the pressure of performance-based love from her father. Her struggle with an eating disorder and need for control remained hidden behind a mask of success. [12:22] Transition to College and Personal Struggles At LSU, Mo excels as an All-American goalkeeper but continues battling inward brokenness. [13:02] Mo: “How much of my true self and my true life can people handle? Because they have this picture of me, and yet I am destroyed inside.” Her father committed suicide, devastating Mo both emotionally and spiritually. She turns to sexual sin, secrecy, and self-harm, wrestling with suicidal thoughts and tormenting spiritual voices. Though publicly praised, she describes living with private torment and deep spiritual oppression. [20:54] Spiritual Awakening and Healing Mo survives a violent car crash and has a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit while trapped in the wreckage. She describes the weight and wonder of God's presence as overwhelming yet freeing. [22:58] Mo: “The kingdom of darkness was literally mad because things had been set up in my life that my gifts, my talents, my destiny, my anointing, my very God, given fingerprint of God, purpose was going to be leveraged for evil was going to advance the kingdom of darkness, if not for the mercy of Jesus” In that moment, she chooses full surrender to Jesus and receives a baptism of fire Through FCA, she found a godly community, received a baptism at LSU, and experienced revival. A two-year intimacy fast sets the stage for meeting her husband, Jeremiah, and building a Christ-centered family. [56:44] Mission to Nigeria and Angelic Visit Mo recounts a dream where an angel tells her she'll go to Nigeria to forge a deeper connection to the divine. Initially resistant due to fear for her children, she surrenders and receives confirmation from her mentors. The family spent eight months in Lagos serving under Nigerian spiritual leaders. Their time becomes a season of discipleship, humility, and spiritual equipping for future ministry. [1:14:19] The Power of Prayer: Greatest Takeaway from Nigeria Mo describes prayer as the single greatest lesson from their mission season. In Nigeria, daily prayer was non-negotiable—fostering spiritual strength, wisdom, and breakthrough. She challenges Western believers to move prayer from a fallback to a foundation. Prayer, she emphasizes, is the gateway to discernment, power, and intimacy with God. [1:21:24] Teaching the Next Generation to Prioritize Prayer Mo and Reagan discuss the difficulty of maintaining a prayerful life amid Western busyness and distractions. Mo explains how she and Jeremiah are raising their children to see prayer as essential, not optional. They commit to resisting hustle culture and modeling devotion in everyday life. Mo calls for prayer warriors to arise—those who walk in reverence, not performance. [1:32:39] Spiritual Warfare and the Call to Live Fully Surrendered Mo prays a powerful blessing over listeners for renewal, healing, and sanctification. Revival begins in surrendered hearts, not just pulpits; it is in living God's Word to be kind and loving to all those around you. It is our time to live fully awake, defecting from darkness and advancing God's Kingdom with boldness.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”If you've ever felt like you got dropped into the middle of a movie and missed the first half, you know the quiet anxiety that follows. We start with a deceptively simple question from Stephen Covey: are you building your life with the end in mind, or just reacting to whatever hits you next?We pull from Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body and his “triptych” view of the human story: what love was meant to be, how the fall distorts desire, and where we're actually going. That bigger horizon changes how we talk about same-sex attraction, lust, marriage, and even the daily grind of work and family life. We also get very practical: the Claymore 10-minute morning ritual (before you touch your phone), why temptation isn't automatically sin, and how “praying with temptation” becomes the difference between repression and real healing.Visit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan for Young Men! Then we go deeper into the end goal: heaven. Jesus' words about the resurrection reshape what we think marriage is for, why love can't be reduced to sex, and how confession and mercy rebuild a distorted view of love into something true and joyful. If you're tired of grayscale spirituality and want a Catholic worldview that actually makes sense of your body, your desires, and your destiny, hit play.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Email Jack with questions and comments to answer and discuss on future episodes! jack@ClaymoreMilitesChristi.com.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A universe with a beginning is a strange kind of good news and it's not just for physicists. We sit down with historian and prolific author Russell Lawson to follow a 2,500-year thread most people never hear: for centuries, doing science was often understood as a pious act, a way of reading creation with awe, patience, and humility. When that older posture fades, we don't just lose “religion” we lose meaning, purpose, and the courage to ask the biggest questions. We dig into the cultural turn Lawson calls modernization: the move from rural life to industrial cities, from silence to constant noise, and from “God's providence is real” to “humans can fix everything.” That modern mindset can feel powerful, but it can also leave people stuck in cognitive dissonance...resulting in anxiety, and spiritual exhaustion... especially when the heart is searching for love and the mind is still searching for truth. Then we get concrete with science and the Big Bang. Father Georges Lemaitre, a Catholic priest and mathematician, helps introduce the idea of an expanding universe and a real beginning. The more astronomy pushes toward the singularity, the clearer the limit becomes: science can trace physical evidence back to a start, but it cannot answer what came before time. That boundary doesn't destroy science; it invites humility and opens a sane conversation about God. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves science or struggles with meaning!More on Russell Lawson!

What have modern Christians missed about spiritual warfare? Have we overly focused on demonic exorcisms and missed the cosmic worldview, as found in Scripture, and what that means for how we encounter the spiritual realm? In the spirit of Michael Heiser, Dr. Joel Muddamalle argues that there is an unseen battle taking place that helps us make better sense of evil powers and equips us to conquer them through Christ.Joel Muddamalle, Ph.D. is the director of theology and research at Proverbs 31 Ministries and cohosts the Therapy and Theology podcast. He speaks frequently at churches, conferences, and events and has a significant ministry on social media, which can be found at @muddamalle or online at www.muddamalle.com==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.  

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Your desires are not random, and they are not meant to be medicated into silence or fed with whatever the culture is selling. We slow down and take a hard, hopeful look at what the heart is really reaching for, using Acts Six of the Claymore Battle Plan and Jesus' blunt words to the Sadducees about the resurrection. When you see the story in “three panels” creation, fall, and fulfillment you start to understand why marriage, sexuality, and longing can't be explained in flat, two-dimensional terms. We also get personal and pastoral. After a talk, a young man shares his anxiety about attraction and whether he is still welcome in the Church. We answer with clarity and compassion: your deepest identity is not your temptations, your labels, or your fears, but beloved child of God. From there we widen the lens through Saint John Paul II's Theology of the Body, where marriage is a real gift and a real sign, ordered toward something eternal rather than trapped in the temporary. Everything comes to a head in the Eucharist, the supreme spousal sign of Christ's self-gift: “This is my body given for you.” We talk about wounded desire after the fall, the courage to seek truth, and the concrete “knees before phone” Claymore 10-minute morning ritual from the Claymore Battle Plan Outline, and the simple practice of reading an ACT a day from the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook and sharing it with a friend. If you've been stuck trying to fill infinite desire with finite fixes, this is your invitation to start living in 3D. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review telling us what desire you're learning to trust.Email Jack with questions and comments to answer and discuss on future episodes! jack@ClaymoreMilitesChristi.com.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The most disturbing stories at the border aren't numbers, they're names we never learn. We respond to a clip of reporter Ben Bergquam stepping outside a church to face protesters head-on, and the exchange becomes a window into something bigger: what happens to a culture when it trades truth for slogans and formation for outrage.We talk through the border crisis in human terms, focusing on the vulnerability of innocents and the ways cartels profit when order breaks down. The conversation raises hard questions about illegal immigration, border security, ICE enforcement, and the role of NGOs that receive public funding while facilitating movement across the border. We also unpack the mindset behind easy answers like “tax the billionaires,” and why that kind of thinking spreads faster in a society that has lost shared moral ground.From there, we zoom out to the deeper framework that drives the whole show: the Claymore three-step battle plan. We argue that lasting renewal starts in the human heart, strengthens marriage and the family, and then rebuilds culture through truth, virtue, sacrifice, and love. You'll hear practical next steps, including the Claymore handbook and a simple 10-minute morning ritual designed to pull you out of the spirit of the age and back into prayer, clarity, and courageous action.Visit Claymore Milites Christi to learn more about the Battle Plan for Young Men! Email Jack with questions and comments to answer and discuss on future episodes! jack@ClaymoreMilitesChristi.com. If this conversation challenges you, share it with someone who needs a better framework than outrage.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A child can be treated like a purchase, and a pregnancy can be treated like a contract dispute. When that happens, we are not just arguing policy, we are watching the meaning of human dignity collapse in real time. I take you straight into the heart of Act Five, The Fall and the Call to Be a Man of God, and I name what I believe is the central conflict of our age: an all-out attack on marriage, the family, and the most innocent among us.I break down two disturbing surrogacy stories that show how quickly children can become commodities: one involving a legal loophole that allows surrogacy where adoption would be restricted, and another involving a third-trimester abortion demanded because a baby was missing fingers. Check out this episode on Video: https://www.youtube.com/@johnpauliirenewalcenter4023From there, I widen the lens to spiritual warfare, using Ephesians 6 to explain why the cultural pressure feels relentless and why confusion spreads when sin becomes “normal.”Then I anchor the response in Pope Saint John Paul II's Letter to Families (1994) and the Theology of the Body. We talk about the “sincere gift of self,” why the family is a communion of persons, how fatherhood and motherhood reflect God's creative love, and why every person's identity is tied to a real genealogy that begins with a mother and a father. I also lay out the Claymore three-step battle plan: get your own heart and house in order on Christ, rebuild a true vision of marriage and family, and then work so our culture and laws reflect the beauty of authentic love.If you want a clear Catholic framework for marriage, family, the culture of life, and what faithful men can do right now, listen through to the end.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”You can feel it, even if you can't always name it: the pressure, the drift, the sense that something essential about love and manhood is under attack. We step into Act Five of the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook to name the fight without flinching. The claim is bold and clarifying: every man is made for adventure, the adventure is a battle, and the battle is for beauty, especially the beauty of authentic love.We use Saint John Paul II's “triptych” to zoom out and see the whole story, the beginning, the fall, and what redemption is moving us toward. From there, we let Jesus define the battleground. In the Sermon on the Mount, he goes straight for the heart, where lust turns persons into objects and where real freedom begins. That has direct consequences for pornography, dating, marriage, and the kind of strength it takes to protect women and children rather than consume them.We also look at how the fall gets normalized in modern culture, where bodies are marketed, fame and pleasure are sold as fulfillment, and men are trained to surrender attention and conscience. But we don't stay in diagnosis. We move to hope with traction: grace is stronger than sin, Christ brings transforming power, and the way forward looks like prayer, self-mastery, brotherhood, and a renewed vision of marriage and family as the heartbeat of civilization. We point you to practical next steps, knees before the phone, the Claymore 10-minute morning ritual, then reading One ACT from the Battle Plan Handbook to share with a brother, plus a way to send in your thoughts for a follow-up.Subscribe for the next conversation, share this with a brother who needs his heart back, and leave a review so more men can find it.

In Ephesians 6:10–13, Pastor Jake urges listeners to be strong in the Lord, framing the Christian life as a spiritual battle. He describes believers as soldiers standing firm against spiritual forces that aim to pull them away from God. The strength required is God's, accessed by donning His armor. These attacks are often subtle—gradual drift, quiet temptation, or overwhelming circumstances that lead to doubt or to turning away from God. The schemes aim to separate us from Christ. The message ends with a call to perseverance, emphasizing that through Jesus' victory, believers have everything needed to stand firm. Relying on His strength and walking in His truth, righteousness, and peace helps us endure trials. The goal is endurance, so we remain in Christ when it's over.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's battles? Spiritual warfare is real. And we are active participants instead of spectators. The good news is we are not fighting alone or in our own strength. God equips us with everything we need to stand firm, and when we fall, his grace restores us. Listen now and be inspired to put on God's armor today and face your struggles with renewed confidence and power.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A teenage girl gets told her body is the problem, gets put on powerful drugs, and loses her breasts before she can even vote. That story isn't just shocking. It forces a harder question: what happens to kids when adults replace real healing with “affirmation,” and when parents feel pressured to surrender their role out of fear?We're joined by Fred Scola as we discuss Act Four of the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook, and go back to Genesis and the words of Jesus that point us to the model: in the beginning, it was not so. We talk about John Paul II's vision of the body, why male and female matters, and how marriage and the family are meant to make God's love visible. We also get practical about Catholic parenting and spiritual formation when the culture says “my truth” is all that exists.Visit Claymore milites Christi  Learn more and share the vision!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A 16-year-old girl receives a double mastectomy, later detransitions, and a jury awards $2 million in damages. That headline isn't just a news cycle to us, it's a flare shot into the night that forces a real question: what does the human body mean, and who is protecting the young when they're most confused and vulnerable? I connect that crisis to the deeper spiritual battle we're living through, where institutions often choose slogans over truth and where “affirmation” can replace real healing.From there, I make the case that no politician, celebrity, or distant leader is going to ride in and rescue your family, your marriage, or the hurting people right in front of you. There is a hero in the story, and God keeps choosing men who will unite themselves to Jesus Christ in prayer and in the Eucharist, then carry the Gospel person to person. I walk through the Claymore Battle Plan and the two asks: knees before the phone with the Claymore 10-minute morning prayer ritual, and a short daily reading and reflection that forms you to Become Who You Are!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Evil rarely announces itself. More often it blends in, turns the temperature up one degree at a time, and convinces good people that numbness to sin is normal. Jack is with Claymore leader Dan McSweeney to talk plainly about the spiritual battle playing out in modern life and why so many young men feel drained, isolated, and stuck, even when everything looks “fine” on the surface. If you're watching marriages crumble, seeing addiction, especially to p*rnogra$hy (not a typo) become common, or feeling your own heart go passive, this conversation puts words to what's happening and why it matters.We also tackle a hard objection head-on: is the Church just a pile of rules? We walk through why the Ten Commandments are designed to set you free, not box you in. Freedom isn't “anything goes.” Freedom is the ability to love without fear, build trust, protect your family, and live with integrity when the culture pushes the opposite. Jack shares how the Catechism begins with desire and authentic love, reframing Catholic faith as a love story rather than a scolding, and why that changes the way a man fights the battle between love and lust.Then we get practical. Claymore's simple spiritual formation plan is built for real life: ten minutes of morning prayer before the phone, and a short nightly reading rhythm that can reshape your heart in 52 days. We talk about brotherhood, accountability, and why you should never try to do this alone, especially when spiritual resistance shows up after you start changing.Subscribe for more conversations on Catholic men's formation and the spiritual battle, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to help more men find the Claymore Battle Plan.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Evil doesn't usually kick down the door. It slips in while we're busy, distracted, and telling ourselves we'll think about the big questions later. We talk about why so many men don't choose evil outright, but still end up cooperating with it through drift, silence, and “just doing my job.”We use the idea of the banality of evil to name what's happening, drawing on Hannah Arendt's reporting on Adolf Eichmann and the unnerving truth that massive harm can be carried out by ordinary, morally numb people. From there we widen the lens to the mystery of evil as spiritual warfare, not just politics or psychology, and we ask what it means to live in a culture that normalizes sin, denies objective truth, and fractures the family through addictions, abortion, and confusion about identity and love.Then we get practical: knees before screens, The Claymore 10-minute morning ritual that includes praying through temptation, followed by a simple 5-minute evening plan through the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook designed to form men fast over 52 days. Find everything here!

With headlines dominated by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—the narrow gateway through which so much of the world's oil and natural gas flows—we are inundated with analysis: What will the United States do? What will Iran do? What will Israel, Europe, the global powers decide? The noise of daily events is relentless.But in all this, we risk losing sight of the deeper question, the most important question of all: Why?Why is it that the Middle East—just a sliver of the earth's surface, roughly 3.4% of the global landmass—contains close to 60% of the world's known oil reserves and over 40% of its natural gas? Is this merely coincidence? Or is there something deeper at play in a region that has stood at the crossroads of history, conflict, and destiny for thousands of years?Consider what oil truly represents. It is not just a commodity, it is the lifeblood of modern civilization. It fuels our transportation, powers our homes and industries, sustains agriculture, and shapes the very infrastructure of our lives. The world quite literally runs on it.And then consider this: in 1908, one of the first major oil discoveries in the region was made in southwestern Persia, in a place called Masjed Soleyman—named for King Solomon, and tied to a region steeped in profound spiritual history. You'll be surprised to learn how the breaking news was delivered about this discovery of oil, through a coded message from the book of… Psalms!Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this vital discussion as we ask the important questions: Is it all coincidence? Or is there a deeper design, an intersection of the material and the spiritual, the physical resource and its inner meaning? When we step back and look beyond the headlines, when we uncover the secrets hidden in oil, we begin to uncover a broader, more profound picture—one that sheds light on the cosmic, historical, and spiritual forces shaping our world today.

Tragically, many Christians are virtually ignorant of spiritual warfare.
