Episode 102: a conversation with author, preacher, and teacher Kevin Senapatiratne, along with our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. Pastor Kevin travels the world talking about Jesus and prayer through his ministry, Christ Connections. He and Mykelti discuss spiritual warfare, which is the topic of Kevin’s new book, Spiritual Warfare for the Normal Christian.
They talk about common myths and discerning the difference between spiritual attacks and simply living in a fallen world where bad things happen. Kevin explains how spiritual warfare can show up in our lives on a big or small scale. Kevin also discusses the armor of God and offers encouragement and resources for us to keep learning.
