In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the spiritual warfare that every believer faces in the battle of "Soul vs. Satan." Drawing from key scriptures, we uncover how our soul stands as the battleground, and why God calls us to put on the full armor to withstand the enemy's tactics and stand firm in truth, purity, and righteousness.
We'll walk through Ephesians 6:10-20, exploring each piece of the armor of God and see how these spiritual tools guard our soul from deception and strengthen our relationship with God. Looking to John 17:15-17, we discuss Jesus' prayer for protection and sanctification for His followers, as He calls us to be “in the world but not of it,” set apart through the truth of God’s Word.
To help us understand the kind of heart that thrives in battle, we reflect on Matthew 5:8, where Jesus blesses the pure in heart, and 1 Samuel 16:6-7, where God looks not at outward appearances but at the heart. We’ll examine how a heart focused on God’s truth and love resists evil.
We also dive into 2 Corinthians 5:16-21, where Paul reminds us that we are a “new creation” in Christ, reconciled to God and ambassadors for His truth. In this reconciliation, God transforms our minds, calling us to resist worldly patterns through the renewing power described in Romans 12:2. Lastly, Hebrews 4:12 reveals how God’s Word discerns our inner thoughts and motives, guiding us in truth and protecting our soul.
Join us in this episode as we arm ourselves with God’s Word, pursue a pure heart, and embrace the transformative power of God’s armor to confront and overcome spiritual battles.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
