Ephesians 6:17 calls us to take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. But what does it look like to use God’s word as a weapon in everyday battles?
In this week’s episode, Angie and Katie unpack how the sword of the Spirit is more than head knowledge. It’s Scripture lived out. When we let truth shape our thoughts, guide our decisions, and speak into our pain, we fight back against the enemy’s lies with the very strength God supplies.
Through word studies, commentary insights, and personal stories, we explore how the Holy Spirit brings Scripture to life within us, reminding us of what is true, equipping us to stand firm, and guiding us to walk in victory. The sword of the Spirit is a gift. And when we raise it, we move forward in power that isn’t ours but His.
Ephesians 6:17b (NIV)
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
