Are you ready for some football? Join me as I talk about the correlation between the Madden video game and how we see Jesus. You read that right.

The devil and his host of demonic spirits are influencing much of our culture. In this episode we’ll go a little more in depth about how that influence happens, how to avoid it and how to defend ourselves against it.

In war it is easy to spot the enemy. But, we are in a spiritual war and the enemy is much harder to define. In this episode, I talk about one of the enemies of our soul, the devil and his demons and how they are inciting disruption and violence in our lives.

What is obedience and why is it important? In this episode, host Laura K. Beck answers those questions with Biblical evidence of obedience from some of God's chosen people, like Abraham and Mary. There are also passages that show the difficulty with obedience, from the book of Jonah to Paul in Romans. Both of these scenarios are ways we can learn to be obedient to God and carry out the will He has for our lives.

Romans 7:15
