My Southern Godmother 38. What is Spiritual Warfare (and What to Do About It)
Spiritual warfare can sound intense… but it’s also incredibly practical.
In today’s episode, Debbie and I break down what spiritual warfare actually is, what the Bible says about it, and what to do when you feel stuck, anxious, or under attack — mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.
Debbie shares a powerful story and visual from history — the Berlin Wall — to explain what Scripture calls strongholds (a “wall of resistance”) and how those walls can build up over time in our lives. Then we walk through the weapons God gives us to tear them down — not worldly weapons, but ones with divine power (2 Corinthians 10:3–5).
In this episode, we talk about:
- What spiritual warfare is (and what it isn’t)
- What a “stronghold” means and how it forms
- Why the battle is often won or lost in the mind
- How fear, anxiety, and mistrust can become “walls of resistance”
- The 4 weapons God gives us: the Word of God, the Armor of God, Praise, and Prayer
- A simple question to help you identify what wall might need to come down in your life
Question for you: What’s one “wall of resistance” you sense in your life right now — and what would it look like to start tearing it down, brick by brick?
