Spiritual warfare. It’s a topic, that for most people, either gets them fired up and ready to battle the enemy, or it leaves a bad taste in their mouth because of how they’ve been taught or seen it used. Whether you love it or are repelled by it, there’s no denying spiritual warfare is real, and Scripture calls us to it. And as missionaries, we especially cannot ignore it. We are all fighting battles for those we serve, for the countries and cities we are called to, and for our teammates, families, and friends.So, what is a healthy approach to this complex topic? How do we explain it to our kids and others in a way that will empower them instead of scare them? For the last 40 years, Dean Sherman has been a leader in YWAM and worldwide, is a recognized authority on spiritual warfare. He gives missionaries a Scripturally-based, easy-to-understand approach to spiritual warfare that will encourage and embolden you to fight from a place of peace and confidence in Christ.Hey missionaries—how are your finances on the field?
