Armor: Grace, Fire, and the Narrow Way
HERE'S THE SONG I AM TALKING ABOUT. GO LISTEN, COME BACK HERE, THEN, GO LISTEN AGAIN: “Armor” — Jason Boland
- Hear it, too: “Dark and Dirty Mile” — Jason Boland & The Stragglers
In this Theology in Three Chords episode, we lay Jason Boland’s “Armor” on the table like a well-worn psalter and listen for the gospel in the grooves. We trace how the song stitches Psalm 23 and Psalm 27 into a patchwork of trust, walks us through the valley without flinching, and reframes the “armor of God” (Ephesians 6) as grit and steadiness rather than conquest. From Isaiah’s fire that doesn’t consume to Daniel’s fourth man in the furnace, from Jesus’ narrow way as homesickness (Matthew 7) to the great cloud of witnesses singing along (Hebrews 12; Revelation 7), this one preaches: grace first, then transformation. Whether your armor’s shining or dented from a long road, the Shepherd hasn’t left you—and the porch light’s still on.

If this midnight gospel finds you—like, share, and subscribe so the circle stays unbroken and the static keeps carrying grace to somebody else tuning in late. Amen?
