Spiritual gifts are real and biblical, but often unclear and confusing to us. In today's episode, Jonathan, Matt, and Lauren walk us through a practical definition of what spiritual gifts are. How and when do we get them? How do we discover what spiritual gifts we were given? Additionally, we walk you through a list of several spiritual gifts that a Christian may have that are purposeful for glorifying God and edifying the Church.

In last week's episode, we uncovered and discussed who the enemy of this world is and how he affects and influences the world around us. As we continue in our series, now we discuss how we protect ourselves as Christians from evil and the influence of sin. What does it mean to make a battle plan against the enemy? What does it mean to put on the full armor of God? And what significance does it have to know Jesus Christ has already won the war amongst the battles we face of this world?

Continuing on our new series, Matt, Lauren, and Jonathan lead us in questions and discussions about the devil. Who is he? What's his strategy and mission? Who does he target and why?

Scripture tells us we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil that we cannot see. What exactly does this mean? In our new series, we will discuss all things spiritual. Jonathan and Lauren walk us through common questions and give you a substantial preview of what's to come in the coming weeks!
