Join us as we explore Ephesians 6:18-20

We discuss the Armour of God and why it's so important to prepared for the fight ahead of us. We have a real enemy, and need to dress accordingly, metaphorically speaking.

We explore the power dynamics of both today and those of the 1st century. How does the bible deal with the power structures of the day and how have those translated to our sensibilities today.

We also discover the meaning of anachronism and how understanding it can better serve our study of scripture.
