#043// Have you ever been goaded into fighting dirty? About a year ago I almost posted something to my social media feeds that would have been in direct opposition to the Biblical verse I consider to be my "life verse." I mean, how does someone who endeavors to make a sound for Jesus and His Kingdom daily find themselves with spiritual ears that have been dulled to the point where they would casually consider doing something like that? Yet, there I was, considering it and asking close friends what they thought. I was looking for permission from people because God clearly wasn't giving me the green light in my spirit. Thankfully, I held back. I never made the post.

Fast forward to just a couple months ago and I thought it might be the right time to post those thoughts from a year ago, so I asked God about it and again, I felt no permission. Then he asked me a question that ultimately woke me up to the potential train wreck I was about to cause if I posted what I'd been considering as a "witty retort." It was right then that I realized just how strong the temptation is for Christians to pick up the weapons the enemy has left strewn all about this battlefield we're on to fight back just like him. And it's a trick. He's trying to take us out.

So if this is a struggle you've been all too familiar with this past year -- the struggle to know how to respond in the midst of unrelenting cancel culture and virtue signaling and flat-out demonic schemes -- and you'd like to know how to respond in a way that's both powerful and God-honoring, then grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and let's get into this episode!
