Gentlemen, the devil’s ambushing your family, faith, and mission—prayer’s your lifeline! Episode 8, "Call For Fire," equips Christian men to pray like warriors. Drawing from a 2003 Iraq firefight and Psalm 34:4, I unpack how prayer crushes fear, anxiety, and strongholds with scriptures like Philippians 4:6-7, James 5:16, and Hebrews 4:16. Learn to call down God’s power to protect your home and lead with biblical masculinity. No prayer, no victory.

Hear a Marine’s Iraq story of obedience outsmarting the enemy, learn to wield submission against Satan (James 4:7-8), and follow Christ’s humble example (Philippians 2:5-8). Lock step with God to lead, fight, and win!
