Whether you're guarding literal ground or the soil of your heart, your freedom in Christ is key.

In this episode, we're closing our 4-part series on practical spiritual warfare.

So you've removed the enemy's claim on a part of your life, ousted him from your land, and begun nurturing new habits to reclaim that area of your life and walk in repentance. What are some strategies for guarding the ground you've just reclaimed — or keeping the enemy from claiming a foothold in the first place(!)?  

We'll be covering topics from walking in the Spirit and the importance of community to answering such questions as... Why couldn't the occultist's spirit guide come to dinner? Did the former owners of this house give ground to the enemy? And more.

Why have some called "repentance" the happiest word in the English language?

In this episode, we're continuing a 4-part series on practical spiritual warfare following a NEW acrostic: S.O.N.G. (Stephanie encourages you to "Whistle while you warfare.") At Deeper Walk, we teach a "no drama," legal approach to spiritual warfare.

So, after you've removed the permission the enemy is claiming to a place in your life and used your authority in Christ to "oust the enemy," it's time to walk out your repentance and nurture new habits. 

Repentance is more than the decision to renounce something but also the follow-through of walking that decision out. This often involves cultivating and nurturing new habits. What are some strategies for walking out our repentance with hope?

Let's demystify spiritual warfare. Reclaiming ground we've surrendered to the enemy doesn't have to be complicated or scary.

In this episode, we're starting a 4-part series on practical spiritual warfare following a NEW acrostic: S.O.N.G. (Stephanie encourages you to "Whistle while you warfare.") At Deeper Walk, we teach a "no drama," legal approach to spiritual warfare. So, when you've recognized you're having a spiritual warfare issue, the first step is to 'Stop giving permission.'

How do you recognize your spiritual warfare issues? For some it's blatantly obvious, but for many it may be as subtle as an unshakeable sense of hopelessness. What are common things that give the demonic permission to a place in our lives? Beyond S.O.U.L.L. (which we frequently work through on the podcast), we also touch on other areas like giving into fear or idolatry. Finally, is it R.E.D.? How to stop giving permission when the occult is involved.

He Is Risen! Happy Easter Monday!

So much of our sense of identity is formed faster than conscious thought. Do we have to just deal with what we're given, or do we have agency in our identity and maturity formation?

This week we're bringing together brain science and biblical identity formation, talking about finding our heart values, building a tower of truth, and more.

Happy Easter Week!

Your sense of identity is deeper than what you can express in words. Last week we talked about the Fast Track of the brain that processes some of this nonverbal understanding. This week, we're looking at the brain's "mirror neurons" to deepen this understanding.

Mirror neurons learn about "me" by looking at "you." This is one of the reasons why community and relationships with people and with God are so important to calling out our true identity.

How Do I Know Who I Am? - The Fast Track to Identity

On the Trail Podcast: Season 3, Episode 22

How did God design our brain to form our sense of identity?

In a new microseries, we're talking about our neurotheological identity. Our primary goal this episode is to understand that our brains operate not only at the speed of conscious thought but also faster than conscious thought. How does this "fast track" of the brain affect our identity formation?
