Could the monster in the closet be real? How can we help children who see scary things?

How does our worldview inform what we believe is possible?

Today we’re continuing our prequel discussion of spiritual warfare before launching our next book study.

Last episode we addressed the reality of so many Christians who think spiritual warfare is not something to concern everyday believers. And it’s understandable. For many people, normal life doesn’t seem to be infested with demons. And honestly, others find it easy to see a demon or nephilim behind every rock. So we’re trying to help contextualize what we mean by “spiritual warfare.”

In this On the Trail episode, we get into some niche topics like sleep paralyis, haunted houses, and UFOs. We're also talking about how to help children when they experience spiritual warfare and looking broadly at the impact of worldview on how we interact with life and spiritual realities.

Next week we start a new book study: What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare. You don't need an advanced degree in spiritual warfare. But just like knowing that washing your hands helps against germs or how to put on a bandaid, there's some spiritual first aid every Christian should understand.
