Standing Firm: How the Armor of God Equips Christian Leaders for Spiritual Warfare
Every leader faces battles they can’t always see, discouragement, division, and confusion. In this episode of Equipped for Purpose, we’re looking into Ephesians 6 and unpacking the Armor of God, not as a Sunday school metaphor, but as an everyday leadership necessity. I’ll walk through each piece of armor, connect it to leadership vulnerabilities, and share practical rhythms for making this more than a theory. You’ll also hear a simple Spot • Shield • Speak framework you can teach your team so they can stand firm in truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word.
Key Takeaways:
- The Armor of God is God’s provision for spiritual resilience, not our performance.
- Each piece of armor addresses a specific leadership vulnerability.
- Spiritual authority is rooted in alignment with God, not charisma.
- Prayer is the atmosphere that makes the armor effective.
- Spot • Shield • Speak is a simple framework for equipping teams to discern and respond to spiritual battles.
Reflection Questions:
- Which piece of God’s armor do you most naturally wear—and which do you most often neglect? Why?
- Where did you experience opposition in the past two weeks—discouragement, confusion, conflict? Which armor piece—and which Scripture—will you lean into this week?
- Picture victorious spiritual leadership in your context: what would your team’s culture look and feel like if you consistently wore the armor—truthful, righteous, peace-filled, faith-anchored, secure in Christ, and Scripture-saturated?
