Episode 238: Spiritual Warfare Explained: The Armor of God, Truth & Christian Leadership.
What is spiritual warfare, and how does it affect the way we think, live, and lead? Is every difficult situation a spiritual attack, or are we overlooking a deeper reality behind the struggles we experience?
In this episode of The Today Counts Show, Jim Piper and Winston Harris explore the biblical understanding of spiritual warfare through Ephesians 6 and Paul’s teaching on the Armor of God. They unpack what it means to recognize the reality of good and evil without falling into fear, paranoia, or the opposite extreme of ignoring the spiritual dimension of life.
This conversation examines how spiritual warfare can influence our thoughts, beliefs, decisions, and everyday experiences—and why understanding biblical truth is essential to standing firm in the middle of life’s challenges.
In this episode, you’ll explore:

WHAT DOES SPIRITUAL WARFARE HAVE TO DO WITH LEADERSHIP?
More than we might realize. The beliefs that shape our lives also shape the way we lead. Whether you’re navigating a difficult conversation with an employee, confronting a personal struggle, making decisions under pressure, or trying to lead with integrity, what you believe matters.
For business leaders, ministry leaders, young professionals, and anyone seeking to grow in their faith, this conversation challenges you to look beyond the surface, examine what you believe, and build your life on the truth of God’s Word.
Spiritual warfare is real, but fear isn’t our response. We are called to stand firm in God’s strength.
