So, for today’s episode I will be talking about how your age doesn’t disqualify God from using you to help advance His kingdom.

Hey y’all welcome back to episode 12 of the podcast! This week is actually the last episode for season 1 and will also wrap up our two part series on spiritual warfare. It has been a great first season and I hope y’all have enjoyed it and learned something as well! For today’s discussion I go into each piece of the armor of God and give a brief summary over what each piece represents and how it can and should be applied to our life! I didn’t use any articles for this episode but rather I allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me on what to say and how to say it! I’m learning that God gives us as individuals different points to make and we should allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us! I’m going to try my best for the next season to have more of my personal perspective and use what the Lord has showed me about the topic! I still will probably use articles at some point because I do value what the Lord gives others to say! Bible Hub Reference for the number 949 :https://biblehub.com/greek/949.htm I didn’t mention this in the episode but I recently finished reading a book about spiritual warfare and I think it is such a great read! I highly recommend looking into this book because the author gives such great insight into spiritual warfare and how it can look for us. The tittle of the book is called “ What about Spiritual Warfare?” It’s by Douglas J. Rumford. Thank y’all for the support y’all have given me for this first season! I really do hope you will continue to join me for season 2! Jesus loves y’all and I love y’all too! See you soon! 😊❤️
