EPISODE DESCRIPTION

You've named the spiritual battle. You understand the enemy's target identity. You recognize the three forms of resistance—fear, confusion, and discouragement. But here's where most Kingdom entrepreneurs get stuck: they still try to fight the battle alone through their own strength.

in Day 5, Jeff exposes the lie that spiritual warfare requires your superior effort, discipline, and strategy. The truth is more straightforward and more powerful: the battle was already won. Your job isn't to win it—it's to stand in the authority of the One who did.

Discover why resting in Christ's victory is more potent than striving for your own.

KEY SCRIPTURES

Ephesians 6:10-12

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

Colossians 3:1-3

"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Romans 8:37

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Where are you still white-knuckling? In what area of your business or leadership are you still trying to perform your way to peace? Name it specifically.

What would change if you believed the battle is already won? Not just believed it theologically, but actually operated from it. How would your decision-making shift? Your leadership? Your boundaries?

What does "standing in authority" actually look like in your day-to-day? When the fear or confusion shows up tomorrow, what would it mean to recognize it as noise instead of truth? What's one decision you could make from rest instead of striving?

Who or what are you trying to prove something to? This often reveals whether you're still fighting for victory instead of standing in authority.
