In this episode, we step into the basics of building a strong spiritual defense, where we learn the two essential foundations that keep everything else steady: preparation and security. Together we discover how honest awareness of our vulnerabilities and what truly matters (our faith, family, and walk with God) builds an early warning system before storms hits, while guarding our hearts and minds (through Scripture, alertness, and the power of community) creates a 360-degree defense that the enemy can’t easily sneak past or breach.

In this final episode that covers our uniform and individual warrior tasks, we are talking about the labels on our uniform that identify as up close as individuals in God's army. Those labels are seen through the unconditional love we show to others through kindness and gentleness. When clearly seen by others, our identity is unmistakable to the world.

This is part two of our uniform and focuses on the colors or standard under which we march. Our joy are these colors. Just like a US flag patch on the modern uniform of an American soldier, our color of joy identifies who we fight for when we constantly lift up God because of His goodness and faithfulness. When we display these same Fruits of the Spirit to others, we become flag-bearers of that joy in the world around us.

In the military today, soldier's have more than just weapons, tools, and armor that protects them. They all wear a uniform that is designed to work best in a combat environment, but it also identifies who they are. This episode talks about the pattern or camouflage of that uniform as Peace. Peace is a spiritual attribute that allows us to maintain our position in a world filled with chaos.

With all the tools that God has equipped, we look to how each of us must be involved in the battles around us. Every soldier is called to participate, and when looking at my experience in military, they can be summarized down to three actions: Shoot, move, and communicate. These three simple actions translate to our ability to resist the enemy, our constant movement closer to God, and our open communication with Him to stay connected.

This episode continues our talk about the other weapons we have as Christians. Worship, fasting, and blessing others are powerful tools that help us execute a part of God's battle plan in the world around us. They have given to use for His glory and purpose, so we need to know why and how.

Beyond the Armor of God, we know that we have more weapons available to us in our spiritual battles. We have a whole arsenal of tools that make us more effective at engaging the enemy. Scripture and prayer are two of these. One provides us with training, testing, and wisdom while the other helps us to communicate and stay connected with God. They are critical to make us better soldiers in God's army.
