Our body has been designed to protect our vital organs. Our ribcage and muscles are surprisingly resilient when it comes to bodily harm. However, as technology progresses, so does the risk. From spears and swords to bullets and shrapnel, our bodies cannot protect against such things. However, as the means of offense became more advanced, so did our defense. Thus was born the breastplate; a piece of armor that has evolved drastically over time. Just as we need protection physically, so do we need it spiritually. Fortunately, God has forged a breastplate custom made to protect our spirits. Join the guys in this first installment of exploring all the tools at our disposal to dispatch the enemy.

The storms we know in the physical world are always an environmental threat. In the spiritual world, we’ve covered people and media, both of which also come from your environment.

Today the guys will talk about the first of many spiritual muscles that will be the topic of discussion throughout this podcast: Prayer.
