Podcast Description: Season 9 — Dressing for Battle: Gospel Armor for the Fight of Faith
Episode 9 — Take the Sword of the Spirit
In “Take the Sword of the Spirit,” Brian Hedges examines the image of Scripture as both an offensive and defensive weapon in spiritual warfare, grounded in Ephesians 6:10–20. He teaches how the word of God is uniquely “the sword of the Spirit” — forged by the Holy Spirit and empowered to pierce, defend, and advance the Christian’s life. He then gives ten practical ways believers can “take up” this sword in daily living—reading, memorizing, applying, praying, and sharing God’s word in the moment. Outline:
(3:33) 1. The Word Is a Sword
(9:58) 2. The Word Is the Spirit’s Sword
(14:59) 3. How Do We Take This Sword?
