Who are Deb and Mary?

Spiritual Warfare or Mental Illness? Or both? These are two complex, controversial topics in both Christian and secular spheres. There are so many questions surrounding these themes: How should  Christians view the reality of Spiritual Warfare in tandem with mental illness? Could “flaming darts of the evil one” also be called “intrusive thoughts?" What is the posture for a believer in putting on the whole armor of God in connection to their mental health? Can a spiritual attack look or feel like or BE an issue with mental health? How does prayer play a role in this? 

 

There is so much to decipher! Join us this week as Deb and Mary dive into Ephesians 6 in discerning how Spiritual Warfare and Mental Illness play a role in the life of the body of Christ.
