Today, we begin "Preparation Week" on Karl and Crew. Are we prepared to fight spiritual battles?  Great discussion and insight with Dr. Karl Payne, pastor, teacher, author, and renowned apologist. He is the author of "Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization, and Deliverance."  Dr. Payne is also the founder of the Transferable Cross Training Foundation.  Lead Pastor of Church in the City (Nashville) and former bass player, Matt Smallbone, talks about his new book, "The Prayer Experiment: How Praying Like Jesus Realigns Everything." He shared his experience of intentionally praying the Lord's Prayer every day for a year.  Finally, our best preparation in battle is the Armor of God! We shared a special resource by texting ARMOR to 800-555-7898. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
