Final Thoughts and Call to Action

Spiritual warfare is real and the armor of God is how you fight back. Most people see the battles in their life — marriage, finances, health, addiction — but they never recognize the spiritual battle behind it all. In this episode of the March or Die Podcast, host Sean Kennard sits down with Pastor Dave Edwards to explain what the Bible says about spiritual warfare, why your suffering is NOT coming from God, and how to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6) to fight the enemy you can't see.

Dave Edwards has spent 25+ years as a traveling Bible teacher, authored 35 books, and now leads Church Project as a pastor. Together, Sean and Dave break down the spiritual warfare scriptures — Ephesians 6, Matthew 12, Daniel 10, and the book of Job — to reveal how the kingdom of light is at war with the kingdom of darkness, and your role in the spiritual battle. If you've been praying and wondering why God allows suffering, this episode will change the way you pray, fight, and believe.

Whether you're a first responder, veteran, or believer going through a spiritual attack — this conversation will shift your perspective from fighting FOR victory to fighting FROM victory.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:
- What does the Bible say about spiritual warfare? It's real, not metaphorical
- Why does God allow suffering? He doesn't. Jesus came to oppose it
- Is this spiritual warfare or just my own bad decisions? How to tell the difference

- How to pray spiritual warfare prayers with authority (not "if it be your will")
- Spiritual attack: How the kingdom of darkness is organized against you
- Jesus vs. the enemy 4 rounds (Desert → Ministry → Cross → Resurrection)
- The book of Job explained what it ACTUALLY means (and what it doesn't)
- Daniel 10:13 Why your prayers aren't answered immediately
- The power of community, brotherhood, and deliverance prayer

Closing Thoughts and Call to Action

When war dominates the headlines, parents are left asking an important question: How do we talk to our kids about it? In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker shares practical and biblical principles for guiding young people through confusing and frightening global events.

Drawing from his experience as a Marine who lived through the wars following 9/11, Jeremy explains why moments of global conflict can become powerful opportunities for parents to teach their children about courage, faith, and moral clarity. Rather than avoiding difficult conversations, parents can use them to help their kids understand fear, the reality of evil in the world, and the responsibility we have to stand for what is right.

This conversation explores how parents can alleviate fear, explain why conflict exists, and demonstrate a faith-filled response when the world seems chaotic. Jeremy also discusses the importance of teaching children the difference between necessary and unnecessary violence, why standing against evil matters, and how faith in God provides stability even in uncertain times.

Ultimately, the goal is not just to help kids understand today’s headlines, but to prepare them for the battles they will face in their own lives. If you are raising the next generation in a confusing world, this episode will help you equip them with truth, courage, and faith.

What happens when the war goes on without you?

Retired Army Master Sergeant Marcus McClain shares his journey from rural Indiana to multiple combat deployments, being wounded in Afghanistan, and facing the unexpected identity crisis that followed leaving the military. For nearly twenty years, he was “Sergeant Mac.” His purpose was clear. His mission mattered. His tempo was relentless. But when he found himself in a hospital bed in Germany realizing the war was continuing without him, something shifted.

In this conversation, Marcus opens up about the dangerous trap of tying your identity to a title, rank, or profession. He shares the struggle of transitioning out of the Army at 38 years old and discovering he didn’t know who he was outside of the uniform. Success and drive masked deeper issues. Anger, restlessness, and burnout began to surface. Eventually, he had to confront a hard truth: maybe the problem wasn’t everyone else. Maybe it was him.

We talk about faith, humility, and the two words that have reshaped his life: grace and rest. For a high performer who has always led from the front, learning to slow down and let God lead has been one of the hardest battles yet. Marcus also explains how rucking became more than fitness it became a tool for mental clarity, spiritual focus, and intentional space to hear from God without distraction.

Whether you’re a veteran navigating transition, a leader in the corporate world, or someone who feels lost when the mission changes, this episode will challenge you to separate who you are from what you do. Your job may be important, but it is not your identity.
