Understanding Spiritual Warfare with Marcus Warner

Marcus Warner is the president of Deeper Walk Int’l and an author very familiar with spiritual warfare. In this episode, Matt Dabbs and Marcus talk about the often overlooked aspects of spiritual warfare like demonic possession in the battles of our minds, and also compulsive behavior and emotional struggles. Warner talks about the how weird it is that in American Christianity we don’t see this a lot, but there is an acute awareness of spiritual warfare in other cultures. We need to be able to recognize spiritual attacks and address them with a biblical worldview rather than solely relying on scientific solutions. Marcus’s journey, influenced by his father's pioneering work in spiritual warfare and deliverance, showcases the transformation possible when individuals and communities recognize and address the spiritual dimensions of their struggles.
