Hey BraveCo men! This week, Jay dives deep into spiritual warfare with his dad, Kris Vallotton, revealing why understanding the spiritual battle we face is crucial. Together, they break down Spiritual Warfare 101: where it comes from, how to recognize it, and—most importantly—how to stand firm against the attacks of the enemy.

As Kris puts it, “This wasn’t a subject I chased after; it chased after me.” At 22, he experienced debilitating panic attacks and a breakdown that became a turning point. Now, Jay and Kris share insights into the spiritual layers behind these experiences, showing how facing our battles with faith can lead to freedom.

Here’s the truth: once we’re saved, Satan’s power over us is broken—except for what we give him through fear and belief in his lies. We need to authorize it for him to have any power! Fear opens the door to faith in the wrong kingdom; meditating on fear empowers the very things we’re called to resist.

In this episode, Kris explains how to keep your spiritual "ecosystem" healthy: change what you look for, and you’ll start to see through a new lens. He shares practical tools for discerning what’s from God and what isn’t, helping you spot deception before it takes root.

If you’re looking for a book to dig deeper into this topic with a biblical worldview, we recommend Kris’ book Spirit Wars. Learn how to find freedom, stay free, and step into the authority you’ve been given.
