Powers, Principalities & Persecution (Part II with Steven W. Mosher & Pastor Jared Longshore)
Mike Slater confronts the spiritual dimensions of global Christian persecution, drawing from Ephesians 6:12 to expose how unseen "principalities and powers" manifest in earthly systems of oppression, authoritarian control, extremist ideologies, and societal rejection.
