Mapping Darkness and Light: Discernment, Love, and the Spiritual Battle

In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive into the ongoing spiritual battle between darkness and light. Using stories from Scripture, personal experiences, and even a 1974 NFL game, they highlight the critical importance of discernment—knowing the enemy's tactics and understanding where you are on the map of the Larger Story.

They explore how love, kindness, and forgiveness aren't passive virtues—they're powerful weapons in spiritual warfare. Whether it's learning to resist the devil, naming deceptive thoughts, or walking in mercy toward others, this conversation offers wisdom and tools for fighting well and living free.

Michael and SJ remind us that we were never meant to walk this path alone. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the support of community, and the clarity that comes from spiritual training, we can navigate this battle with courage and hope.

We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!
