Scripture calls us to be fearless and cheerful in facing down evil. It is our enemies who have reasons for fear. In this article, the author unpacks some of the practical, counseling implications of our warfare with the troika of world, flesh, and devil. We look closely at Ephesians 6, and then fill in Scripture’s teaching with detailed case studies.
