Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth team are joined by Buddy Owens for a conversation on spiritual warfare. Buddy talks through what spiritual warfare means, what the Bible says about it, and how we are called to participate in it.

Buddy looks at the power of prayer as a strategy for spiritual warfare and provides some resource suggestions for people who want to learn more.

Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth team are joined by Saddleback Celebrate Recovery’s Meaghan Grider to talk about everyone’s favorite topic: confession. Many people are raised to believe in the rigid responsibility of confession, or approach the idea with a lot of fear and trepidation. Meaghan breaks down why confession is one of the most powerful spiritual practices and one that can lead to a life of joy and fullness. The conversation looks at what the Bible says about confession, how confession is a relational exercise between us and God and us and others, and the importance of finding the right people to have a confession relationship with. The episode ends with an explanation of Celebrate Recovery and the importance of remembering your true identity.

Join Linda Tokar and Rob Jacobs from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team as they unpack a new way of thinking about spiritual development: the JESUS Stages. Listen as they describe what these stages are, where the idea comes from, and what it
means to identify yourself within these stages. Each of the JESUS stages looks at
key personal, spiritual elements like your Spiritual Age, who you need when you’re in that stage, what identity questions you are likely wrestling with, what attachments
look like to you, and much more. Linda and Rob also discuss the idea of The Wall,
an area within the JESUS Stages where one faces and works through unresolved emotional pain.
