Chadd shares his firsthand experience with demonic oppression and explains why fearing the devil too much might be just as dangerous as pretending he doesn’t exist. The guys dive into Ephesians 6, what it means to fight the flesh, and why your body, mind, and soul are all battlegrounds in the war between two kingdoms. In this episode: 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 19-23; Jude 1, verse 9; Hebrews 2, verse 14; Ephesians 2, verses 1-3; Ephesians 4, verses 22-27; Ephesians 5, verses 1-5 “Unashamed” Episode 1089 is sponsored by: https://mybrightcore.com/unashamed — Kimchi One from Brightcore – Improve your health, improve your life.

I thought about this passage in 1 Thessalonians 5. I mean, this is right after he's like, describes this, you know, Jesus coming back, dead bodies coming out of the ground. And then it's like, well, when is this all going to happen? And he's just like, well, don't be surprised when it does. He didn't really answer the question. He's like, nobody knows.
And then he's like, we're, you know, children of the light, live in the light. And then he gets to the end and he says, do not put out the spirit's fire. This is verse... 20, test everything, hold on to the good, avoid every kind of evil. And then he makes this statement in 23. This is 1 Thessalonians 5. May God himself, the God of peace, set you apart or sanctify you through and through.
May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. I think that's pretty powerful.

Chapter 3: What does Ephesians 6 teach us about our battles?
Guys, summer is almost here. And if you got kids at home or like me, you got grandkids to come and spend time with you at your southern layer. You're always trying to find things for them to do. And, you know, whether it's activities or even things to do inside your home, a lot of times we read our grandkids books.
Which is why we love Brave Books, because they help parents raise strong families by teaching biblical values through powerful, faith-filled stories. And Jace, you know something about Brave Books, do you not? I do, Al. I do.
My wife helped write this because you're my family. And I will say, Al, I'm also a dad and a granddad. And one of my favorite lines, to be honest, when I was busy, I would tell my kids, go read some books. And they actually have a set of 10 in this little feature here. Look, you can just go read some books. These are good. Yeah. Lots of books.
I love it, Jace. It's a one-man Brave skit. Each month, Brave sends out a new book that teaches lessons like courage, forgiveness, standing firm in your faith. Jace mentioned Missy's book, Because You're My Family, Jep and Jessica. Also in our family, they released Dear Valor, which is a great story about adoption and what it means to be chosen.
So when you subscribe, you not only get a new book each month, you'll also get access to Brave Plus.

I heard somewhere you brought up something interesting, so it's hard for me to do this off the top of my head. But I was listening to a sermon a year or two ago. When he says that verse you just got through saying in Matthew 16, where he says, who do people say the Son of Man is? They replied, some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, Jeremiah. Jesus says, verse 15, what about you?
Who do you say I am? Peter answered, you're the Christ, son of the living God. And he said, blessed are you, Simon, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by the Father in heaven. I tell you that you're on Peter. I mean, that you're Peter. And on this rock, I'll build my church. And the gates of Hades... It says, will not overcome it.
And the guy I was listening to preach looked at the Greek, and when he got into the Greek language here on this phrase, one of these prepositions that we put in here in the translation does not exist. And, of course, he started talking about it, and I was like, where is he going with this? But his point was, when you read it the way we translate it, we're acting like it's coming at us,

But it's not going to overcome it, you know. But when you actually take that preposition that we just put in the English language, trying to grab a hold of it, it actually should read the gates of Hades won't withstand it. And his point was, who's dishing out the power here? When you read it and insert that... And look, I'm not hating on the translators.
