    Sleep Paralysis, Ghosts, & UFOs, Oh My! | S4E42

    Could the monster in the closet be real? How can we help children who see scary things? How does our worldview inform what we believe is possible? Today we’re continuing our prequel discussion of spiritual warfare before launching our next book study. Last episode we addressed the reality of so many Christians who think spiritual warfare is not something to concern everyday believers. And it’s understandable. For many people, normal life doesn’t seem to be infested with demons. And honestly, others find it easy to see a demon or nephilim behind every rock. So we’re trying to help contextualize what we mean by “spiritual warfare.” In this On the Trail episode, we get into some niche topics like sleep paralyis, haunted houses, and UFOs. We're also talking about how to help children when they experience spiritual warfare and looking broadly at the impact of worldview on how we interact with life and spiritual realities. Next week we start a new book study: What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare. You don't need an advanced degree in spiritual warfare. But just like knowing that washing your hands helps against germs or how to put on a bandaid, there's some spiritual first aid every Christian should understand.   📸 Follow OTT on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onthetrail_podcast 📕 NEXT BOOK STUDY: https://deeperwalk.com/product/what-every-believer-should-know-about-spiritual-warfare-2nd-edition-book/ ⚔️ BATTLE READY CONFERENCE: https://deeperwalk.com/product/battle-ready-spiritual-warfare-conference-2026/ ⚔️ FREEDOM COURSE: https://deeperwalk.com/sp/freedom-course/ 👑 HEART-FOCUSED COMMUNITY COURSE: https://deeperwalk.com/heart-focused-discipleship/#heart 💝 DONATE: https://deeperwalk.com/donate/ 🎓 SCHOOL OF MINISTRY: https://deeperwalk.com/school 🙏 PRAYER MINISTRY REFERRALS: https://deeperwalk.com/ministry-referrals/   GO DEEPER: 🎧 Biblical Foundations of Spiritual Warfare Series: S4E10 (What's Happening in God's Throne Room?): Deeperwalk10: What's Happening in God's Throne Room? - Deeper Walk International   Thank you for joining us – father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner – on the trail to a deeper walk with God!    Chapters - 00:00 Welcome & Recap 1:14 Sleep Paralysis Demons 5:27 Maybe the Monster in the Closet Is Real 11:10 Equipping Your Child Appropriately 13:55 The Impact of Worldview 23:15 Haunted Houses 24:31 Are UFOs & Aliens Demons? 25:15 A Normal Life with an Advantage

    Is Spiritual Warfare Optional? | S4E41

    Is spiritual warfare an elective for advanced Christians? Maybe you hear "spiritual warfare" and think "paranormal activity." Maybe you've been a Christian for a long time and haven’t had to deal with spiritual warfare. How important is it really? Many Christians feel like they see no evidence of spiritual warfare around them. They might undersand that cosmic realities exist and intercessory prayer can work, but otherwise, Christians who believe in spiritual warfare are just cooky or overly mystic. How does a person's life actually change at all by knowing about spiritual warfare? In this On the Trail episode, we look at this question: Is Spiritual Warfare Optional? This episode starts a two-part intro to our next book study: What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare. You don't need an advanced degree in spiritual warfare. But just like knowing that washing your hands helps against germs or how to put on a bandaid, there is some spiritual first aid every Christian should understand.   Thank you for joining us – father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner – on the trail to a deeper walk with God!  📸 Follow OTT on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onthetrail_podcast 📕 NEXT BOOK STUDY: What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare: https://deeperwalk.com/product/what-every-believer-should-know-about-spiritual-warfare-2nd-edition-book/ ⚔️ FREEDOM COURSE: https://deeperwalk.com/sp/freedom-course/ 👑 HEART-FOCUSED COMMUNITY COURSE: https://deeperwalk.com/heart-focused-discipleship/#heart 💝 PAY IT FORWARD: https://deeperwalk.com/donate/ 🎓 SCHOOL OF MINISTRY: https://deeperwalk.com/school 🙏 PRAYER MINISTRY REFERRALS: https://deeperwalk.com/ministry-referrals/   GO DEEPER: 🎧 Biblical Foundations of Spiritual Warfare Series: S4E10 (What's Happening in God's Throne Room?): https://deeperwalk.com/podcast/10-whats-happening-in-gods-throne-room/   Stay On the Trail toward a Deeper Walk with God with father-daughter duo Marcus Warner & Stephanie Warner.

    Connecting With God (Building Bounce: Ch 8) | S4E40

    "Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship." What does this adage actually mean? John 15 gives a picture of this when Jesus describes our relationship to Him as branches attached to a vine. Relationships are attachments. Christianity is about forming an attachment with Jesus Christ, then spending the rest of our lives walking deeper with Him. And if we want to be relationally engaged with God, it makes sense that we'd want to know and cooperate with how He designed us to function relationally. In this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Eight: Connecting with God, where we talk about our faith being in God not the process, listening prayer, discernment, and lifestyle. We also unpack the V.C.R. tool (Validate, Comfort, Recover). This episode wraps up our Building Bounce book study. Next week we're asking the question, "Is Spiritual Warfare optional?" with a two-part prequel series before launching our next book study: What Every Believer Should Know About Spiritual Warfare!

    Connecting With People (Building Bounce: Ch 7) | S4E39

    Does it ever look "awfully peopley out there"? Community is one of the great gifts of being human, but it comes with its share of hurt and problems... Belonging is a transformation agent crucial for cultivating emotional resilience. In this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Seven: Connecting with People, where we talk about relationships in the Bible, vulnerabilty and authenticity and a continuum of trust, relational skills tools, and more.

    Beliefs (Building Bounce: Ch 6) | S4E38

    Did you know your brain has its own propaganda department? The left side of your brain can be thought of as your narrative engine. Part of its job is to explain life. Our beliefs can have a profound impact on our bodies, our emotions, and our behavior. It is no wonder that the Bible has so much to say about meditating on God’s Word, renewing the mind, repenting, thinking about what is true, practicing gratitude, studying, and guarding what our minds think and believe. In this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Six: Beliefs, where we talk about the art of propaganda and the battle for our minds, processing how to resist the devil, replace thoughts, and rhyme our thoughts with God's.

    Appreciation (Building Bounce: Ch 5) | S4E37

    Learning how to let yourself enter into the feeling of appreciation for five minutes or more helps your body relax and your mind quiet. For Christians, appreciation goes beyond only a brain exercise. It's an act of connection with God.  With that in mind, in this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Five: Appreciation, where we unpack the joy-building tool G.A.M.E.S. for practicing appreciation, plus we dwell on the relational connection appreciation builds with God. G.A.M.E.S. stands for Gratitude (appreciation in the present), Anticipation (appreciation for the future), Memories (appreciation for the past), Experiences, and Singing.  Thank you for joining us – father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner – on the trail to a deeper walk with God!  🎁 FREE DISCUSSION GUIDE: https://deeperwalk.com/building-bounce/ Access through the button that says "Free Discussion Guide" in the top description block for the book.

    Quieting (Building Bounce: Ch 4) | S4E36

    The number one predictor of good emotional health is the ability to quiet. Quieting is about learning how to calm our bodies and minds once triggered and about learning how to practice being quiet without the regular need for distraction.  With that in mind, in this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Four: Quieting, where we unpack tools such as the acrostics B.E.S.T. for quieting your body and D.R.E.A.M. for quieting your mind, plus we discuss four triggers for anxiety, God's design for rhythms of rest, and more.  Thank you for joining us – father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner – on the trail to a deeper walk with God!    🎁 FREE DISCUSSION GUIDE: https://deeperwalk.com/building-bounce/ Access through the button that says "Free Discussion Guide" in the top description block for the book.

    A Basic Brain Model (Building Bounce: Ch 3) | S4E35

    Time to pop the hood and get a look at our wiring! What has brain science to do with emotional resilience?  God has designed our brains to run on the fuel of joy, and joy is what is crucial to resilience. So, understanding how God designed our brains to operate helps us understand what we should develop in order to be as resilient as possible.  With that in mind, in this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Three: A Basic Brain Model, where we unpack the Joy Elevator and the Narrative Engine to get context and clarity as we press deeper into developing emotional capacity.  Thank you for joining us – father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner – on the trail to a deeper walk with God!  🎁 FREE DISCUSSION GUIDE: https://deeperwalk.com/building-bounce/ Access through the button that says "Free Discussion Guide" in the top description block for the book.
