    #169 Don't Drop Your Guard: The Battle You Can’t Afford to Ignore with Doug Barry

    Send us Fan Mail The spiritual battle isn’t always dramatic. More often, it happens through the small choices we make every day. In this episode, Doug Barry explains how seemingly insignificant compromises—neglecting prayer, losing discipline, or simply letting our guard down—can gradually pull us away from God.  Drawing from his experience and his book First Line of Defense, Doug challenges us to stay spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically battle-ready. You’ll learn why vigilance doesn’t mean living in fear, how our interior spiritual battles affect our lives and relationships, and how daily discipline can prepare us to hear God’s voice and respond when He calls.
