    How to Get FREE From the Enemy's Lies

    Welcome back to The SMC Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the spiritual reality of our adversary, the devil: how he operates as a thief and an accuser, how his deception can lead to strongholds in our lives, and how we can break free from his lies through the power and the blood of Jesus Christ. Key Takeaways: Believers are born into a spiritual conflict: When we become sons of God through faith in Christ, we enter the angelic conflict, a war against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6∶12).Not every thought is yours: The mind is a battlefield, with thoughts coming from the Holy Spirit, your own conscience, or the demonic realm, and you must bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10∶4-5).The enemy relies on deception and accusation: Satan operates through deception to ensnare people and acts as the accuser of the brethren, working to oppose God's plan and pull believers back into bondage.Stay sober-minded and vigilant: Believers must remain alert and on guard against the adversary, who prowls like a roaring lion, standing firm in the freedom Christ has provided.Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: You Have an Adversary2:05 Born Into a War: Ephesians 6∶12 & the Battlefield of the Mind7:02 The Accuser of the Brethren & Our Defense Attorney9:04 Prowling Like a Lion: A Real-Life Lion Attack Story11:47 The Thief, Two Kingdoms & Standing Fast in Freedom16:26 There Is No Lack: Breaking the Scarcity Mindset🔔 Follow the SMC Podcast for more episodes on spiritual warfare, leadership, and walking in the fullness of your calling. 🎯 Get information on upcoming training events 🔥 Join The Forge, our free online community --- Resources SMC: https://smctribe.com Men's Online Community (The Forge): https://smc-tribe.mn.co/plans/1900584 --- Henry and Amanda Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HenryAmandaPodcast --- Henry and Amanda: https://www.henryandamanda.com/ Justice Reigns: https://justicereigns.org --- Henry on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@henryhastingssmc Henry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henry_hastings/ Henry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HenrywHastings Henry & Amanda Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henryamandapodcast/ Justice Reigns on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justicere...

    UnRedacted: Why Knowing the Bible Isn't Enough Without the Spirit's Power

    What if the Christianity you were handed left something out? Not because someone removed pages from your Bible, but because there may be things sitting right there in Scripture that you were taught not to expect, pursue, or experience. In this episode of the SMC Podcast, Amanda joins Henry in the SMC bunker for a deeply personal conversation about Henry’s journey from seminary-trained pastor and committed cessationist to confronting a question that changed the trajectory of his life: Am I allowing Scripture to determine my theology, or am I allowing my theology to determine what Scripture is permitted to say? Henry shares openly about a season of bondage when biblical knowledge, discipline, willpower, and trying harder weren’t producing freedom. That struggle forced him to go back to Scripture and reconsider what he believed about the Holy Spirit, and eventually opened the door to a much bigger conversation about: • Identity in Christ • The authority of the believer • Spiritual warfare • Deliverance and freedom • Hearing God • The baptism of the Holy Spirit • Spiritual gifts • Biblical discernment • What it means for a man to spiritually lead and protect his family This isn’t about becoming charismatic, changing denominations, or blindly accepting someone else’s theology. It’s about having the courage to open your Bible and ask: Holy Spirit, is there more? Is there more freedom than I’ve experienced? Is there authority I’ve never understood? Is there a spiritual battle I’ve been trying to fight entirely in the natural? Have I explained away things in Scripture because they didn’t fit what I was taught? For men who want to become the Priests, Protectors, and Providers God has called them to be, these aren't merely theological questions. They affect how we lead our families, confront bondage, recognize the enemy, pray, fight spiritual battles, and walk in freedom. Henry's new book, UnRedacted: Awakening to the Life God Actually Intended, grew out of this journey. Get your copy of UnRedacted TODAY on our website: https://www.henryandamanda.com/unredactedbook UnRedacted is also available to purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HD5ZQ989/ If this conversation challenges you, don't simply take Henry's word for it. Open your Bible. Look at the Scriptures. Test everything. And ask God: “Is there more?” ▶️ Subscribe to the SMC Podcast for conversations on biblical masculinity, spiritual warfare, freedom, identity, leadership, and becoming the man God created you to be. 🎯 Get information on upcoming training events 🔥 Join The Forge, our free online community --- Resources SMC: https://smctribe.com Men's Online Community (The Forge): https://smc-tribe.mn.co/plans/1900584 --- Henry and Amanda Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HenryAmandaPodcast --- Henry and Amanda: https://www.henryandamanda.com/ Justice Reigns: https://justicereigns.org --- Henry on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@henryhastingssmc Henry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henry_hastings/ Henry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HenrywHastings Henry & Amanda Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henryamandapodcast/ Justice Reigns on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justicere...
