    Why Community is Key to Breaking Spiritual Strongholds | The Well Podcast S7E08

    The road to abundance is paved with surrendered steps, not shortcuts.   How can Christian community help believers experience freedom from spiritual strongholds? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman acknowledge the realities of spiritual strongholds, subtle sins, and the enemy’s strategies to keep us from the abundant life. They explore how Satan uses seemingly “acceptable” sins—like gossip, gluttony, overspending, and pride—to keep believers from living triumphantly.   The conversation reflects on how hidden struggles, secrecy, and shame can create spiritual strongholds, and why confession, accountability, and community are essential for healing and restoration. Pastor Phil reveals the threefold bait of Satan: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.   Practical stories and honest reflections offer encouragement to anyone seeking hope and freedom. Be inspired to walk in obedience, pursue Christian community, and surrender your life to Jesus.   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ • Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ • Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc • Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/  More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/ Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/  Website: https://abundant-life.com/   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels/   Abundant Life exists to see lives changed by Jesus by being living proof of a loving God to a watching world.

    Are You Choosing Comfort Over God’s Promises? | The Well Podcast S7E04

    You end up where you’re going, not where you intended or promised to go. Living by faith and overcoming fear requires intentional decisions. Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman unpack how everyday choices shape your spiritual destination, moving you closer to or farther from God’s promises. Learn why faith is the currency of the kingdom of God, how doubt causes you to question God’s promises, and why the enemy doesn’t need to be creative if he can keep you stuck in fear. Discover the difference between living by fear and living by faith, and how people filled with faith see what God can do instead of how big the problems are.   📌 Episode Mentions:  Scripture: Numbers 13Book of Hebrews Bible Study: https://abundant-life.com/resources/series-studies/book-of-hebrews-study-guide/  📌Supplemental Resources:  This Week’s Sermon: https://youtube.com/live/F1KcsMTZYk0Exodus: From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=kyhzsrz7riJbb3xG  Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels  Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources  Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/   More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
