Where the Enemy Is Actually Attacking You

Most believers are bracing for an attack in the wrong places. We look out for obvious moral failures or massive life crises, completely missing the quiet, calculated infiltration happening in our own minds.  In this episode, Pastor Sam exposes the enemy’s ultimate psychological blindspot: the devil isn't trying to steal your power, he is trying to distort your view of God's character.  By breaking down the original deception in the Garden of Eden, we uncover how the enemy subtly tricks us into believing God is distant, angry, or holding back. When you accept a false picture of God, a "weak link" is created in your faith chain—causing it to snap the moment life gets hard.  Tune in to discover how to audit your spiritual vulnerabilities, shift from a defensive mindset to an offensive lifestyle of radical kingdom blessing, and reclaim the bulletproof peace that forces the enemy to retreat.
