Trespasses

Born Into War

Podcast Description What if your greatest battle isn't happening around you—but inside you? In this powerful episode, Ed Fernandez takes a deep dive into 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, unpacking what it truly means to fight a spiritual battle. Through a careful study of Scripture, he explores why every person is born into a spiritual war, how the enemy seeks to capture believers through deception, fear, bitterness, addiction, and sin, and why the battlefield is ultimately the mind. Drawing connections between Revelation 12, Matthew 6, John 8, Luke 4, Zechariah 9, and Galatians 5, Ed paints a vivid picture of humanity as soldiers who must choose which kingdom they will serve. He explains the difference between remaining on the battlefield through obedience to Christ and becoming a spiritual prisoner of war, trapped by lies that keep us from fulfilling God's purpose for our lives. If you've struggled with negative thought patterns, spiritual discouragement, unforgiveness, or feeling stuck in cycles you can't seem to break, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical insight into how Jesus sets captives free and equips believers to walk in victory. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why every believer is born into a spiritual battle. • What it means to become a spiritual prisoner of war. • How the enemy wages war through thoughts and belief systems. • Why obedience is essential to spiritual freedom. • How Scripture teaches us to take every thought captive. • The hope found in Christ's power to rescue, restore, and send us back into the fight. The battle is real—but so is the victory that belongs to those who walk in obedience to Christ. Whether you're a new believer or have walked with the Lord for years, this episode will challenge you to examine where the battle is being fought and remind you that through Jesus, freedom is always possible. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Lies That Keep You Small

In this episode, Ed explores one of the most overlooked moments in Scripture—the spies who saw themselves as "grasshoppers" in the presence of giants. Their greatest enemy wasn't the giants standing before them; it was the fear and false identity growing within them. Building on the biblical themes of Genesis 6 and Numbers 13, Ed examines how intimidation, trauma, and generational patterns can shape the way we see ourselves, keeping us from walking into God's promises. He explains how strongholds are formed through lies, why the enemy targets our identity, and how spiritual warfare begins in the mind long before it manifests in our circumstances. You'll also hear practical biblical teaching on overcoming inherited thought patterns, breaking agreement with fear, standing on the finished work of Christ, and using God's Word to tear down strongholds. If you've ever felt unqualified, trapped by your past, or intimidated by the size of the obstacles in front of you, this conversation is a reminder that God has not called you to live like a grasshopper. He has called you to possess the land He has promised. Your past does not determine your future. Your trauma does not define your identity. The battle begins with believing who God says you are. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Prosperity Is Biblical

Money is one of the most controversial topics in the Church—and one of the most talked-about topics in Scripture. In this passionate and unscripted episode, Ed challenges common religious mindsets surrounding wealth, prosperity, and the role believers should play in the marketplace.

This conversation goes beyond dollars and cents, diving into what biblical prosperity really looks like: strong families, healthy relationships, purpose, stewardship, impact, and generational blessing. If you've ever wrestled with questions like: • Does God want Christians to be wealthy? • Is prosperity biblical? • What does it mean to trust God instead of money? • How can believers influence the marketplace and culture? Then this episode will challenge you to rethink what you've been taught and encourage you to step into the purpose God has for your life. This isn't a message about chasing riches—it's a message about breaking poverty mindsets, embracing stewardship, and becoming an influence for the Kingdom in a world that desperately needs truth.

The Tools

What tools has God given us to overcome spiritual battles, break destructive patterns, and fulfill our purpose on earth? In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed explores one of the most important weapons available to every believer: the renewed mind. Drawing from Scripture, he explains how unresolved issues such as fear, bitterness, anger, shame, and unrepentant sin can become footholds for spiritual attacks, creating strongholds that keep us trapped in old ways of thinking. But God has not left us defenseless. Through passages from Ephesians, Romans, Psalms, Corinthians, Isaiah, Joshua, and more, Ed reveals how the Word of God dismantles the lies we've believed about ourselves and replaces them with God's truth. When we learn to take our thoughts captive, reject the enemy's accusations, and embrace our identity in Christ, our minds are transformed and our lives begin to change. Discover how strongholds can either be fortresses for the enemy or places of refuge in God, why renewing your mind is essential to spiritual growth, and how understanding what God says about you can unlock freedom, confidence, peace, and purpose. If you've ever struggled with negative thought patterns, feelings of inadequacy, fear about the future, or questions about your identity, this episode will encourage you to stand on God's promises and walk in the calling He has placed on your life. Your breakthrough may begin with a single truth: believing what God says about you instead of what the world—or your past—has told you.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
