Summary

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with theologian and author Joel Muddamalle for a conversation that feels both ancient and urgently relevant. Drawing from Joel’s new book The Unseen Battle, they explore spiritual warfare not as something sensational or fear-driven, but as a daily, lived reality shaped by attention, truth, imagination, and small choices. From why Eve didn’t panic when the serpent spoke, to how modern distractions quietly gain a foothold in our lives, to why standing firm matters more than fighting harder, this episode invites listeners to see Scripture in full color and to recover a grounded, hopeful confidence. It’s thoughtful, accessible theology for parents, skeptics, and anyone who senses there’s more happening beneath the surface of ordinary life. 🔗 Get your copy of Joel’s book, The Unseen Battle 🔗 Check out Stranger Theology: https://www.strangertheology.com Learn more about your ad choices.
