Summary
Jamie Walden joins Tony for a sobering conversation about the spiritual battle confronting the modern Church and why many believers are unprepared for what is unfolding. Drawing from Scripture and his own ministry experience, Jamie explains how the great deception will not come through obvious evil, but through ideas that appear spiritual, enlightened, and even Christian on the surface. They examine the growing occult influence in culture, how ancient practices are being repackaged for a new generation, and why many churches have lost the ability to recognize it. Jamie argues that discernment, biblical literacy, and spiritual courage are essential if believers are going to withstand what is coming. This episode is a direct challenge to the Church to wake up, recognize the deception, and return to a faith that is grounded firmly in Christ.
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
