So this podcast is a podcast that is focused on spiritual

warfare. And we're going to talk about spiritual warfare from a biblical worldview. We do believe

in the supernatural. We believe it to be real. But we believe that the supernatural things that are happening around us come from

Scripture. Angels and demons are, if some of you prefer fallen angels or whatever label you

want to put on those that went with Lucifer. Lucifer, a created angel by God, who then rebelled against God.

We'll talk about that a little bit today. And Scripture seems to indicate that a large,

not a large portion, but a third of the angels went with him, leaving two-thirds, of course,

still loyal to God. So these battles go on around the scripture tells us they do.

There's also some things that we need to look out for.
