Spiritual Warfare: Praying in the Spirit | Series Finale

What do you do after you’ve put on the armor of God? You pray.

Throughout our Spiritual Warfare series, we’ve walked through the armor described in Ephesians 6: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. But Paul’s teaching doesn’t stop when he names the armor. In Ephesians 6:18, he urges believers to pray in the Spirit on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests, and to stay alert as they pray for one another.

In this final episode, Bud Shropshire and Brandon Butler talk about why prayer belongs in every part of the believer’s walk. What does it mean to pray in the Spirit? Do you need special words, or can you come to God honestly when you’re exhausted and don’t know what to say? How do you remain watchful without becoming consumed by fear? And why is praying for other believers part of standing firm?

Spiritual warfare isn’t something we face by relying on our own strength. We need God’s help when temptation comes, when fear rises, when someone we love is struggling, and when the battle seems to go on longer than we expected. Prayer keeps us turning to Him in those moments. It reminds us that we are never called to stand alone.

Join Bud and Brandon as they close the series with an honest, practical conversation about making prayer part of everyday life—not just a last resort when things fall apart. Wherever you are in your walk with Christ, we hope this episode encourages you to stay alert, pray for others, and keep trusting God as you stand firm.
