As a proud U.S. Army veteran, I’m launching this series to honor my fellow veterans while equipping believers to fight the good fight of faith. We’ve served in man’s army with discipline, courage, and strength — but now we serve in God’s army, where the mission is eternal, and the battlefield is spiritual.
In this first episode, “Know Your Enemy,” Pastor Liza Gustave shares how to recognize and overcome the enemy’s tactics using lessons from military strategy and biblical truth.
You’ll learn:
How to identify spiritual infiltration and deception
Why knowing the Word is your best defense
How to test the spirit and recognize the enemy’s disguises
How to stand firm and fight with discernment, faith, and prayer
This isn’t just another teaching — it’s Kingdom military training for the soul. Whether you’re a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces or a veteran of faith, this message will sharpen your awareness and reignite your spiritual discipline.
