Episode 128: Spiritual Gatekeeper: Are You Guarding What You Allow Into Your Home?

<p>Lately, God has been opening my eyes to spiritual warfare and our authority in Christ in a way I haven’t experienced before.</p><p>It actually started while I was reading <em>The Witch and the Lamb</em>. There is a much bigger conversation around spiritual warfare that I think we need to have, and we WILL, but I’m still learning, praying and digging into Scripture before I go there.</p><p>But it did leave me thinking about something I couldn’t shake:</p><p><strong>What am I allowing through the gates of my life and my home?</strong></p><p>As women, we have incredible spiritual influence within our homes. That doesn’t mean controlling our husbands or teenagers, and it certainly doesn’t mean the spiritual health of our entire family rests on our shoulders.
