Hosted by Dr. Andrew Farley, this series has embarked on a journey to shed light on the shadows of darkness during these trying times. Today, we confront the ultimate figure of destruction, Satan.

He resists God's kingdom, aiming to drag down as many souls as possible into eternal suffering. His tactics are diverse, sometimes overt and horrifying, and at other times subtle, concealed behind seemingly good intentions. Just as the serpent's deceitful words led Eve astray in the garden, Satan's temptations often take on an appealing guise, challenging believers to see beyond the surface and discern the essence of things.

    War: Man vs. Man

    In this enlightening episode, our host Dr. Andrew Farley delves into the heart of human conflict, emphasizing the significance of breaking the cycle of animosity through love and forgiveness. When conflict becomes an "us vs. them" battle, it often leads to a zero-sum game where everyone loses. Dr. Farley presents this insight with clarity, highlighting the harmful consequences of such a mindset. By drawing parallels from some of the most violent biblical stories, he underscores the importance of dealing with conflicts in a healthy, Christ-like manner. As he eloquently puts it, peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God's love and justice amidst the turmoil.

    Throughout this episode, Dr. Farley emphasizes the importance of finding a middle ground in conflicts, just as figures like David did. David, a man perpetually in the midst of conflict, displayed Christ-like characteristics by offering mercy and compassion even when pursued by enemies, including Saul and his own son, Absalom. Jesus' teachings further underpin the significance of love and mercy, as Dr. Farley draws from the Sermon on the Mount. Ultimately, the pursuit of peace, according to Dr. Farley, is an active endeavor, where we fight for love and mercy rather than hatred and revenge. The episode leaves listeners with a profound message - peace is a conscious choice and a reflection of Christ's attributes, even in the face of adversity.
