19. How Does Spiritual Warfare Actually Work?

In this episode of the Archway Bible Podcast, we journey to first-century Ephesus, a city dominated by the cult of Artemis and steeped in magic, ritual, and religious devotion. Drawing on the scholarship of Clinton Arnold, we explore how the ancient cultural and cultic backdrop illuminates Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and his teaching on the powers. We also see that spiritual warfare isn’t limited to dramatic encounters but is a battle waged across every area of the Christian life, including the everyday realms of marriage, family, and work.
