This is the first of two talks on Spiritual Warfare given by Fr. Barnabas Powell in October of 2021. The Liturgical life of the Orthodox Church forms our inner lives enabling us to be spiritual soldiers in Christ’s army. 

Fr. Barnabas brings a fresh perspective on the timeless teachings of traditional Christianity. Fr. Barnabas Powell was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. His journey to Orthodoxy came as a result of many years of searching for a “lifestyle” that would be truly Christian. After years in Evangelical Protestant ministry and serving in Christian media, both radio and television, he launched Faith Encouraged Ministries to use what he learned in sharing faith through media for the Orthodox Faith. Fr. Barnabas is an author, pastor, podcaster, and teacher committed to offering a credible witness of the timeless Orthodox faith for this culture. His daily devotional - Faith Encouraged Daily - reaches over 5000 people a week. His weekly homilies - Faith Encouraged - have been watched over 150,000 times on YouTube. And his twice a month live call-in show - Faith Encouraged LIVE - is one of the most popular shows on Ancient Faith Radio.
