Spiritual Warfare is the July/August 2025 issue of Christian Standard, bringing together biblical teaching, ministry insight, and practical guidance on facing the unseen battle against evil. Framed around the theme of spiritual warfare, this issue explores how Christians, church leaders, parents, counselors, and missionaries can understand Satan’s work and stand firm in Christ.
Major features examine the subject from several angles. Mark Scott opens with a biblical overview of Ephesians 6 and the armor of God, while Jack Cottrell addresses Satan’s ongoing work and the believer’s resources for resistance. Greg Pruett writes about prayer and spiritual conflict on the mission field, and Ricky Altmiller considers how social media shapes the minds of young people in today’s digital environment. Tim Harlow’s interview on deliverance adds a personal testimony of rescue from darkness, and Doug Spears offers a Christian counselor’s perspective on spiritual warfare and mental health.
Alongside the theme articles, the issue includes content on elders, church finances, preaching, parenting adult children, missions, and public questions around D.E.I. Together, these pieces show how spiritual warfare touches doctrine, discipleship, ministry leadership, family life, evangelism, and cultural engagement.
For readers seeking a thoughtful Christian Standard issue on spiritual warfare, this edition offers a strong blend of theology, pastoral care, and practical ministry application rooted in Scripture and shaped by real ministry experience.
