What if the greatest battlefield in our spiritual lives is right inside our own minds?
In Episode 13 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff focuses on the fifth piece of God's armor - the helmet of salvation. The enemy's attacks are not always dramatic or obvious. Often, the battle is a subtle and persistent war fought through the thoughts we choose to entertain. Fear, worry, unbelief, and discouragement can take root when wrong thoughts are allowed to dominate, but believers are called to take every thought captive and bring it into obedience to Christ.
Putting on the helmet of salvation means renewing our minds and choosing to think in agreement with God and His Word. This is not positive thinking or "mind over matter." The Christian life does not originate in the mind, but what God has already placed within our born-again spirit must come through a renewed mind as we agree with Him.
Discover how mind renewal transforms our lives as we put off the old way of thinking and put on the new man in Christ. By setting our minds on things above, rejecting renegade thoughts, and meditating on God's truth, we can experience the life and peace that come from being spiritually minded and stand victorious in the battle.

Do you believe that it's God's will to heal? Our experiences, disappointments, traditions, or someone else's lack of healing cannot determine our answer. God's Word must establish His will.
Where do we place our confidence? Are we building our confidence based on our accomplishments? When we compare ourselves to others by race, title, background, education, or success, we are placing confidence in ourselves instead of Christ.
Faithfulness is the key to increase in life and ministry. Greater opportunities and influence begin with being faithful in the little things God has already entrusted to us.
Are you pursuing greatness on God's terms or on the world's terms? The world teaches us to climb higher, promote ourselves, gain influence, and push past others to succeed. However, Philippians 2 reveals a radically different path.
What does it look like to have genuine, unshakeable joy when life is falling apart around us? Joy is not a prize waiting at the finish line of our struggles or reserved for moments when things go as we hoped. Scripture reveals that supernatural joy can remain even in the middle of suffering, uncertainty, and chaos beyond our control.
