Spiritual Warfare & Mobilization with Dick Brogden

/

On this episode of the Missionary Mobilization Podcast, Dave has a conversation with Dick Brogden. Brogden has been an Assemblies of God World Missionary since 1992, and is the co-founder of the Live Dead Movement. He is the author of the recent book, Missionary God, Missionary Bible: A One-Year, Missions-Centered, Chronological Reading of the Bible.

Dave and Dick discuss how spiritual warfare impacts mobilization and the challenges that the enemy uses to hinder those who are called to serve overseas. This episode is a reminder that mobilizers, missionaries, and students will face spiritual adversities when fulfilling the Great Commission, but that there are boundless eternal rewards that will be received.

Here are some of the questions discussed:

1. How would you define spiritual warfare and can you give us an example of it occurring in your work?

2. One aspect of spiritual warfare is our battle with sin. In a recent blog post you wrote, "A primary theater of spiritual warfare is in our heads and thoughts." Can you elaborate on that?

3.  We know there are fewer single men missionaries than single women missionaries. In your opinion, why is this and what’s the spiritual warfare component here?

4. What is the role of suffering in spiritual warfare?

5. How does prayer, Bible reading, and worship assist us as we deal with spiritual warfare?

6. What other tools might we use to combat the plans of the enemy?

7. The enemy battles against us sending more missionaries. What advice would you have to encourage those in a spiritual battle right now as they work to mobilize others?
