Cosmic wish fulfillment.

How is this Spiritual Warfare

Their goal: abandon your shield and your position in panic.

Your goal: to stand.

How do you Put it On (Shield 101)

You have to know stuff about God. Discover who he is.

In the midst of crisis, take up what is known to keep what is unknown in tension.

You have to rebuild your shield after battle.

There will always be arrows on the battlefield.

We Take Up Faith Together

When my friend drops his shield in panic, I can make space for him. I can hold my shield over him.
