Mark and Amber Archer reached an incredible milestone—300 episodes! To honor this achievement, they invited Craig "Sawman" Sawyer, a retired Navy SEAL and founder of Veterans for Child Rescue (V4CR), to discuss a critical issue facing the church today: Spiritual Warfare.

As the discussion unfolded, Craig shared his insights on the alarming signs of dangerous pastors, emphasizing the importance of integrity and transparency in church leadership. According to Craig, many leaders today insulate themselves from their congregations, creating a culture where questioning and disagreement are not tolerated. This type of leadership can be damaging, leading to silence and complicity in wrongdoing.

The conversation also highlighted the increasing relevance of spiritual warfare in our lives. Craig emphasized that the battle against evil requires not only a tactical approach but also a deep spiritual foundation. Known for his outspoken advocacy against child trafficking, he underscored the necessity of faith and discernment in combating these societal issues.

Craig's experience with V4CR and his firsthand knowledge of the child trafficking epidemic serve as a wake-up call for believers. He urges church leaders to prioritize truth and compassion over fear of conflict or financial loss. By fostering an environment where congregants feel empowered to seek out spiritual truth, churches can create a thriving community dedicated to preventing harm and promoting healing.

This episode reminds us of the vital role each believer plays in spiritual warfare. As the church navigates complex challenges, it is crucial to remain vigilant, discerning, and grounded in faith. As Craig Sawyer eloquently states, “We are all called to expose evil and protect the innocent.”

Together, we can bring about a transformation within the church and society at large. Listen to the full episode for an in-depth exploration of these pressing issues, and join us in the fight against darkness.
