Learning goal
By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- distinguish spiritual opposition from fear, hardship, confusion, temptation, or ordinary struggle
- understand that warfare follows discernment rather than replacing it
- practice calm authority rather than dramatic escalation
This Week’s Deep-Dive Practice
Pay special attention to Discernment and Warfare. Ask what, if anything, confirms spiritual opposition. Add a Warfare card only if discernment makes spiritual opposition clear; otherwise leave that section blank.
