Our first guest today is author, Eric Barger. He tells us more about his book, Disarming the Powers of Darkness: Fearless Conquerors in Spiritual War.
Our second hour guest is David Bowden, author, preacher and spoken word poet. He discusses his book, When God Isn’t There: Why God Is Farther than You Think but Closer than You Dare Imagine.
Disarming the Powers of Darkness answers critical battleground questions:
How can we tell what is of Satan and what is of our flesh?
How do we deal with spirits of fear and uncertainty?
Where exactly does spiritual warfare take place?
Does Satan know my thoughts and hear my prayers?
How can we be victorious in a culture that is increasingly dark?
During his last few years in college, and throughout his time at the non-profit, David was traveling and speaking at different conferences, churches and events. After two years working with goats, he amicably left the non-profit to work full time as a speaker and performer. Since then, David has been extremely fortunate to be able to speak in front of hundreds of thousands of people and have his online videos viewed over four million times.
David has now authored his first theology book with Thomas Nelson Publishers entitled "When God Isn't There." He also spends his time creating videos to share with the Church, and partnering with conferences, events and churches to create Gospel-centered messages. David serves as the Artist in Residence at Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City and is the co-founder of Kleer Series (www.kleerseries.com). He is currently getting his MDIV at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. David and his wife attend Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City where they have led a community group for the last four years.
David Bowden knows these questions firsthand, having wrestled for years with God’s apparent absence and studying what the Bible says about it. In this new book, Bowden tackles the subject head-on, finding the key to understanding it in the Bible’s depiction of a God who is infinitely far from us, free to move where he wants, but who chooses to come near in the person of Jesus.
A resource of encouragement for those who struggle with feeling God’s absence and a wake-up call to those who take God’s presence for granted, When God Isn’t There will forever change your understanding of why God sometimes seems to vanish and how he can be found again.
