When people hear the words “spiritual warfare ministry,” a lot of different images and assumptions come to mind. Spiritual warfare is not always widely understood. This class introduces the biblical foundations and categories of the Deeper Walk approach to spiritual warfare — looking at Scripture, the role of Christians and demons, apologetics for warfare ministry, and guidelines for maintaining biblical balance.
Whereas much of our teaching in other courses focuses on the “how-tos” of spiritual warfare, this course looks more closely at the foundations and questions that surround this type of ministry.
The essential categories of spiritual warfare ministry and how they form a coherent framework for engaging the spiritual battles every believer faces.
The role of experience in developing systematic theology — how observed ministry realities shape and inform our theological understanding of spiritual warfare.
The essential Scriptures that guide our understanding of the relationship between Christians and demons, examined carefully in their biblical context.
The essential elements of a kingdom worldview and how they directly inform and shape an effective, balanced approach to spiritual warfare ministry.
Most spiritual warfare teaching swings between two extremes — either dismissing spiritual realities altogether or sensationalizing them beyond biblical warrant. This course charts a different path.
The Deeper Walk approach is grounded in careful biblical exegesis, informed by decades of frontline ministry experience, and designed to produce practitioners who are both theologically sound and practically equipped.
"I have exponentially grown closer to God. I have discovered a biblical language that helps me discern my own inner life and ask good questions that help others discern their inner life."
Each session combines solid theological instruction with guided discussion and practical application — delivered live so you can engage, ask questions, and learn alongside a community.
Dr. Marcus Warner guides you through the key passages and theological categories that form the Deeper Walk approach to spiritual warfare, building your understanding session by session.
Live online sessions create space to ask questions, wrestle with difficult passages, and learn from the experiences of classmates — sharpening your thinking in real time.
You’ll leave with a clear, coherent framework for approaching spiritual warfare in your ministry context — grounded in Scripture and ready to apply.
Essentials of Spiritual Warfare has no prerequisites — it’s designed to be accessible whether you’re brand new to ministry or building on existing training.
Not included in tuition — purchased separately by the student.
