RELOADED | 831: Spiritual Warfare Backfires Without Authority

In this episode, Tony sits down with Dr. Laura Sanger and Vicki Joy Anderson for a grounded and challenging conversation on spiritual warfare, authority, and preparation. They break down where a believer’s authority actually comes from, why Scripture never treats spiritual warfare as optional, and how misunderstanding time, identity, and lineage can leave people exposed. The discussion addresses generational iniquity, deliverance versus exorcism, and the danger of engaging spiritual conflict without proper preparation. Drawing from biblical examples, personal testimony, and practical theology, the conversation reframes warfare as participation in Christ’s already-won victory. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re prepared for the fight, or where authority in Christ begins, this episode will challenge you to engage in the fight.
