Spiritual Gifts & Battle Course
14th April - 18th April 2025
We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies… the choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender.” (John Mark Comer - ‘Live No Lies’).
The bible makes it clear - the battle is real and the weapons we’ve been given to fight with are spiritual, and they come in the form of Spiritual Gifts, we ignore these at our peril. We’re stoked to have Fraser and Dale take us through what it means to engage in Spiritual Battle and to function in Spiritual Gifts.
Five Day Course
We offer Spiritual Gifts & Battle as both an in-person and online course. There are limited spaces available so book now.
