Day 3: The Three Forms of Resistance Every Christian Entrepreneur Faces

What You'll Discover:

Spiritual resistance isn't random—it's tactical. In Day 3 of Decoding Spiritual Warfare in Business, Jeff Elder exposes the three predictable forms of resistance every Kingdom entrepreneur faces: fear, confusion, and discouragement. These aren't character flaws or signs of failure. They're coordinated spiritual attacks on your identity in Christ.

Once you can name what you're facing, you stop internalizing it as personal failure and start recognizing it as evidence you're threatening enemy territory.

Topics Covered:

Why resistance feels personal but isn't

Fear as the opening attack (and why it masquerades as wisdom)

Confusion as spiritual obscurity (the multiplication of unclear options)

Discouragement as the heavy hitter (where fear + confusion become despair)

How these three attacks target your identity specifically

The difference between biblical surrender and spiritual defeat

Why strategy fails when your foundation is fractured

Key Scriptures:

2 Timothy 1:7 - Spirit of fear vs. power, love, and a sound mind

1 Corinthians 14:33 - God is not the author of confusion

Galatians 6:9 - The warning against weariness
