In this episode, Ryan Swanson delivers a compelling installment of the Satisfied program, part of the _Mind War_series on the thought life.

Through candid storytelling and scriptural insight, Ryan challenges listeners to end the cycle by taking every thought captive—immediately.

• Why your temptations are often familiar
• Satan’s strategy: repetition over innovation
• Real-life account of facing temptation at a gas station

In this powerful continuation of his series on The Believer's Authority, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen shares how believers can experience real victory over Satan—not by personal strength, but by being fully submitted to Christ. Reflecting on the recent passing of his prayer-warrior mother-in-law, Dr. Van Gelderen weaves together personal testimony, scriptural truth, and vivid illustrations to show how spiritual authority flows from surrender. When you’re under Christ’s authority, you stand over the enemy—and he must flee.

• Remembering Janet Cross and her legacy of prayer and faith
• What it means to be “in Christ” and seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 1–2)
• Christ’s victory over Satan and the believer’s shared triumph
• James 4:7 and the conditions for resisting the devil
• Delegated authority illustrated with a traffic cop and a mother’s command
• Why praying “in Jesus’ name” is more than a phrase
• Resisting Satan’s influence in weather, illness, and other real-life situations
• Total surrender and total dependence as the foundation for authority

• Spiritual authority is not earned through strength, but accessed through submission.
• Christ’s victory over Satan is final, and believers share in that authority when yielded to Him.
• Praying “in Jesus’ name” means aligning with His will and authority, not just using a phrase.
• We must not be passive in the spiritual battle; resisting Satan is an active responsibility.
• Whether facing external circumstances or internal battles, the path to victory is the same: under authority, over the enemy.

In this very special episode, Bobby Bosler shares an exciting announcement and a deeply personal journey of faith. Speaking from Matthew 14, he draws parallels between Peter’s step out of the boat and the major life change God has led him and his family into — accepting the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. Bobby testifies to God's guidance through uncertainty, showing how surrender and obedience open the door for God's miraculous provision and peace.

• Stepping out in faith when God's leading feels impossible
• The story behind the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church
• How God uses closed doors and lack of peace to redirect our steps
• Wrestling with calling, gifting, and identity in ministry
• Encouragement to follow God's call even when it requires major life changes

• God's leading often requires taking a step into the impossible. Like Peter walking on water, faith demands stepping out based on God's command, not on visible certainty.
• Closed doors are part of God's guidance. The lack of peace about repairing or replacing the trailer was God's way of preparing the Bosler family for a completely new direction.
• Gifting doesn't limit God's calling. Even as an evangelist, Bobby discovered that God could use him to pastor and shepherd a local church, showing that God's calling often stretches us beyond our assumptions.
• Obedience leads to peace. When Bobby and his wife yielded to the possibility of pastoring, God flooded their hearts with undeniable peace and clarity.
• A big step of faith inspires others. Just like Peter's step inspired worship in the boat, your obedience can ripple out to encourage others to trust and follow Christ.
