What happens when you find yourself in the midst of the battle? What mindset do you have when you find yourself in a fight in life? How have you prepared for what you are facing? Throughout my life, I have heard my father, Dr. Tony Evans, say, “You’re either in a storm, on your way to a storm, or you just got out of one.” One part of living life well is learning how to fight your battles. Another part is having the understanding that we, as followers of Christ, fight from a place of victory.

While going through the toughest parts of our lives, it can be easy to forget that we are not fighting alone. We can lose sight of the fact that God is fighting for us, with us, and through us, so victory is our portion. We can combat our clouded vision by studying God’s word and training for life’s battles with people who have been in the game longer than us.

As you know, I have amazing siblings. I have one sister, Priscilla Shirer, who has been on the podcast many times. I have a brother named Anthony, who has also been on the podcast. And, if you didn’t know, I have a baby brother, Jonathan, who is joining me on The Sister Circle Podcast! “Jon Jon” is the baby of the “Fab Four Evans Kids.” He is by far the funniest of us all. He is an awesome husband and father who serves faithfully in our local church but can bring the house down when he’s preaching on the road too. He has a way with words— an impeccable, uncanny ability to poetically weave together deep thought in a simple yet witty way.

Today, I sat down with this brother of mine and discussed his new book, Fighting Your Battles, Every Christian’s Playbook for Victory. We chatted about the struggles of life and what it looks like to fight from a place of victory. It was surreal to listen to my baby brother impart wisdom to me from his position as a man of God. I know that this book will equip you for fighting your battles well, encourage you to trust in the Lord, and empower you with the knowledge of the word of God. I know this book will be an amazing resource for your spiritual arsenal. Check out today’s episode and receive insight into how you can fight your battles well.
