The Devil's Hidden Strategy: Allen Parr Reveals How Christians Become Trapped
Description: Author and YouTuber Allen Parr is on a mission to help people think through the spiritual barriers that could be holding them back from a fruitful life. Parr's new book, "Breaking Through: How Ordinary Believers Experience Extraordinary Freedom" is all about finding freedom. He relies on his own experiences to help readers explore this essential topic.
"When I look at my life, there's a lot of challenges ... I refer to them as soul chains, but really that's probably a synonym for strongholds, things that hold Christians back from walking in their full potential," he said. "As Christians, we know we're saved, we know that we are forgiven, we know we're on our way to Heaven, and that's great." Parr said that the premise of the book is that Jesus died to forgive human beings for their sins, but also to offer up freedom so that people can live a "life of abundance."
"I wanted to write a book to help Christians understand how they can experience the freedom and the victorious life that Jesus promised us," he said. Parr also spoke about why some churches might not openly speak about matters pertaining to mental health or even spiritual warfare. "Maybe one of the reasons why a lot of churches don't want to deal with it is that they don't really know how to go about addressing a lot of these things," he said. "Because, as church leaders, we're trained in the areas of apologetics. We're trained in the area of theology and hermeneutics and all of that. But a lot of times we're not trained to understand how to deal with someone who's dealing with serious mental health issues. So oftentimes churches may not be equipped ... to know how to handle it."
He also spoke to another dynamic: humans' penchant for picking an extreme "either, or" position on demons and the supernatural.
