Are We Dressing for a Fashion Show or a Spiritual Battle? – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast

Broadcasting live from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers a stirring devotional asking believers: are you dressing for a fashion show—or preparing for a spiritual battle?

Episode Description

Too many Christians today wear “plastic faith” that looks good on the outside but collapses under real pressure. The modern church often resembles a catwalk, focused on performance and appearance, while neglecting the deeper work of preparation. Yet Scripture is clear: our fight is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:10-18). The only way to stand firm is by putting on the full armor of God.

This message reveals why so many believers feel exhausted, defeated, and spiritually drained despite their best efforts. The problem is not that the enemy is too strong—it is that we are improperly dressed for the battle. Faith built on performance melts under pressure, but faith anchored in Christ stands firm.

Biblical Foundation

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes."Ephesians 6:10-11 (NIV)

Episode Highlights

  • Why “fashion-show Christianity” leaves us vulnerable
  • The importance of wearing every piece of God’s armor daily
  • How to stop “playing table tennis with the devil” and start walking in true authority
  • The freedom of relying on God’s strength instead of striving in our own
  • Practical insights on living prepared, not just looking religious

Life Application

The Christian life is not a show—it is a battle. The armor of God is not symbolic or optional; it is your daily protection:

  • The helmet of salvation guards your mind from lies and fear.
  • The breastplate of righteousness protects your heart and motives.
  • The belt of truth secures your life in God’s Word.
  • The shield of faith extinguishes fiery darts of doubt and accusation.
  • The sword of the Spirit equips you with Scripture to fight back.
  • The shoes of peace keep you steady and ready to carry the gospel.

Victory comes not from fighting in our own strength, but from standing firm in Christ’s authority. The cross has already secured the outcome—our role is to remain steadfast, dressed and ready.

Call to Action

This episode is an urgent invitation to trade surface-level religion for true, Spirit-filled readiness.
