093 – Standing Firm in Spiritual Warfare with Athena Dean Holtz
What if the spiritual battles you’re facing aren’t random, but strategic attacks meant to keep you discouraged, divided, and distracted?
In today’s conversation, Athena Dean Holtz joins Missy to unpack the themes of her new book, “No Longer Hidden: You Cannot Resist What You Do Not Recognize.” Drawing from decades of ministry, deep personal wounds, and God’s restoring work, Athena helps listeners understand how the enemy operates and how believers can stand firm in Christ with courage, clarity, and unity.
Whether you’ve faced betrayal, spiritual confusion, church hurt, or the struggle to forgive, this episode offers biblical truth and practical tools to help you walk in freedom.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
-
Why recognizing the enemy’s schemes is essential for spiritual warfare
-
How unforgiveness gives the enemy a foothold
-
What it means to “armor up” daily
Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Welcome Friends!
My name is Missy, and I love Jesus!
I am a Christ-follower, wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and host of the Bold Faith Now podcast. My heart is to encourage believers to live boldly for Jesus in a world that often tells us to stay quiet, blend in, or keep our faith tucked safely in the shadows.
Through writing, speaking, and podcasting, I help believers grow in bold faith, stand firm in truth, and view the world through a biblical worldview. Because following Jesus was never meant to be passive. It is a call to shine His light, speak truth with grace, and take the next obedient step.
My prayer is simple: to point others to Jesus, encourage bold faith, and remind believers that now is the time to live courageously for Him. Join the Bold Faith community and listen to the podcast for encouragement to live out your faith with conviction, clarity, and courage.
