You’ve heard “authority in Christ”—but do you know what it actually means?
In Episode 9 of The Lauren Turner Podcast, we open Scripture to explore the difference between power and authority—and why understanding that difference changes how you approach spiritual warfare.
From Satan’s fall to the sons of Sceva, we examine what happens when authority is separated from obedience and a relationship with God. We also explore how Jesus, the second Adam, restored through obedience what Adam lost through disobedience—and what His delegated authority means for believers today.
In this episode:
- Why Satan’s power and his authority are two different things
- How disobedience cost biblical leaders their authority
- Why using Jesus’ name requires more than knowing the words
- How intimacy with Jesus and obedience shape our spiritual lives
- What resisting the devil looks like—and why humility matters
If you’ve ever wondered what authority you have in Christ, where it comes from, or how to walk in it, this conversation is for you.
