Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table: It's Time to Win the Battle of Your Mind... by Louie Giglio
4.0
I heard Louie peach this sermon at our church (Elevation Church) years ago during Code Orange Revival and I’ve never forgotten it. It’s a sermon God reminded me of continually during my 2nd battle of cancer a couple years ago when God put Psalm 23:5 on my heart to remind me of how he was taking care of me in the middle of the suffering. Any time I was struggling with my perspective, I kept seeing Louie’s sermon illustration of the table and the food in my mind, as God reminded me not to let the enemy eat the food God was trying to give me at my table, and that my enemies being there didn’t mean he wasn’t providing for me.
I liked the book but I did feel like the sermon was more impactful than the book. Maybe it was just the visual, and the straight forward way the sermon was, I’m not sure. Still a good book but for sure listen to the sermon, especially if you’re dealing with your faith because of suffering and trials.
Side note, the audiobook has an interview at the end with the Wolf’s with Hope Heals and Louie’s sermon which was really great, so highly recommend that version.
