"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil..."
Biblical Foundation: Matthew 4:1-11

Every person will face giants. Some giants take the form of fear, anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, financial hardship, discouragement, or uncertainty about the future. Others are less visible, yet just as destructive. They show up as spiritual battles that quietly influence our thoughts, decisions, and relationships. The question is not whether we will face obstacles. The question is whether we are prepared to overcome them.

​

In this powerful workshop, Mike Weddington teaches that victory begins by understanding the true nature of the battle. Drawing from Scripture, executive leadership, athletics, and personal experience, Mike helps participants recognize that many of life's greatest struggles are not simply physical or emotional. They are spiritual. Just as coaches spend countless hours studying an opponent before a game, believers must understand the tactics of the enemy if they want to stand firm in their faith.

​

Using the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness as the foundation for the workshop, Mike demonstrates how Jesus responded to every attack with the Word of God. Rather than relying on human strength or emotion, Jesus answered each temptation with Scripture. That same example provides believers with a practical model for overcoming fear, temptation, discouragement, and the challenges they encounter every day.

​

Participants will explore the characteristics of spiritual opposition and learn why the Bible describes Satan as a deceiver, accuser, liar, and destroyer. More importantly, they will discover how God's truth provides wisdom, strength, and confidence in every season of life. Mike explains that lasting victory is not found in simply trying harder. It comes from knowing who you are in Christ, understanding God's promises, and applying His Word consistently.

​

This workshop also addresses many of the questions believers wrestle with throughout their faith journey. What does the Bible teach about overcoming obstacles? What role do faith, prayer, and obedience play in spiritual victory? How do our words influence our lives? What does Scripture say about generational patterns and spiritual strongholds? Participants leave with practical, biblical answers that strengthen both their personal walk with Christ and their ability to encourage others.

​

Rather than leaving discouraged by the challenges they face, participants leave equipped with biblical principles they can apply immediately. They gain confidence in God's promises, practical tools for spiritual growth, and a renewed understanding that no obstacle is greater than the power of God's Word.
