## Resource

Why do some spiritual battles refuse to break—even when you are praying, believing, and doing everything you know to do? In this powerful conversation, Larry Ragland sits down with minister and author Katie Souza to expose a deeper dimension of spiritual warfare many believers have never been taught: the condition of the soul and the spiritual access points the enemy uses to attack our lives. Katie shares her dramatic testimony of encountering Jesus while serving a prison sentence and how the Holy Spirit began teaching her the Word of God during those years behind bars. What started as personal transformation grew into a ministry that now helps believers understand spiritual authority, healing of the soul, and how to confront demonic strategies that keep people trapped in cycles of defeat. In this episode, Larry and Katie unpack the biblical foundation behind spiritual authority, repentance, communion, and the healing of trauma that can open doors to oppression. They also explore the biblical references to “serpents” that Jesus spoke about and how believers can walk in the authority Christ has given them to overcome the power of the enemy. If you’ve ever wondered why some battles seem impossible to break, this conversation will stretch your understanding of spiritual warfare and help you confront the fight with clarity and confidence.
