Week 1: Introduction — This Means War

1.Priscilla describes the moment she sensed God calling her to write this book as a direct response to real spiritual warfare in her own home and family. What was your initial reaction to her framing prayer as a *weapon* rather than a conversation? Did it feel foreign, exciting, or uncomfortable — and why?

2.She insists that the enemy is not a cartoon villain but a real, strategic, personal opponent who has studied *you* specifically. How seriously have you taken that idea in your own spiritual life up to this point?

3.The book's title comes from James 5:16 — "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." What words in that verse stand out to you, and what do they imply about the kind of prayer Priscilla is calling you toward?
