Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Ephesians 6:13 uses the phrase 'full armor' twice and emphasizes standing firm in 'the evil day.' Shirer argues that the full armor is not optional or selective — you need every piece. Which of the six pieces did you find most challenging to understand or apply? Which came most naturally to you?
2.Shirer designed the perforated prayer cards as a daily tool for putting on the armor through prayer. Have you used them? If so, what has that practice been like? If not, what has kept you from it, and what would help you begin?
3.Look back at the six pieces of armor as a unified whole: truth (belt), righteousness (breastplate), peace (shoes), faith (shield), salvation (helmet), and the Word of God (sword). How do you see these six pieces as interconnected? What happens when one is missing?
a.For example, how does a lack of truth in your core affect your ability to wield the sword?
b.How does unconfessed sin (a missing breastplate) lower your shield of faith?
