Jonathan Pokluda’s New Book Reveals the Answer to the Existence of Evil
Jonathan "JP" Pokluda did not grow up in a church that talked about spiritual warfare, nor does he profess to believe in the trope, "...the devil lurking behind every bush." Yet, in his new book, Your Story Has a Villain: Identify Spiritual Warfare and Learn How to Defeat the Enemy (on sale Jan. 28, 2025) he challenges readers to confront an often-overlooked spiritual reality as he exploresthe existence of evil, the tactics leveraged in spiritual warfare, and how to stand firm in God's truth.
Through relatable insights and bold truth-telling, Pokluda brings theological depth and decades of experience as a pastor to this work, which was inspired by a series of sermons that profoundly shaped his view on spiritual reality. Through a heartfelt call for individuals to awaken to the spiritual conflict shaping their lives, Pokluda offers personal stories, biblical reflection, and practical tools for faith. Readers are invited to deepen their spiritual perspective, live equipped in God's truth, rediscover the abundant life Jesus provides, and take a stand against the forces that seek to steal and destroy.
Unmasking the Villain and Equipping Believers for Victory
The book traverses challenging topics, like the reality of hell, the spiritual battles faced by believers, and the ways the Enemy deceives, distracts, and destroys-strategies that too often go unnoticed or ignored. Through stories of personal experiences, moments of deep reflection, and grounding everything in Scripture, Pokluda provides readers with tools to identify and resist the Enemy's influence.
Jonathan's exploration of these spiritual truths is far from abstract. From a gripping account of a demonic encounter that shook his early ministry to real-life analogies, like "mistaking a harmless snake for a deadly one," he offers grounded and practical insights. Each chapter thoughtfully unpacks topics such as the distortion of good and evil, the distractions of modern life, and the immense power of the Word of God to fight deception.
"I want readers to process life differently, to see with fresh eyes that the battles they face each day have eternal stakes," Pokluda said. "We can continue through life oblivious, or we can live fully as conquerors, equipped with God's truth and empowered by His victory."
Your Story Has a Villain: Identify Spiritual Warfare and Learn How to Defeat the Enemy will be available on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 wherever books are sold.
