What Is Truth - [42] Christians & Self-defense? ft Eric Wilson by Robert Veith & Marlou Smith

Episode 42: In this episode the hosts take a deep and honest look at defending ourselves physically.

The hosts are joined by Eric Wilson, who spent 25 years deeply involved in the martial arts world before God opened his eyes to the spiritual realities behind it. Eric shares his powerful testimony of how martial arts shaped his identity, worldview, and relationships — and how the Lord brought him out of a life built on self-reliance, control, and fear.

Topics considered:
Should Christians fight back or practice self-defence?
Is martial arts spiritually neutral, or does it open a door?
How does pride influence our reaction to danger?

The hosts also share real stories of supernatural protection, radical forgiveness, and how God transforms fear into peace when we fully trust Him.

This episode challenges cultural norms and invites viewers to reflect deeply:
Do I trust my own strength… or the power and promises of God?

If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians should defend themselves physically or put their children in martial arts “for discipline,” this discussion will give you clarity.
