Welcome to the archives. These articles represent many different seasons of my career. You’ll find posts written during my doctoral studies, years of marketing consulting, entrepreneurial experiments, and the occasional reflection on whatever happened to be capturing my attention at the time.

Blogging looked very different when many of these posts were published. Rather than removing them or fixing broken links from now defunct themes, I’ve chosen to preserve them as a snapshot of where I was, what I was learning, and how my thinking has evolved over the years.

Some ideas have stood the test of time. Others reflect the questions I was wrestling with at that particular moment. Either way, they tell part of the story.

Jason Owens Podcast Episode 7 Facing Spiritual Opposition

007: How to Face Spiritual Opposition and Win [Podcast]

by | Jan 2, 2017 | Jason R Owens Podcast

Spiritual opposition is one of the most overlooked aspects of developing a platform.

This is far more than the resistance (see The War of Art) that Pressfield mentions and warns us to fight.  Sometimes we face more than just a battle within.

I imagine that nearly everyone reading this post wants to share their goodness with the word, to make some aspect of people’s lives better.  This momentum of ours will not go unopposed, so prepare for it.

There are times when the battle comes from the outside in the form of forces that don’t want us to succeed.

In this podcast I share with you the steps I take to prepare myself for anything that lies ahead.

Forms of Spiritual Opposition

  • Ennui — “Awww…do  we have to do that today?”
  • Agreements — “I did poorly on my public talk today; I must not be any good at this. God is not with me any longer.”
  • Blatant Attack — Things fall apart at the most inopportune time could be an attack.
