“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17
Sometimes, divine inspiration comes through the most unexpected conversations. Yesterday, a simple dialogue with my new friend Allen Steadham, Author transformed how I approach storytelling about spiritual warfare.
The Challenge
When I first conceptualized a video about Jesus and Satan’s confrontations, my initial approach felt... hollow. It risked turning a profound spiritual battle into something that looked more like a sensationalized wrestling match than a transformative spiritual encounter.
A Brother’s Wisdom
Allen’s insight cut straight to the heart: he said. “Focus on the Biblical truth. Show how Jesus actually defeated Satan.”
The Revelation
Suddenly, the narrative shifted from spectacle to substance. Instead of a dramatic confrontation, we explored two critical moments:
The Wilderness Temptation: Jesus, hungry and isolated, defeating Satan’s schemes with the pure, sharp edge of Scripture.
Armageddon’s Prophetic Victory: The ultimate showdown where Christ’s authority is not just demonstrated, but eternally established.
Collaborative Creation
What emerged wasn’t just a video. It was a testament to how God uses community to refine His message. Allen didn’t just offer critique - he offered a pathway to deeper truth.

Spiritual Principle: Iron Sharpening
This experience embodied Proverbs 27:17. Just as iron sharpens iron, our spiritual conversations have the power to:
Reveal blind spots
Elevate understanding
Sharpen our spiritual perception
Refine our storytelling
The Bigger Picture
In a world hungry for authentic spiritual content, collaboration isn’t just helpful - it’s holy. When we humble ourselves to hear each other, God’s truth becomes clearer, sharper, more penetrating.
