wimpy warriors
3 factors
1. intimidation fo the enemy
2. self doubt
3. self condemnation : don’t think they could win. they forgot about God.

quote p 43-44: the modern world is full of supervisors, managers, admins, and execs, but vry few warriors (outside of the nat’l armed services). that puts us at a disadvantage. we don’t have much of a concept of what a warrior is like, nor do we have an appreciation for soldierly behavior. for lots of good reasons, we value peace-making and compromise. but the main spiritual result produced by our compromising ways is that we do not know how to fight and win the great battles of the human soul. both the world and the body of christ desperately need real warriors who know how to engage in ultimate, extreme, external battles.
