Can Christians fight back or does the Bible demand peace?

In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with co-host Sean Kennard, a professional MMA fighter, Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and former law enforcement officer, to tackle one of the most debated questions in the Christian community: self-defense.

Together they break down Scripture, from Exodus and Nehemiah to Luke 22, to uncover whether defending yourself and others is compatible with following Jesus. They also discuss the difference between prideful violence and righteous protection, why preparation matters, and how faith and strength can work together when confronting evil.
