The Bible Assumes a World We’ve Been Trained Not to See
The quiet but steady dulling of the Christian mind...
The modern Christian imagination has been quietly reshaped.
Not simply by heresy.
Not solely by disbelief.
But by specifically through disconnection.
We still affirm spiritual realities. We still conceptually believe in angels, demons, resurrection, and heaven. But somewhere along the way, we stopped organizing our lives around what Scripture assumes is real - a cosmic worldview.

As I argue in The Unseen Battle, the Bible never stops to defend the unseen realm. It simply presupposes it.
“Scripture does not argue for the existence of an unseen realm. It assumes it. The biblical authors write as though heaven and earth are overlapping spheres of the same reality.”
This is why the language of the Bible feels so foreign to us.
It was written from within a worldview we no longer inhabit.
The problem isn’t that modern Christians reject the supernatural.
It’s that we’ve been discipled to treat it as background noise.
“When the unseen becomes theoretical, obedience becomes fragmented.”
The biblical world is not divided between “spiritual” and “earthly.”
To recover biblical faithfulness, we don’t need new information.
We need re-orientation.
This book exists because I believe the church has lost something essential—not belief, but perception.
If you’ve sensed that tension, The Unseen Battle is written for you, and it’s available tomorrow!
'Dr. Joel Muddamalle has a remarkable way of bringing theology to life in a way that is both faithful to the text and incredibly practical. With scholarly precision and livable truth, he shows us that where the enemy offers counterfeit, Jesus offers clarity. In a culture looking to vibes and spiritual fads, this book is sure to point you to the unchanging truth of Scripture.'
