Crushing the Serpent: 5 Truths from Jeff Voth’s Serpent Crusher

In Serpent Crusher, Jeff issues a powerful call to Christian men: stop living in passivity, rise in authority, and crush the enemy as God intended. Drawing on the biblical model of Christ as the ultimate Serpent Crusher (Genesis 3:15), here is the warrior's path that every man of God must walk if he’s going to reclaim his identity and purpose.

1. Recognize the Battle is Real
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood...” — Ephesians 6:12

The first step to becoming a serpent crusher is understanding that we’re in a spiritual war. Too many men ignore the reality of the enemy, numbed by comfort or busyness. But passivity is exactly what the serpent wants. Voth challenges men to wake up and engage in the battle with spiritual clarity and courage.

2. Reclaim Your God-Given Identity
“The Spirit Himself bears witness… that we are children of God.” — Romans 8:16

The enemy’s greatest weapon is identity theft. If he can convince a man that he’s weak, unworthy, or disqualified, he wins. Serpent Crusher reminds men that you are a son, a warrior, and a king under Christ’s authority. You were created to crush, not to cower.

3. Reject the Lies of the Serpent
“You are of your father the devil… he is a liar and the father of it.” — John 8:44

Every serpent speaks lies—just like in the Garden. Voth urges men to identify and confront the lies that have kept them bound: “You’re not enough,” “You’ll never change,” or “God has given up on you.” Victory begins when truth replaces deception.

4. Rise with the Authority of Christ
“I have given you authority… to overcome all the power of the enemy.” — Luke 10:19

Men are called to walk in the authority Jesus died to give them. That means leading with boldness, standing firm against temptation, and being a spiritual covering for your family. Voth challenges men to rise—not just as protectors, but as kingdom warriors.

5. Restore What the Enemy Has Stolen
“The thief comes only to steal… I came that they may have life.” — John 10:10

Satan is a thief, but Jesus is a restorer. The final call of Serpent Crusher is to take back what’s been lost—marriages, purpose, purity, and passion. God is in the business of redemption, and He’s inviting men to be part of that mission.

Time to Crush the Serpent
You were not made for the sidelines. You were made to fight. Serpent Crusher is more than a book—it’s a battle cry for men to reject passivity, embrace their God-given identity, and step into their calling as warriors of light.

It’s time to stop letting the serpent speak. It’s time to crush him underfoot—just like Jesus did.
