Ephesians 5 and 6, taken together, list many aspects of the paradigm shift Paul outlines as necessary to be a disciple of Christ:
A summary of Ephesians 5
1 Be imitators of God as dear children…
5:2 Walk in love…
5:3 Flee fornication and covetousness…
5:4 Don’t let cursing come out of your mouth…
5:6 Be wary of the pretentions of religious spirits…
5:8 You WERE darkness, now you ARE light…
5:18 Don’t be drunk with wine – be filled with the Spirit…
5:19 Be kind and help each other aim higher…
5:20 Live with an attitude of gratitude…
5:21 Submit to one another – it respects our Father…
5:22 Wives submit to your husbands…
5:25 Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church…
6:1 Children obey your parents…
6:2 Honor your mother and father, so life goes well…
6:4 Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath… 
6:5 Servants, obey your leaders – the battle belongs to the Lord…
6:9 Leaders, respect those under your authority. Remember: you have no special privileges with God.
6:9 (Voice) Masters, hear this: act in kind to your slaves. Stop terrorizing and threatening them. Don’t forget that you have a Master in heaven who does not take sides or pick favorites.
Paradigm Shift?
10 Finally, brothers and sisters, draw your strength and might from God. 
11 Put on the full armor of God to protect yourselves from the devil and his evil schemes. 
12 We’re not waging war against enemies of flesh and blood alone. No, this fight is against tyrants, against authorities, against supernatural powers, [against] demon princes that slither in the darkness of this world, and against wicked spiritual armies that lurk about in heavenly places.”

Does that sound like 2023 America?

Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Ephesians 6:16 Commentary by Rick Renner
A better translation for “above all” would be “out front, covering all.” It doesn't describe the importance of faith; it describes the position of faith. The word “faith” in Greek the word “pistis,” which usually describes something that's moving forward. It is like a bullet that's been shot out of a gun. BAM! 
You cannot pull it back! Faith is something that propels forward. Scripture describes a “fast forward advancing force.”

Romans 12:3 says, “God has given to every man the measure of faith.” 
People say, “I just don't have as much faith as you. My problem is that you have more faith than me. I just have a deficiency in my faith.” That's just not true!  God has given everyone “the measure of faith.” 
When you were born again, God measured you from top to bottom and side to side. He gave you enough faith to cover you.

Excerpt from “A Predator’s Paradise,” by Abigail Shrier, January 25, 2023
“While the last few decades have seen an increase in human trafficking, women at all three of the anti-trafficking groups I spoke with across California agreed: nothing compares with the stunning rise in trafficking they’ve witnessed in recent months. Powell, formerly a sergeant in the Los Angeles Police Department’s Vice Division, knows the city’s streets intimately. Over the last six months, the number of prostitutes has doubled, she says. “On Figueroa, between 68th and 75th, in an hour, you might see about 30 girls out there. Now, you can see 60 to 65 girls in an hour.”

Isaiah 21 (AMP)
5 “Rise up, captains, oil your shields for battle, for your enemy is at the gates!”

2 Samuel 1
21 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
