How much authority does a layperson actually have in spiritual warfare? And when does boldness become dangerous?
As Dan and Jordan begin their new series through The Devil in the Castle, they lay the foundation for St. Teresa of Ávila’s understanding of spiritual warfare and the progress of the soul.
The devil is real. Spiritual warfare is real. But the answer is neither fear nor a reckless fascination with deliverance ministry.
In this episode, Dan and Jordan discuss the limits of spiritual authority, why they increasingly default serious cases to the priesthood, what St. Teresa teaches about the enemy’s tactics as a soul grows closer to God, and why authentic discipleship inevitably places us on the battlefield.
They also discuss Dan’s own experiences with spiritual warfare, including a dramatic brain injury and the prayer of a priest that followed.
The goal is not to become preoccupied with demons. It is to become equipped, unafraid, and increasingly united with God.
