Ep 189 - The War Is Real: Why Passive Catholic Men Are Losing the Battle
You are not living in neutral territory. You are standing on a battlefield.
In this opening episode of our Spiritual Warfare series, we confront a truth most Catholic men avoid: the war is real, and you are already in it.
Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the testimony of appointed exorcists like Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Fr. Chad Ripperger, Fr. Vincent Lampert, and Dr. Dan Schneider, we strip away the myths and expose how the enemy actually works.
Most men do not fall because they openly rebel. They fall because they drift. They stop praying. They stop going to confession. They stop resisting. And into that vacuum, disorder enters.
There is no neutral ground in the spiritual life. You are either moving toward God or sliding away from Him.
You were not baptized into comfort. You were baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection. You were made for combat.
If you are a Catholic husband, father, priest, or single man who wants clarity about spiritual warfare, demonic influence, confession, the state of grace, and authentic Catholic masculinity, this episode is for you.
The question is simple: Where have you stopped resisting?
The challenge this week is direct:
- Pray the St. Michael Prayer out loud three times a day (6am, 12pm, 6pm).
- Take 10 minutes of silence and ask God: “Where have I gone soft?”
The war is real. Fight like it.

3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode
- “The war is real and whether you want to acknowledge it or not, you’re already in it.”
- “No man accidentally becomes holy. It’s very intentional. And no man accidentally survives a war.”
- “The devil prefers resignation to outright rebellion.”
Key Takeaway for Men
Live in the state of grace. Go to confession. A man in grace with ordered habits becomes spiritually dangerous to the enemy.
