About this listen
Demons thrive in the dark. That’s why St. Ignatius’ 13th Rule of Discernment urges us to expose their lies — fast.
In this episode, Dan and Jordan dive into one of the most underrated spiritual warfare tactics: calling out the devil’s schemes and sharing them with others. You’ll hear stories from police work, deliverance ministry, and personal battles with desolation that reveal how the enemy loses power the moment we bring his plans into the light.
They discuss:
•The spiritual and psychological power of naming desolation
•Why texting “I’m in desolation” can shift everything
•The importance of holy friendships and spiritual accountability
•How demons act like cowards — and why exposure makes them flee
