The Discernment of Spirits - Setting Captives Free

If you have ever felt discouraged in your spiritual life or feel like you fall into the same patterns of behavior and don’t know how to get out of them, today’s episode is for you!

I’m so excited to share with you my conversation with Fr. Timothy Gallagher, O.M.V., on the 14 Rules of the Discernment of Spirits by St. Ignatius of Loyola. If you’re not familiar with the rules, think of them as the coach’s game plan in a football game.

Now bear with me, as I’m not a football expert, but imagine yourself huddled around with your team learning strategies on how to overcome the assaults of your enemy… err I mean the opposing team. That is what these 14 rules are. They are a tried-and-true method, backed by the lived experiences of millions of people over centuries of time.

So, if you’re tired of getting beaten in the game and you want to actually take a stand and be on the offense, then pour yourself your favorite morning beverage and have a listen.

In today’s episode Fr. Gallagher shares about:

  • How to discern the movements of the good spirits versus the bad spirits

  • The difference between consolation and desolation and what to do when we experience them

  • Which 3 out of the 14 rules he has seen have the greatest impact on others

  • How to climb out of spiritual discouragement

  • How to confidently prepare for future desolation
