The Power of the Rosary: How Mary Heals Wounds and Breaks Bondage — with Gabriel Castillo
When Catholics actually pray the Rosary well, hearts heal, families are protected, and hidden lies lose power. Gabriel Castillo (Gabby After Hours) joins Jordan to unpack real spiritual warfare (the 95% that happens in our minds and hearts), how Mary personally heals father/mother wounds, and why a daily Rosary fuels Confession, the Eucharist, and peace of soul.Gabriel’s new book: The Power of the Rosary• Book: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-power-of-the-rosary/• Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Power-of-the-Rosary-Audiobook/B0FNS35SBB?srsltid=AfmBOorwoJ7b_vCPR-FXfXmf-lQ-kkJZkn6yTCHvJEZzK_TEZZ2xq6rf• Gabriel’s channel (Gabby After Hours): https://www.youtube.com/@gabiafterhours

Introduction to Teresa of Avila and The Devil in the Castle
We’re launching a new series on Dan’s book The Devil in the Castle, a practical guide to spiritual warfare through St. Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle—with help from St. John of the Cross and St. Ignatius. We unpack authority (who can command what and when), why we defer to priests, how prayer + reflection mark true discipleship, and why “deliverance ministry” needs guardrails. What you’ll learnWhy Teresa’s “castle” map matters for everyday CatholicsHow the enemy’s tactics change as you advance toward union with GodRealms of authority: family, spouses, clergy—where boldness is wise and where it’s recklessWhy prayer & reflection are the two turning keys into authentic discipleshipA sober, non-sensational approach to spiritual warfare that avoids common abuses

Pope Leo XIV and Demonic Deception
It's been HOW LONG since we posted?! Wow. Apologies, because we have certainly been recording... As a token of apology, here is an episode earlier than scheduled. Or is it still later...? Either way you're getting it earlier than the youtube subscribers so that's gotta count for something. They still have to wait another 2 days! But onto business...Today we tackle a neglected battlefield of spiritual warfare: communication. Scripture warns that we’ll answer for “every careless word” and that mercy received must become mercy given (James 2–3). We unpack how the enemy distorts messages, inflames wounds, and pushes us from charity into accusation—especially online. We also walk through practical rules to slow down, pray, reread, and respond with a charitable assumption rather than the devil’s favorite weapon: rash judgment.What you’ll learn: •Why the enemy targets communication to divide spouses, priests, bishops—and the Church •How negative assumptions and interior wounds make us easy to manipulate •The difference between fraternal correction and the sins of detraction & calumny •A simple discipline for hot emails/comments: pause → pray → reread → delay •Why James 3 is a must-read before you post •A call to conversion: show the mercy you hope to receive at judgmentScripture referenced •James 2–3 (mercy & the power of the tongue) •1 Peter 5:8 (the enemy prowls) •Matthew 18:6; 12:36 (causing scandal; every careless word) •Luke 6:36–37 (be merciful; judge not)Chapters:00:00 Spiritual Warfare and the Pope's Interview01:44 The Enemy's Tactics in Communication02:51 Misinterpretations and Emotional Reactions03:59 The Devil's Strategy to Divide08:23 The Pope's Interview: Different Perspectives11:38 The Impact of Miscommunication on Tradition14:58 Criticism and the Sin of Assumption16:49 Confronting Sin and Mercy17:31 Pharisee Behavior and Hypocrisy17:52 The Traditionalist Dilemma18:20 Vitriol and Hatred in Comments18:40 Madonna and Charitable Assumptions19:58 Respecting the Pope20:27 Challenges Faced by Traditionalists21:50 Negative Assumptions and Their Consequences30:09 The Power of the Tongue
