DAILY DEVOTIONS, LIFELONG FAITH

How to Begin the Path to Discernment & Spiritual Warfare | feat. Dan Burke

30 Mar 2020

The Christian life is rough, even in the best of times. During a pandemic, it can be especially difficult to enter that narrow way. Long-time teacher and spiritual director Dan Burke joins us to discuss this and other themes of his book, Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits.

While it can seem daunting, discernment and spiritual warfare are tasks for anybody who wants to grow closer to God. Through discerning advice, our conscience, and the spirits that lead us, we find a greater sense of peace and grow in friendship with Christ.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, spiritual confusion, or even just not sure what path you should follow, today’s episode is for you. Stream here or find Catholic Exchange wherever you listen to podcasts.
