Intro

In this episode, acclaimed Catholic author and radio host Jesse Romero joins our Executive Director, Mario Costabile, to discuss his book Prayer as a Weapon and the critical role prayer plays in spiritual warfare. Drawing from Scripture, Tradition, and his own experiences, Romero shares practical insights for modern Catholics—especially men—on how to strengthen their spiritual armor and defend against the forces of evil.

We cover the types of prayer, the power of the St. Michael Prayer, the Rosary, and how specificity and humility can amplify prayer’s effectiveness. Jesse also explains why a return to personal prayer is essential not just for individual spiritual growth, but for making an impact on the wider culture.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your prayer life, understand spiritual warfare, or become a joyful soldier for Christ, this conversation provides guidance, encouragement, and real-life examples of prayer’s transformative power.
