Episode notes

Dr. Dan Schneider joins Conor to discuss spiritual warfare, exorcism, and staying hard to kill in the spiritual life. Dr. Schneider is a former U.S. Army helicopter pilot, Gulf War veteran, and amateur boxer, and has also worked for many years in the Catholic apostolate of deliverance and exorcism both at the diocesan level and as a founding member of Liber Christo, a movement in conjunction with Fr. Chad Ripperger, SMD which provides tools and resources for priests and laity working in the apostolate of exorcism.

Conor and Dan discuss spiritual authority, rules for engagement with the demonic, angels and demons, the Blessed Virgin Mary’s power in exorcisms, the differences between minor and solemn exorcisms, the purpose of suffering, how demonic manifestation works, and how the reality of exorcisms is much different than the movies. Watch and listen to Dan’s incredible testimonies and eyewitness accounts of the liberating and healing power of God working through His priests and lay faithful.
