Jake & Bob are joined by their friends from Unbound Ministry, Neal and Matt Lozano. The conversation takes us through the journey of lifelong faith and how to spot the tactics used by the enemy in attempts to shake our foundations set in Christ. Neal and Matt share experiences from their relationships with Christ and their interpersonal relationships. They also share their system called the 5 Keys to Freedom, that helps to re-aim our sights back to the Father in times of trauma which leads to deeper healing. Key Points Discussion on the tactics used by the enemy & how evil spirits work primarily with deception. Acts of faith, such as renouncement, take away the weight of thoughts brought on by the enemy because of our inherent identity in Christ. Being able to identify the schemes of the devil are an essential part in implementing the 5 Keys to Freedom. The explanation of what it means to obtain deliverance. Working through the 5 Keys help to release you from the bondage in your life and to more fully see how Jesus is at work in you. Discussing how to seek God for revelation instead of blaming God for trauma and how that simple adjustment can contribute a great deal towards healing. The power that resentment has to control someone's life and how to break that connection through forgiveness.

Jake & Bob are joined by Fr. Justin Brady who leads the Office of Healing, Deliverance and Exorcism in the Diocese of Boise and has a long history of connection to our hosts. They continue the conversation on discernment and deliverance that began last week with Fr. Tim Gallagher. Fr. Justin shares insights from his work in deliverance ministry on how we can be brought back into right relationship with God, ourselves and our neighbors.  Key Points Fr. Justin shares his conversion story and how he got involved in his faith and his current work as a priest. Embracing the fullness of Catholicism but uniting the tradition of the faith with movements of the Holy Spirit today through things like the charismatic renewal. Exorcisms are reunifying a person into right relationship with themselves and with God. True Religion is living charity: loving God and our neighbor as ourselves. “God desires your healing” -Fr. Justin The power of combining spiritual work like deliverance prayer with professional counseling. A walk through of healing/deliverance prayer and an idea of how exorcisms work. A lie is a lie that needs to be healed, no matter whether the lie comes from myself or a demon. Resources Previous Episode with Fr. Tim Gallagher Fr.

Jake & Bob are joined by Fr. Timothy Gallagher for a discussion on how discernment and healing go hand in hand. Fr. Tim is the author of the incredible book “The Discernment of Spirits” that teaches us how to utilize St. Ignatius’ rules of discernment. He shares the process of discernment while Jake & Bob combine his knowledge with their expertise on healing. The process of healing and discerning God’s will for us work beautifully together. Key Points Discerning what is from the voice of the Holy Spirit and what is from the voice of the evil one. The rules of St. Ignatius are an invitation to hope. “The more healing that can happen on both the physical and psychological levels, the harder the enemy’s task becomes.” -Fr. Tim  The first step in discernment is to notice any movements, thoughts or stirrings of the heart. Identify whether it is from the good spirit or the bad spirit and then take the appropriate action. If it is from the good spirit, take it in and be guided by it. If it is from the enemy, reject it. The discernment process happens repeatedly throughout the healing process. It is continual and helps you know how to move forward. Our parents/guardians are the first representatives of God to us. We may often hear God’s voice as our parent’s voices which can either be positive or negative. If we believe lies about ourselves from our parents, we need to work through those so that we don’t hear those lies coming from God’s voice in our hearts. We need to invite Jesus’ to speak His truth in our hearts. In times of desolation, never make a change. Renouncement prayer is a way to practically renounce lies and accept the opposing truths.

Jake and Bob continue their series on working through hopelessness to find hope. When we feel hopeless, we often avoid God because we feel ashamed, guilty or unloved. In these times we only see God as a judge, pointing out our failings. But God is also our Savior who loves us even in the places we feel unloveable. We can try to find hope through things or people but this will let us down. God is the only one who can provide us with the hope we desire. Our hosts walk us through how to find hope again through an Encounter with the God who loves us. Key Points Hopelessness closes our hearts to the Encounter with God. When the sickness of our lives becomes evident to us, we often only see God as Judge and not as Savior. Jesus loves us in the places we feel unloveable.  Healing is a real encounter that brings us into wholeness, truth and communion. If you lose sight of the Savior, Christianity is meaningless. When we put hope in things or people that aren’t God, they become idols, and idols will always disappoint us.
