Today, John, Devin, and Sam dive into the pressing question: Are your enemies still pulling the strings in your life, preventing you from finding peace and becoming the man you're meant to be? In a world where being triggered and taking offense is the norm, the culture has changed how we approach dialogue and resolution and the effects are toxic.

Today, John, Sam, and our guest, Fr. Ken Garaci, discuss how he went from being a profit-driven agnostic business executive to a Catholic priest who constantly guides men in defeating Satan and resisting his temptations. The story of how God so clearly intervened in his selfish life serves as a reminder to all of us that God is always seeking our souls. Fr. Ken delivers one incredible statement after another to remind each of us that we must wake up, truly comprehend the world around us, and utilize the tools God has provided to overcome Satan while simultaneously growing in love for Christ. We are all engaged in a battle, whether we are aware of it or not; the world depends on our response to the call.Spiritual Warfare and Divine Mercy: The Weapon for Our Time - https://tanbooks.com/products/spiritual-warfare-and-divine-mercy-the-weapon-of-our-times/Fathers of Mercy - https://fathersofmercy.com🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com (Including a talk with Gabe Castillo and dozens of other content)🔴 🔴 Help Support the Catholic Gentleman - https://catholicgentleman.com/supportBinding Prayer by Fr. Chad RippergerIn the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God,Jesus, I ask You to render all spirits impotent, paralyzed and ineffective in attempting to take revenge against me, my family, my friends, my community, and those who pray for me and my family.I ask You to bind all evil spirits, all powers of the air, the water, the ground, the fire, under ground, or wherever they exercise their powers, any satanic forces in nature and any and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters.I ask You to bind by Thy Precious Blood all of the attributes, aspects and characteristics, interactions, communications and deceitful games of the evil spirits.I ask You to break any and all bonds, ties, and attachments in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, as a young man, he left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and achieved business success, but made little room for God. God, however, did not give up on him. During this journey, Our Lord presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and to ask the question "What is Truth?" Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism, to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
