Conor is joined by Fr. Dan Reehil, a Catholic priest and diocesan exorcist, for a grounded and hope-filled conversation about how God is actively at work in the world today—even in the midst of spiritual darkness.
Drawing from firsthand experience, Fr. Reehil explains how the Church carefully discerns true demonic activity, what exorcisms are actually like in real life, and why Hollywood depictions miss the mark. The conversation ranges far beyond exorcism, however: listen as Fr. Reehil emphasizes trust in God, the spiritual authority given through our Baptism, and the importance of prayer and the sacraments in our daily life. Rather than fostering fear, he points all Catholics toward confidence, peace, and the reality that Christ has already won—and continues to work through His Church today.
