  Spiritual Discernment 101

  Sep 15, 202640 min

  In this episode of The Demonologist Podcast, religious demonologist Adam Blai explores how some of the most important decisions in your life can be hijacked by your emotions, your imagination, or a coincidence that feels more meaningful than it really is. How can you tell the difference between a genuine nudge from God, a temptation pulling you off course, and a mental story you may be building from nothing? Drawing on St. Ignatius of Loyola’s discernment of spirits, Adam breaks down the difference between spiritual consolation and desolation, why guilt can sometimes be a gift, and why you should never make major life changes while you’re spiritually or emotionally flooded. He explains why consolation and desolation can sometimes appear at the same time, the Ignatian warning against making major decisions in desolation, and how to actively “fight back” against destructive thoughts instead of simply waiting for them to fade. Adam also explores why bringing a struggle into the light by sharing it with a trusted person can strip it of its power, what reciprocal discernment can look like when something truly comes from God, and how providence may open doors when a direction is real. At the same time, he warns against building major life decisions on coincidence alone and explains how ego, emotion, and the desire to feel specially guided can cloud spiritual discernment. Throughout the episode, Adam emphasizes the importance of reason, patience, prayer, and outside feedback over a sudden rush of certainty. He closes with a striking real-life example of urgent spiritual discernment during an emergency, demonstrating that while patience is often essential, there are rare moments when immediate action is exactly what faith requires. Essential listening for anyone trying to discern God’s will, wrestle with temptation, distinguish spiritual consolation from desolation, or determine whether a powerful interior prompting is genuine spiritual guidance—or simply your own mind running ahead of you.

  Spiritual First Aid

  Sep 7, 202639 min

  In this episode of The Demonologist Podcast, religious demonologist Adam Blai explores Spiritual First Aid—a grounded, practical approach for people concerned about demonic possession, the more commonly encountered problem of spiritual oppression, or spiritual warfare in general. Drawing from his experience in the ministry of exorcism, Adam shares a practical list of advice he gives to people seeking help from the Church, including those who believe they may need the assistance of an exorcist. At the heart of his approach is the understanding that spiritual problems are almost always a symptom of an area in our lives where we may be falling short or being called to grow. Rather than focusing solely on the perceived spiritual attack, Adam explains how examining our lives honestly, addressing sin and unresolved wounds, strengthening our relationship with God, and returning to the foundational practices of the Catholic faith can help address the underlying vulnerabilities. Prayer, healing, and deliverance can all play an important role, but lasting spiritual help begins with putting one’s spiritual life in order and building a stronger foundation in faith. Because so many people have questions about spiritual warfare, oppression, deliverance, and how to respond to spiritual concerns in their own lives, Adam will be expanding on these topics in future episodes, taking a deeper look at the individual steps in Spiritual First Aid and offering additional practical guidance. Adam’s Spiritual First-Aid List: 1. Don’t Look for a Quick Fix 2. Examine Your Life Honestly 3. Get Your Spiritual and Religious Life in Order 4. Read the Bible 5. Repent and Ask for Grace to Change 6. Forgive Others 7. Spend Time in Eucharistic Adoration 8. Explore the Rosary and Devotions to the Saints 9. Use Sacramentals with Faith 10. Get Your Home Blessed 11. Remove Sinful, Idolatrous, or Occult Items from Your Space 12. Delete Immoral Material from Your Devices 13. Seek Healing Masses or Deliverance Prayer Website https://www.thedemonologistpodcast.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheDemonologistPodcast GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/TheDemonologistPodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDemonologistPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedemonologistpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedemonologistpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587980725718 Hosted on Acast.

  The Devil In The Digital Age

  Sep 1, 202637 min

  In this episode of The Demonologist Podcast, religious demonologist Adam Blai explores the devil in the modern world—and particularly the digital age—where ancient temptations have found new pathways through smartphones, apps, streaming platforms, social media, AI, gaming, and the endless scroll. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in the world of exorcism and spiritual warfare, Adam explains that technology itself is not the enemy; the danger lies in how it can be used to glamorize sin, normalize destructive behavior, foster secrecy and addiction, and gradually pull people away from God. Adam examines how temptation can exploit memory, emotion, curiosity, and vulnerability, and how seemingly harmless online content can become a near occasion of sin. The discussion tackles the darker corners of the digital world, including online gambling, occult apps and content, predatory online communities, sexting, hookup apps, and the ways predators can exploit gaming platforms, voice chat, and secrecy to groom and manipulate children. Ultimately, Adam emphasizes that navigating the digital age requires discernment, vigilance, repentance, and accountability—recognizing that the same technology capable of exposing people to darkness can also be used to spread truth, strengthen faith, build community, and bring people closer to God.

  The Devil's Tricks To Ensnare You

  Aug 24, 202635 min

  In this episode of The Demonologist Podcast , religious demonologist Adam Blai explores the subtle tricks the Devil uses to ensnare people and keep them spiritually bound. Drawing on his experiences in exorcism ministry, Blai examines how demonic deception can exploit sin, unforgiveness, guilt, self-condemnation, and despair. He explains that some of the most dangerous lies are not dramatic or frightening—they can sound comforting, flattering, reasonable, or even spiritually convincing. At the heart of the discussion is the importance of repentance, forgiving others, and accepting God’s forgiveness. Blai warns particularly against the trap of allowing our worst past sins to define who we are. While genuine remorse can lead us to repentance, growth, and a deeper relationship with God, persistent self-hatred and despair can become distortions that prevent healing. The episode offers an important reminder that the Devil seeks to use our wounds and failures to keep us trapped in the past, while God calls us through repentance, forgiveness, and mercy toward freedom and restoration.

  Guardian Angels + Spiritual Warfare

  Aug 17, 202639 min

  In this episode of The Demonologist Podcast hosted by Religious Demonologist Adam Blai, we take a deep dive into guardian angels and their vital role in spiritual warfare. Blai presents a reflection grounded in Catholic teaching, weaving together Scripture, Matthew 18:10 and Psalms 34 and 91, the Catechism, insights from Church Fathers, and personal experiences to explain how guardian angels guide, protect, and strengthen us without ever overriding our free will. He emphasizes that human life is surrounded by their watchful care from infancy to death, he highlights that while angels are personal and present with us, they are not omnipresent like God, and they ultimately belong to Jesus rather than serving as our personal possessions. Consequently, we cannot command them or presume to name them, as naming implies an authority over them that we do not possess. Blai explains that angelic assistance is primarily spiritual rather than a shortcut around suffering, meaning angels do not eliminate temptation, hardship, or demonic attacks entirely, but instead fortify us to resist sin, endure trials, and grow in virtue. He frames spiritual warfare as a necessary test permitted by God for our maturation, noting that trials help us gain wisdom, discipline, and patience, while practices like fasting, self-denial, and penance serve to train the will. Furthermore, because angels are creatures of constant prayer who stand ever before God, they join their voices with ours whenever we pray. Highlighting the advice of Padre Pio, Blai encourages listeners to speak to their guardian angel as a close friend and confidant while maintaining a posture of profound reverence. The episode also features rare accounts of physical interventions and concludes with practical steps for deepening one's relationship with the angelic realm. Listeners are encouraged to pray the Angel of God prayer daily, speak to their guardian angel with respect and trust, practice penance and self-denial, avoid attempting to name their angel, and consider making a personal consecration in their own words, always in accordance with God's will. SHOW NOTES: The connection between St. Athanasius and the "peace angels" of St. Anthony the Great comes from a famous book written in the fourth century. St. Athanasius wrote a book called The Life of St. Anthony . In this book, he explains how St. Anthony lived alone in the desert and fought against evil spirits. If you wish to deepen your understanding of angels—specifically the role and presence of your guardian angel—Adam highly recommend exploring the work of Opus Angelorum ( opusangelorum.org ). As a fully approved Catholic religious community, they are dedicated to the study of the angelic realm and offer comprehensive guidance on spiritual exercises and prayers. While they provide a structured program, you do not need to wait for a formal program to invite a closer relationship with your guardian angel; you can make an informal, personal act of consecration right now. While the following steps are not tied to a single saint or private revelation, they synthesize the core components found in traditional acts of consecration. Adam outlines each stage below; feel free to pause between them to offer your own heartfelt prayers in your own words. 1.    First, in your own words, commit to cooperating with your guardian angel so that you and those you're responsible for make it to heaven. 2.    Second, in your own words, promise to be faithful to God and his church. 3.    Third, in your own words, commit to trying to pray often and ask your guardian angel to inspire you to pray. 4.    Fourth, in your own words, commit to penance for your sins. 5.    Fifth, ask for protection against the enemy's assaults. 6.    Sixth, as for protection from worldly accidents, diseases, and attacks from our enemies, in accordance with God's will. *Now the qualifier at the end there, "in accordance with God's will," Website https://www.thedemonologistpodcast.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheDemonologistPodcast GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/TheDemonologistPodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDemonologistPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedemonologistpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedemonologistpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587980725718 Hosted on Acast.
