Listen "Holy Spirit Activate: Discernment of Spirits"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Holy Spirit Activate, Fr. David Dodd, TOR, unpacks the gift of discernment of spirits, as mentioned by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12. This powerful charism enables believers to perceive the spiritual influences behind thoughts, emotions, situations, or people—whether they come from God, the enemy, or our own fallen human nature.Fr. David reflects on the rich tradition of discernment in the Church, especially through the insights of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and draws on personal experiences and examples from Scripture to illustrate how this gift operates in real life. From the "Peter tingle" of Spider-Man to the reality of angels and saints, he invites listeners to grow in spiritual awareness and sensitivity to the invisible yet active presence of both good and evil spirits.This episode is both a practical guide and an invitation to deeper communion with the Holy Spirit. With openness and humility, Fr. David encourages listeners to renounce what does not belong in heaven and to welcome the peace, joy, and love of the Holy Spirit into their daily lives.
