Corey and Fr. Andy join me to talk St. Michael the Archangel, spiritual warfare (yes, it’s real), and why Lent is basically spiritual boot camp.

And how exactly do prayer, fasting, and confession protect us from spiritual attacks? If you’ve ever rushed through the St. Michael Prayer or thought Lent was just about giving up chocolate - this one’s for you. 🛡️ Walking With
