The Devil Studies You... | Ignatian Rule 14 Explained

The devil doesn’t guess. He watches. Learns. Waits. And when he finds your weakest point, he attacks. In this final episode of our Ignatian Discernment series, Dan and Jordan unpack Rule 14 — a chilling but liberating truth: the enemy studies your life like a general preparing to breach a fortress. Your wounds, your past, your patterns — all are potential entry points. But once you know them, you can fight back. This episode gets deeply personal as Dan and Jordan share stories of past trauma, addiction, and relational wounds — and how the enemy used them as open doors. But they also offer hope: practical steps, spiritual disciplines, and encouragement for building a life the enemy can’t conquer. You’ll learn: How demons exploit your wounds and vices Why unresolved trauma becomes spiritual vulnerability The difference between clubs and true Catholic community How to fortify your soul through self-knowledge, mental prayer, and sacramental grace What comes after Rule 14 This is the end of the series — but not the war. Whether you’ve followed from Rule 1 or just discovered this episode, this conversation will help you close the door to the enemy and walk freely in the grace of God. “The devil may be in the details—but God is on the throne.” And for those who have read this far down - Our next series will be on The Devil in The Castle!
