  • The THREE Ways to Grow in Holiness as a Catholic

    The THREE Ways to Grow in Holiness as a Catholic
    2026/02/02

    What does it really mean to grow in holiness — and is there a clear, time-tested path for doing so as a Catholic today?


    In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Jack Garno sits down with Director of Theology Dr. David Hajduk for a deep dive into the Three Ways of the Spiritual Life — an ancient Catholic framework taught by the saints that explains how souls actually grow in holiness. Drawing from Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas, and centuries of Catholic spiritual theology, this conversation explores what conversion really requires, why humility is essential, and how grace transforms us over time.


    Dr. Hajduk explains the Purgative Way, Illuminative Way, and Unitive Way, showing how each stage builds upon a deeper conversion of heart. The discussion covers the role of confession, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and mental prayer, as well as the difficult but necessary experiences known as the dark nights of the soul — moments when God seems absent but is actually drawing the soul closer.


    This episode offers both clarity and hope for Catholics seeking real spiritual growth in 2026, reminding us that holiness is not reserved for a few saints, but is the universal call of every Christian — made possible by grace and our cooperation with it.


    Whether you feel stuck, discouraged, or simply hungry for deeper union with God, this conversation provides a faithful roadmap for the journey.

  • How to Recognize Spiritual Warfare (And How to Combat It)

    How to Recognize Spiritual Warfare (And How to Combat It)
    2026/01/26

    Spiritual warfare is real — but it’s often misunderstood.


    In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Alanis and Matt delve into what spiritual warfare truly entails in everyday Catholic life. From anxiety and distraction to temptation, fear, and isolation, this conversation sheds light on how the enemy works subtly — and how Christ has already given us everything we need to overcome.


    Together, we break down:

    • The three types of spiritual warfare (oppression, obsession, possession)
    • Why Hollywood gets demons and exorcism wrong
    • How spiritual attacks often increase when you’re walking in God’s will
    • The connection between mental health, anxiety, and spiritual warfare
    • Why the devil thrives on distraction, isolation, and fear
    • The power of Scripture, fasting, order, silence, and the sacraments
    • Why community is one of the strongest weapons against the enemy
    • How hope, grace, and childlike dependence on God lead to victory


    This is not a fear-based conversation. It’s a Catholic, Christ-centered discussion rooted in Scripture, Church teaching, and lived experience — meant to bring clarity, peace, and hope.


    If you’ve ever wondered:


    • Am I under spiritual attack?
    • Why do anxiety and temptation feel so intense?
    • How do I fight spiritual battles as a Catholic?

    — this episode is for you.


    📿 “The battle belongs to the Lord.”


    Hope doesn’t disappoint.

    Jesse Romero Explains the Power of Prayer in Spiritual Battles
    2026/01/19

    In this episode, acclaimed Catholic author and radio host Jesse Romero joins our Executive Director, Mario Costabile, to discuss his book Prayer as a Weapon and the critical role prayer plays in spiritual warfare. Drawing from Scripture, Tradition, and his own experiences, Romero shares practical insights for modern Catholics—especially men—on how to strengthen their spiritual armor and defend against the forces of evil.


    We cover the types of prayer, the power of the St. Michael Prayer, the Rosary, and how specificity and humility can amplify prayer’s effectiveness. Jesse also explains why a return to personal prayer is essential not just for individual spiritual growth, but for making an impact on the wider culture.


    Whether you’re looking to deepen your prayer life, understand spiritual warfare, or become a joyful soldier for Christ, this conversation provides guidance, encouragement, and real-life examples of prayer’s transformative power.
