You know what God's Word says about you - but somewhere between your head and your heart, something gets lost.

Welcome to If I Were the Devil: The War on Love — a podcast for Christian men and women navigating the real, often messy intersection of faith, inner healing, and relationships. Whether you're carrying wounds from relationship betrayal, battling shame and lies about yourself, or simply wondering why knowing the truth still doesn't make you feel free - you're in the right place.

And you're not crazy for feeling that gap. There's actually a reason for it.

I'm Danielle (I go by Dani) Lew therapist, certified professional coach, and someone who knows this territory from the inside. I met Jesus at 19, fell in love with Him and His love for me as a Father, Savior, God, and Friend. And yet, I still spent years struggling to break free from addictions and step fully into the Identity He called me into!

What I didn't know was the integration between body, mind, and spiritual health and all are important! I didn't learn that at home, in church, or even in Graduate School!

Though personal growth and pursuit of that my mind and nervous system needed to actually heal, not just learn more Scripture. That discovery changed everything. Today, after more than 20 years of sobriety and every form of healing I could get my hands on, I walk daily in genuine freedom — from anxiety, from shame, from waiting for the other shoe to drop — and I actually know and believe I am loved and safe with God.

That freedom is available to you too. And this podcast exists to show you the way there.

Each episode brings together neuroscience, Scripture, and hard-won personal experience to help you heal the wounds that keep you stuck — in your relationship with God, with yourself, and with the people you love most. We cover Christian inner healing, attachment wounds, nervous system healing, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and the very real war the enemy wages on your ability to love and be loved.

No spiritual bypassing. No easy answers. Just truth, tools, and someone who has walked this road walking it with you.

👉 Start with Episode 1 — the topics build on each other, and this journey is better from the beginning.

  • Spiritual Warfare Part 5: How Satan Gets Access

    Spiritual Warfare Part 5: How Satan Gets Access
    2026/06/22
    Happy Monday, friend. We are five episodes deep into the Spiritual Warfare series and I am not slowing down - because there is still SO much to cover on this topic! And the more I read, study, and discuss with others, I feel more and more passion and conviction to share what I am! In this episode, I'm building on the military framework (because THIS IS WAR!) we've been working through and getting into two powerful strategic concepts: the indirect approach and interior lines. In military strategy, the indirect approach means attacking where the enemy least expects it - dislocating before engaging. In the spiritual realm? That looks like division through offense, mixing truth with error, and the slow creep of compromise through comfort and distraction. Interior lines is where it gets really personal. A military force on interior lines can shift troops faster than a surrounding enemy. Here's the spiritual reality: Satan is already the prince of the power of the air. He doesn't need to breach your walls from outside when the door is already cracked from within. That's what we're talking about today. We also walk through four ways deception operates as the enemy's primary weapon: Misidentifying the enemy - turning on one another instead of recognizing the real threatCounterfeit wisdom - doubt dressed as intellectual honesty, religious activity substituted for intimacy with GodCounterfeit peace - spiritual numbness that feels like rest, busyness that feels like purposeThe Operation Fortitude Effect — smoke and mirrors that get you defending the wrong position, burning your own energy And then I'm going to call out some things happening in our culture right now that I believe are a direct fulfillment of what Deuteronomy 18 warned us about — and what Paul saw happening in the early church. Tarot cards at Target, horoscopes in Christian conversation, sage practices being normalized - none of this happened by accident. This is not about fear. This is about discernment. The enemy doesn't look like the enemy. He masquerades as light — and if we believe Scripture, we have to take that seriously. I also share from Job 1, one of the most clarifying passages in all of Scripture for understanding how spiritual access and protection work - and what Job's practice of covering his family spiritually looked like. Coming up next: I'm sitting down with my friend Katherine, who was deeply involved in New Age practices before she came to Christ. Her story and insight are going to bring so much of what we've been building to life. You will not want to miss it. As always, go straight to the Lord, go straight to your Bible. I don't want to be one more voice you follow blindly. I want to point you to the One who is the way, the truth, and the life. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode All references are NIV unless otherwise noted. Anchor Verse Ephesians 6:12 — For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. The Greatest Commandment Matthew 22:37–38 — Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. Deception & Masquerade 2 Corinthians 11:1–3 — I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy... But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.2 Corinthians 11:12–15 — For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.John 8:44 — He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Counterfeit Wisdom & Lukewarm Faith 2 Timothy 3:5 — Having a form of godliness but denying its power.Revelation 3:17 — You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.Revelation 12:10 — ...the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night... Do Not Adopt the Practices of Other Nations Deuteronomy 18:9–12 — When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord. Acts 19 — Power in the Name of Jesus Acts 19:11–12 — God was performing extraordinary miracles through Paul's hands, so that even handkerchiefs ...

  • Wolves in the Church: Spiritual Warfare at the Operational Level

    Wolves in the Church: Spiritual Warfare at the Operational Level
    2026/06/15

    Wolves in the Church: Spiritual Warfare at the Operational Level | War on Love Podcast

    This week we're continuing our spiritual warfare series -and this episode might step on some toes. I'm going there anyway, because truth spoken in love is still love.

    Last week we looked at the anatomy of spiritual war. This week we're zooming in on the operational level - how Satan works within nations, cultures, and systems, and specifically how his strategies show up inside the church.

    If I were the enemy, the church is exactly where I'd plant my moles.

    In this episode, I cover:

    • The three levels of spiritual warfare - strategic, operational, and tactical - and why the operational level matters so much for believers today
    • War Strategy #1: The Mole - false brothers planted within the church to steal freedom, create confusion, and lead people astray (Matthew 7:15, Galatians 2:4)
    • War Strategy #2: Divide and Conquer - how disunity within the church (and within ourselves) dismantles our shared mission and keeps us from love
    • The slippery slope of intermingling ungodly practices with Christian faith - and why I personally draw the lines where I do
    • How to tell the wolf from the sheep when both sides are convinced they're right
    • Why "just read the Bible" is sometimes used as a weapon, not wisdom
    • The danger of isolation - and why God said even before the fall, "It is not good for man to be alone"
    • Why Paul publicly called out deception in the early church - and why we still need to do that today

    Scriptures referenced:

    • Matthew 22:37-38
    • John 10:10
    • Isaiah 14:14
    • 2 Corinthians 4:4
    • Romans 12:2
    • 1 Kings 11:1-4
    • Colossians 2:4, 8, 16-18, 20
    • Galatians 2:4, 11 / Galatians 3:1
    • Ephesians 2

    Next week: We move into the tactical level - how the enemy comes after us individually through deception, identity confusion, temptation, accusation, discouragement, and fear. Don't miss it.

    If this episode blessed you, share it with someone who needs it. And if you've been bound by religion, law, or false doctrine - I'm praying this is the episode that starts breaking that off of you. In Jesus' name.

  • Spiritual Warfare: Your Enemy, His Weapons & the Battleground

    Spiritual Warfare: Your Enemy, His Weapons & the Battleground
    2026/06/08

    You were never meant to fight this war blindly.

    If life has felt like an unrelenting series of attacks - the persistent shame, the fear that hits out of nowhere, the bitterness that won't lift, the lies that somehow feel like truth - there's a reason. You're in a war that started long before you were born, and the enemy is counting on you not knowing the rules of engagement.

    In this episode, I break down spiritual warfare the same way a military strategist breaks down a battle. Because the truth is, the enemy's tactics aren't new, they aren't creative, and they aren't hidden. Once you can name his weapons and recognize his fingerprints, you stop fighting blind — and you start fighting from the authority you've already been given in Christ.

    This is Part 1 of my Spiritual Warfare series: Understanding the War.

    What You'll Discover:

    • Why the greatest commandment — to love — makes you a target, and why the enemy works to keep you from loving fully
    • The two opponents, the origin of the conflict, and how this battle began before creation
    • The enemy's actual weapons: lies, accusation, shame, fear, and division — and why he's "not that creative"
    • How his primary strategy against believers is erosion, not brute force
    • The rules of engagement — why Satan operates on a leash God still holds
    • The warning signs of spiritual attack on a personal, cultural, and global level
    • Why studying Scripture is intelligence-gathering, not just comfort
    • The hierarchy of power, and why knowing your rank is not the same as using your weapons
    • Why authority flows from relationship with Christ, not formula or box-checking (the sons of Sceva, Acts 19)
    • The real battleground: your mind — and how to take every thought captive

    Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 22:37-38 · 1 Peter 5:8 · Ephesians 6:12 · John 8:44 · Isaiah 54:17 · 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 · Isaiah 14:12-13 · Revelation 12:7,17 · 2 Corinthians 2:11 · Job 1:12 · 1 Corinthians 10:13 · Matthew 4:1 · Ephesians 4:26-27 · 2 Corinthians 11:14 · Ephesians 1:20-21 · Ephesians 2:6 · Colossians 2:10 · Luke 10:19 · 2 Timothy 1:7 · Matthew 18:18 · Acts 19:13 · Romans 12:2 · Proverbs 4:23

    Remember this: You have a real enemy with a real strategy. His weapons are lies, accusation, shame, and the spirit of fear. This conflict predates you — but you're in it. There are rules, God holds the leash, and we already know who wins. The battle is mostly waged in your mind. So renew it.

    Part 2 drops next week, where we'll tackle this war from a different angle.

    If this episode challenged or encouraged you, would you share it with someone who needs it — and leave a quick review so it can reach the people looking for exactly this?
