About this episode

Fr. Chad Ripperger discusses his journey to becoming an exorcist and the significance of prayer in spiritual battles.

Fr. Chad Ripperger opens up about his personal journey, from his devout Catholic upbringing and early fascination with science and flight, to the moment he realized his call to the priesthood mid-air in a rented plane. He traces the path that ultimately led him into the world of exorcism—a role he never sought, but couldn’t escape, and shares startling insights into how exorcisms have changed over time. This conversation will serve as a timely reminder for every Catholic of the importance of living a life rooted in prayer and fighting the good fight in the spiritual battle for our souls.
