Discernment can be intimidating: how do I know God's voice? What happens when I face difficulty? What's being influenced by God and what's being influenced by Satan on this path?

In this episode, Fr. Spitzer shares the story of his path to the priesthood, from the early influences that shaped his faith to the moments of doubt and spiritual struggle that challenged it. Together, we explore the highs and lows of discernment, the role of spiritual direction, and the often-overlooked fear that comes with discerning the movements of consolation and desolation.
