“Peace Is What Demons Hate Most” - Dr. Dan Schneider - EP 53
January 6, 2026
Dr. Dan Schneider is a Catholic demonologist, author, and consultant who has worked for over a decade alongside ordained exorcists within diocesan authority structures. He is best known for developing a structured, discipline-based approach to spiritual liberation, emphasising order, personal responsibility, and cooperation with grace rather than sensationalism.
He has worked closely with Fr. Chad Ripperger, one of the most prominent Catholic exorcists in the United States, and has assisted priests and dioceses internationally with training, consultation, and case evaluation.
This episode strips away fantasy and exposes the real mechanics of spiritual warfare. From chaos and discipline to confession and conversion, this conversation challenges the listener to stop outsourcing responsibility and start confronting the patterns that quietly shape their life.
We discuss:
- Why order dismantles chaos.
- How discipline frees the soul.
- Why resistance often appears right before alignment.
- The truth about possession, fear, and self-liberation.
If you’ve felt resistance the moment you tried to change, this episode explains why.
