Talk 1 (Friday Night) | Jesse Romero, “Forged in Prayer: The Weapon Christ Gave His Warriors” (Scripture and Spiritual Combat)
Description:
Prayer is not passive—it is a weapon given by Christ to His disciples for spiritual battle. Drawing from Scripture, this talk reveals how prayer confronts temptation, defeats the enemy, and strengthens men to lead with courage. Discover how the Word of God teaches us to wield prayer as a powerful weapon in the fight for our souls.
Talk 3 (Saturday) | Jesse Romero, “Battle-Tested Prayer: The Weapons of Saints”, (Tradition and the Church’s Spiritual Warfare)
Description:
For centuries the saints have fought spiritual battles using the same weapons handed down through the Church. This talk explores how Catholic Tradition equips men with powerful spiritual practices—from disciplined prayer to Marian devotion—that have stood the test of time. Learn how the wisdom of the saints prepares us for victory in spiritual combat.
