Can the devil really influence human actions? Did evil forces play a role in the crucifixion? And what does the Catholic Church actually teach about spiritual warfare, temptation, and free will?
Through Scripture, the Catechism, and reflections on figures like Judas, Peter, and the Pharisees, we unpack how sin, temptation, and grace interact in the story of salvation.
đź’ˇ Key themes in this video:
The difference between temptation and possession
Why the devil cannot “make” us sin
The role of free will in the Passion of Christ
How God brings good out of evil
What Good Friday means for your personal struggles
This conversation ultimately points to hope: no matter the darkness, Christ has already won the victory.
