Welcome, everybody. This is a U.S. Great Source podcast. I'm Doug Barry along with my very good friend, Father Richard Heilman.

And in the middle tonight is Father Michael Leitner back by popular demand. And we won't tell you who's demanding him, but we wanted to get him back. That was for sure. He's got an amazing beard. And that alone is good reason to have him on the podcast so good to have you back on father

thank you great to be with you again awesome awesome well we're going to break down this uh topic it is a

pretty serious topic and we're talking earlier today you said some things that i just thought

were spot on for the things that are going on in the world and really just good things for all of us

all of us myself included to be really thinking about and really really seeing where we need to tweak things and get involved in this unseen war. And it's ramping up in different ways. We want to be, you know, conduits of God's grace in this world. So we're going to get into that tonight. Before we do, of course, we want to start with prayer. And Father Halman, we always lead that to you. In the name of the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness

and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,

by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits

who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Name of the Father's Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You know, I used to be a DJ in college.

Oh, did you really?

Yeah, yeah. Rock and Rick Halman.

Was that your name? Yeah, I was actually going to seminary while I was doing it. Was it a paid thing? You did you get paid games? No, no, it was like the campus radio station. Oh, okay, okay. P-L-O-R, Loris College out of Dubuque. Awesome. And you had that kind of deep singing voice, don't you? You like to... Well, since my baby, love me. Wow. Elvis is alive. That's right. Looks a little different, but he's alive. That's awesome. Well, thank you for that. And everybody, we want to thank you out there for supporting the U.S. Great Sports podcast. We always like to start off by saying that. We just can't do without you. We're going on five and a half years, and it's a real blessing to be able to share this with you something every week. So thank you so much for your prayers, your encouragement, your comments. And for those of you who support us through the Patreon program, thank you also very much.

Your donations every month that come in through the Patreon program are a powerful way of helping us

get this message out. And again, there's so many important messages. We really do try to find

relevant topics, but also important topics just that are that are timeless and you know

such as the one we're going to be discussing tonight that the diabolical has a plan constantly

working and we need to understand what God has given us to deal with that plan and of course

it changes as the years go by chapters of life and different societies and such but it's still

always seeking that plan of the diabolical to destroy. And we want to be in this fight all the way. So we're going to break all that down. So thank you so much for supporting us in the different ways that y'all do you in our prayers. And of course, tonight again, Father Michael Leitner with us. And Father you and I've been friends for many years. I know you and Father Howland for many, many more years. And it's just, again, really great to have you back on. Well, thanks for being back.
