What happens when zeal moves faster than spiritual maturity?
In this episode of The Devil in the Details, Dan and Jordan discuss the growing feeling of “influencer fatigue” in Catholic media: the trend of new converts, reverts, commentators, and public personalities being elevated too quickly before they have the prayer life, accountability, formation, and humility needed to sustain that platform.
From celebrity conversions to Catholic social media scandals, this conversation examines how the enemy can use genuine zeal, real gifts, and even orthodox teaching as a kind of spiritual judo, turning momentum against the soul.
Together, they discuss:
Why new converts and reverts are especially vulnerable to premature public platforms
The danger of making Catholic media about personality instead of Christ
Why daily mental prayer and spiritual direction are non-negotiable
How ambition can disguise itself as zeal
The need for accountability, humility, and silence before teaching
Why followers should be cautious about quickly elevating new Catholic voices
How the devil can use even good desires to pull souls off course
This is not a call to cynicism or gatekeeping. It is a call to discernment, humility, and prayer.
