Dave has been featured on the EWTN show Franciscan University Presents as an expert on the Catholic theology of spiritual warfare.
|
Dave is a popular presenter at conferences and retreats all over the country. This is a talk he gave at the Power and Purpose Conference at Franciscan University of Steubenville.

"On the topic of spiritual warfare, Dave VanVickle is one of the greatest teachers in the country. I have benefited tremendously from his knowledge and wisdom and highly recommend his talks on spiritual warfare."
Fr. Dave Pivonka TOR, President, Franciscan University of Steubenville. "We have had many excellent speakers come and inspire our parishioners, and it’s impossible to quantify grace, but in my opinion I would say that this more than any others had the most lasting effect on the people who attended. We saw an increase in confessions, daily mass attendance, and many of the attendees reported a renewal of their prayer lives. While the aim of the talk is to dispel the myths surrounding the topic of exorcism, in just an hour Dave covers the topics of grace, sin, the priesthood, conversion, ecclesiology, and liturgy in a way that is engaging, memorable, and totally faithful to the teaching of the Church." Fr. Joe Freedy, Diocese of Pittsburgh "I’ve brought Dave to our parish to give the 'Catholic Truth...' presentation several times, and I’m consistently impressed by his dynamism, grateful to learn something new every time, and moved by the power and glory of our good God. Dave has a gift for drawing listeners into a difficult topic and pointing them to Christ. It serves as an excellent jumping off point for all kinds of evangelization and threshold conversations.In a cultural climate obsessed with all things preternatural, Dave’s presentation 'The Catholic Truth...' is both timely and draws a crowd beyond your regular event attendees. It is an excellent avenue for evangelization as he clarifies common misconceptions, heavily emphasizes the necessity for prayer and participation in the sacramental life, and proclaims boldly that Jesus Christ reigns over the evils of this world." Erin Stuvek, Director of Evangelization, Holy Trinity Parish, Robinson Township, PA |
"Dave VanVickle is a layman who is immensely respected in the world of exorcism. He has been an assistant at exorcisms for decades and is acknowledged throughout North America as an expert."
Fr. Carlos Martins, CC, Director, Treasures of the Church Exhibit; Exorcist "No one communicates and comprehends spiritual warfare more than David VanVickle. Between his years spent in evangelization and pro-life work to his years accompanying priests in exorcism ministry, this man is a tour de force in conquering the darkness with the light of Christ crucified." Michael Gormley, Director of Evangelization, St. Anthony of Padua Church, Woodlands TX "Dave VanVickle gave us an excellent presentation on the Catholic truth about angels, demons, ghosts, exorcisms, and hauntings! Since the talk a few weeks ago I’ve noticed more of an openness among parishioners to talk about spiritual warfare. I’m grateful to Dave for his work in explaining this aspect of our faith, especially because it helps us as the Church Militant to make way for more of the Holy Spirit in our lives." Fr. Tony Robbins, Pastor, St. Joseph Church, Conway, Arkansas "One of the most successful events hosted in our diocese recently, Dave’s talk on angels, demons, ghosts, and hauntings drew a large crowd of people that would not normally cross the doorsteps of our churches. His way of weaving the kerygma throughout the very interesting topic appealed to 'modern ears' and left the crowd asking for more. Rarely do we receive phone calls and emails asking that we schedule an event again. After his talk, we received messages from all corners of the diocese asking that Dave return! He sparked curiosity. He sparked renewal. He sparked conversations centered around Jesus Christ and the truth of the Catholic Church. Dave has been a blessing for our diocese as he shares his gift for igniting faith in others." Annie Sarlo, Secretary of Catholic Life and Evangelization, Diocese of Allentown, PA |
