Many people assume that when they surrender to God, peace and clarity will immediately follow. But often the opposite happens.. prayer feels quiet, Scripture feels flat and God feels silent.

So what does that actually mean?

In this episode we talk about spiritual dryness, why God sometimes removes emotional consolation and the deeper question silence exposes in our faith: Do we love God.. or do we love how God makes us feel?

Looking at the Cross, Christ’s cry of desolation in Matthew 27:46 and the quiet fidelity of Mary at the foot of the Cross, we explore why silence is not abandonment but often part of spiritual maturity.

If your prayer life feels quiet right now, this conversation is for you.

This episode is part of the Lenten series: 40 Days at the Foot of the Cross, where we walk step-by-step through the interior journey of Lent.
