Do you reach for your phone the moment silence feels uncomfortable? In this episode, Fr Patrick Cahill opens up why silence can feel so unsettling — because it magnifies whatever is already in your heart. Drawing on Psalm 18 and the experience of grief, loneliness, and fear, he makes a surprising case: God doesn't want to meet you only in your joy. He wants to meet you in your darkest place. And if you let him in there, you'll have a friendship with him that will never let you down.
