Episode notes
Darkness Can Mean Divine Proximity
- God often withdraws consolations so we grow in trust; absence can be proximity to Christ's hidden work.
- The cross is mysterious: walking in fog requires one-step obedience, not full clarity.
Protect The Marital Bond
- Prioritize loving your spouse above all; the best thing you do for your children is love your spouse well.
- Satan attacks marriages by dividing spouses and isolating family units, so protect unity actively.
Enlist Spiritual Support
- Build a small circle of trusted, prayerful friends to carry you during spiritual battles.
- Let holy friends join your fight; some battles require troops, prayer, and fasting.
