In "A Lifting Up for the Downcast," William Bridge addresses one of the heaviest burdens a believer can bear—the feeling of spiritual desertion. Though it may seem as if God is distant, His love remains unchanged, and His promises are always true. Bridge reminds us that spiritual dryness is often a test of faith, teaching us to walk by trust rather than feelings. Even when God seems far away, His covenant is unbroken. This episode encourages you to cling to His Word, reject the lies of your emotions, and find peace in His unshakable presence.
