Welcome to Episode 164 of the Being Human Podcast: Finding Peace Beyond Understanding: Trusting God's Love Amidst Church Challenges
There is a growing discontent in the Church at present, and there is a need to recalibrate and renew our relationship with God. In this episode, Dr. Greg explores the historical roots of why our Church seems to lack solid formation on human sexuality and how this impacts our society today. He also talks about the emotional divide among priests and bishops in the church hierarchy. He emphasizes how we are all called to reintegrate our faith and trust, and to go deeper in our relationship with God so we can keep ourselves grounded in the Father's love during these times of confusion and division.
Discussed in the Episode:
