Episode notes
Experiencing God's Presence Varies
- Feeling God's presence continuously is not always the norm even for devoted Christians like Tom Wright.
- Spiritual dryness or darkness is common, requiring persistence in prayer and faith without emotional reassurance.
Respect Your Unique Faith Experience
- Do not judge your faith experience by how others encounter God; people are wired differently.
- Embrace your unique way of connecting, whether emotional, intellectual, or active service.
Love God with All Dimensions
- Christians may predominantly relate to God through heart, mind, soul, or strength and should nurture other dimensions.
- Spiritual growth involves developing all areas of love for God.
