The Night is Normal with Dr. Alicia Britt Chole

What Do We Do In Times of Disillusionment?

When in seasons of pain or when we’ve lost things we thought we were sure of, it can feel as though we’ve been plunged into spiritual darkness. Today, a powerful talk with author and mentor, Dr. Alicia Britt Chole about how even though these times are scary and painful, the night is actually a normal part of God’s plan to help us grow.

I’ve learned so much from Dr. Chole, and I’m grateful to have her spend this time with us today. You’ll be blessed and encouraged by her and her powerful new book, The Night is Normal: A Guide Through Spiritual Pain. This book releases on July 18, but there are incredible pre-order bonuses available on Dr. Chole’s website!
