Episode notes
INSIGHT

Value of Uncontrollable Spiritual Moments

  • Spiritual experiences cannot be controlled or manufactured; they must "catch hold" of us from outside ourselves.
  • This uncontrollable nature makes these experiences deeply meaningful and not just products we plug into.
INSIGHT

Faith Distance Stems from Missing Connection

  • People often feel distant from faith because they haven't learned how to "catch hold" of soul-satisfying gospel living.
  • Intellectual doubts are secondary to the lack of fulfilling spiritual experiences that keep faith alive.
ADVICE

Use Visual Prayer and Memories

  • Pray and rehearse memories that brought you closer to Jesus; welcome divine images into your mind.
  • Make prayer and scripture study visual and sensory, picturing biblical scenes to deepen connection.
