Spiritual Dryness

from Grace in the Shadows Hosted by Dr. Marla and Dr. Jonathan Behler

Send us Fan Mail Ever wondered how the human body can be so fascinating and mysterious at the same time? Did you know that we completely regenerate a new skeleton every 10 years? Join us as we explore the wonders of the human body, including the bizarre phenomenon of rubbing garlic on your feet and tasting it in your mouth within 30 minutes! But more importantly, we'll tackle the challenge of feeling distant from God and explore various reasons why this can happen. Throughout this episode, we'll remind ourselves that nothing can separate us from God's love, even when we try to hide from Him. We'll discuss biblical examples, like Adam and Eve and Peter, showing that Jesus always comes back for us despite our mistakes. Learn how a lack of spiritual discipline and unresolved doubts can create distance from God - and how God uses these doubts to strengthen our faith. Finally, we analyze the story of Job, his unwavering faith in God amid extreme loss, and the spiritual dryness that can test our faith. We'll also dive into King Solomon's wisdom and close connection with God, and discuss the struggles long-time Christians face in maintaining their relationship with God. So, join us on this enlightening journey as we navigate the complexities of our relationship with God, finding comfort in His love and grace.
