Facing Aridity and Darkness with Claire Dwyer – This is episode 4 of 4 with Claire Dwyer, author of This Present Paradise on Divine Intimacy Radio!
Feelings are, in the end, just feelings. They are a gift, but they cannot last—they must give way in order for us to grow in the holy virtue of faith. Faith is an entirely free gift of God–but it is something to be asked for, assented to, nourished, and practiced. Or else we can find ourselves “shipwrecked.” (I Timothy 1:19) Claire Dwyer continues her series.
