Episode Summary
What happens when you come off the high of a faith milestone and suddenly feel... nothing? The fire that was burning so bright just weeks ago feels like a wet log. You know God is there. You just don't feel Him the way you used to.
In this episode of A Catholic Journey, recorded from a car in a parking lot during a 45-minute wait, Jessica gets real about the dry season she's been walking through after completing her confirmation. The excitement is gone. The routine is gone. And the enemy is using the silence to creep in.
This one is honest, unfiltered, and something a lot of us need to hear — especially if you've ever wondered why faith can feel like work even when you love God.
