Description

Questions answered this episode:

  1. I've been reflecting on how God uses our wounds to reveal His glory. Could our scars remain in our glorified bodies, like Christ's, as signs of His redemptive love?
  2. I feel emotionally and spiritually neglected in my marriage. How can I love my wife like Christ when she won't respond?
  3. I converted to Catholicism after a painful sexual past and porn addiction. How do I heal and trust God's plan for my future?
