This is an interview I recorded 4 years ago, but the content was so good I had to put it out there!!
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Why would a loving God allow us to be poor, to struggle, or to feel abandoned?
In this powerful episode of Curiously Catholic, Fr. Mark-Mary of Ascension Presents opens up about the often misunderstood realities of Godโ€™s providence and spiritual poverty. What does it really mean to trust God when everything is falling apart? What if poverty โ€” material or spiritual โ€” is actually part of God's loving plan?
We dive into:
The hidden grace in our dependence
How poverty can lead to deeper faith
Real stories from religious life and ministry
The surprising freedom in surrendering control
Whether you're in a season of lack, uncertainty, or simply wrestling with big questions about God's plan โ€” this conversation is for you.
