Facing Spiritual Battles as a Team

Hosts: Sandra and Paul

Topic: It has been way too long since our last recording! In that time, we have faced quite a storm of spiritual battles and we realized there was quite a lot we learned about facing such season - as a team. It’s one thing to go through tough times alone, but having someone else to accompany you on that journey, especially a loved one, definitely takes patience, perseverance, and A LOT of prayer. This episode we go over briefly our take on the source of our spiritual trials, then dive into a reflection of the practical steps each of us takes to help the other in our tough times. Paul also shares a little about what his trial was about (relating to the Eucharist). May we continue praying for each other as we walk this earthly journey, especially for the courage to seek the Lord and Our Blessed Mother to provide us with the strength and patience we sometimes don’t have in our trials, so we can continuously grow stronger in our faith and ever more resemble who God created us to be.
