About this episode

“Have you ever cried out to God in a time of distress, but felt nothing in return?”


John Mark continues his discussion on the dark night of the soul, focusing on the two types of “dark nights” that are written about by St. John and St. Teresa in the 16th century. In it, he encourages us to continue to press into community and into God if we find ourselves in a dark night.


Key Scripture Passage: Psalm 77
