When You Feel Numb

CCEF
About this episode
What do we do when we don't seem to feel much emotion? How can we understand this experience, and what is God's call to us in it? Listen as Alasdair Groves talks about the experience of numb emotions.
 
"Each one of us will face different struggles, but for each of us, there's an opportunity to walk toward the Lord and walk toward each other. If you experience a lack of emotion, that in and of itself is always an opportunity to speak to the Lord and to speak to others."
