Faith glitters best in full sun, but I believe that it grows depth in the night.

Because in the light we have this illusion of self-leadership.

I've got this. Thanks God. I've got this. But in the night we have

the realization that we have got to keep leaning, we have got to keep depending, we have got to choose trust.

And so disillusionment, spiritual pain, the night,

to me they're all synonymous of those places where we see less and we feel less and we have the opportunity

to choose trust and grow love. According to today's guest, Dr. Alicia Brit Sholi, though faith shines in the sun,

it grows depth in the dark.

And that's a good thing thing because often there are times when we feel like life is just plain dark

spiritual disappointment can happen and then we can feel so uncertain and ungrounded and like the light of faith has been

overtaken by the dark night of the soul. Well today you are going to learn that the night is not your enemy.

In fact, the night is necessary.

Alicia is going to help you see that spiritual disappointment can be an unexpected friend.

All right, this is going to be so good.
