Episode Ep. 47- Becky L. McCoy | When You're Too Weary For the Faith You've Known

0:00 57:44

What happens when grief, loss, or sheer weariness collide with the faith you’ve always known?

In this Hope Huddle, we sit down with Becky McCoy, writer, retreat leader, spiritual director, and author of In the Company of the Weary: Ten Gentle Spiritual Practices for Your Tired Soul.

After devastating loss rocked her world, followed by depression, anxiety, and chronic illness, Becky entered a wilderness that began to undo the rigid, rational faith she had known. In that wilderness, she began discovering a more experiential knowing of God and a gentler way of approaching Scripture and spiritual practices.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What happens when suffering challenges the faith you’ve always known • Moving from knowing about God to experiencing His presence • What it means to make eye contact with suffering • Approaching Scripture from a new place • Contemplative practices that create space for God in seasons of weariness • Giving ourselves permission to encounter God without striving

For the woman who is grieving, exhausted, questioning, or simply doesn’t have the energy for faith as usual, this conversation is an invitation to discover that God is still present in the wilderness.
