Listen Later

This is an interview I recorded 4 years ago, but the content was so good I had to put it out there!!

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Why would a loving God allow us to be poor, to struggle, or to feel abandoned?


In this powerful episode of Curiously Catholic, Fr. Mark-Mary of Ascension Presents opens up about the often misunderstood realities of Godโ€™s providence and spiritual poverty. What does it really mean to trust God when everything is falling apart? What if poverty โ€” material or spiritual โ€” is actually part of God's loving plan?


We dive into:

The hidden grace in our dependence

How poverty can lead to deeper faith

Real stories from religious life and ministry

The surprising freedom in surrendering control


Whether you're in a season of lack, uncertainty, or simply wrestling with big questions about God's plan โ€” this conversation is for you.
