August 23, 2023#30 Does God Ever "Give you more than you can handle"? Spiritual Clichés with Fr. Larry Swink
Fr. Larry Swink is a priest of the Archdiocese of Washington and co-host of The Deeper Dive podcast.
We discuss your favorite (or more likely, least favorite) spiritual clichés like:
"God helps those who help themselves."

"God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called."

"Cleanliness is next to godliness."

"God never gives you more than you can handle."

"Everything happens for a reason." Etc.
Are these statements true? Do they align with scripture? How can we actually console people who are suffering?
