AfterMass

Why You're Spiritually Stuck


Listen Later

You want to be devout. You want to be on fire for God. But no matter how hard you try, praying more, adding devotionals, going to daily Mass.. you still feel stuck. Like something is holding you back from actually changing.

This episode is about why and how Confession might be the missing piece.


You cannot live a devout Catholic life while dragging around unrepented sin.Confession isn’t just a nice tradition, it’s the sacrament that breaks cycles, shatters shame, and re-ignites your pursuit of holiness.


Confession isn’t a burden, it’s a weapon.
It’s not a guilt trip, it’s grace in action.

You’ll hear real stories, raw struggles, and practical tools that will help you not just go to Confession, but use it like the spiritual nuke it is.

If you’re tired of feeling lukewarm, tired of dragging chains you were never meant to carry.. if you’re serious about holiness but just feel stuck.. this episode is for you.


🎙 Heard in the ConfessionalThis episode also features real questions from listeners like you. We talk about:

  • Navigating Confession while using NFP in a hard marriage

  • How to stay devout at college when you feel isolated

  • What to do when you’ve returned to the Church, and your relationship is falling apart

  • And why you’re not “behind” if you’re just now learning the faith

Whether you’re brand new to the faith, returning after years away, or just trying to live this Catholic life more devoutly, this episode is your sign to go to Confession. Like, for real.

You don’t have to carry this anymore.You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to get honest.You don’t need another motivational quote. You need a sacrament. Don’t skip this one. This episode could be the one that sets you free.
