Have you hit a wall in your prayer life? If you feel spiritually dry or stuck, you might assume you're experiencing the famous "dark night of the senses." But what if that prayer brick wall is actually an alarm bell pointing to something much more fundamental?

In this episode, we challenge the popular misdiagnosis of spiritual dryness. We explore how a "prayer brick wall" is often not a sign of spiritual advancement, but a direct consequence of a life where our actions don't match our prayers. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of St. John of the Cross, we uncover the subtle spiritual imperfections—like spiritual gluttony and pride—that can masquerade as holiness and prevent us from truly growing closer to God.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why the feeling of a "prayer brick wall" should be seen as an alarm bell, not a badge of spiritual perfection.
• How to identify key spiritual imperfections, like spiritual pride and gluttony, that St. John of the Cross warns against.
• The critical link between your actions and virtues outside of prayer and the actual quality of your time with God.
• A powerful analogy from human relationships that reveals whether your love for God is based on your terms or His.

If this episode has you wondering what hidden obstacles might be holding you back, the first step is always to return to simple, honest prayer. To help you do just that, I've created a practical tool to help you start fresh tonight. It’s a simple PDF guide to help you find peace and reconnect with God—right where you are.
