I’ve tried just about every spiritual practice that promises to bring me closer to God—praying longer, journaling harder, fasting more. But more often than not, when I fast, I don’t end up enlightened; I just end up hungry. The stomach growls, the prayers echo, and the heavens feel as silent as ever. Maybe you’ve been there too: doing all the “right” things, hoping for a spark of divine presence, and wondering if you’re the only one still waiting for something real. Join us this week at BCC as we talk honestly about what to do when faith feels unanswered. And what it means when we give God our best effort and all we seem to get back is quiet. Together, we’ll explore how silence might not mean absence, but opportunity—and may actually be exactly what we need.
