Prayer Request:
I’m preaching and leading praise at a retreat next week, and mighty nervous. We’re also trying an acoustic experiment for the praise.
Also for the attending students (and leaders): that they would be set free by Christ to joyfully serve.
Would totally appreciate your prayers.
Love you guys.
How To Lose God In Ten Days
A super-long mega-post on the theology of the Spiritual Crash.
We all know the spiritual crash: a week (or ten days) after a retreat, a revival, or a conference, you plunge into total self-loathing despair. Whatever high you felt during that song, whatever commitments you made at the altar, whatever subpoints you learned from the life of David — it’s like someone yanked them from your soul and pulled the heart out with it. You’re jogging all dandy in the sun and suddenly fall into a manhole of shame.
You know what I’m going to say next: that it doesn’t have to be that way. Except it really doesn’t. Here are five reasons why we experience spiritual crash and how we can not only prevent them, but re-define the “high.” It’s not a quick fix or a comprehensive band-aid, but you’ll know what to expect and where to start.
