#99 Loving Without Consolation: Kevin Wells on Spiritual Warfare, Marriage, and Redemptive Suffering
Episode description
Have you ever cried out to God and been met with silence? Have you prayed and fasted, only to feel like things are getting worse instead of better?
In this Holy Week episode of The Persistence in Prayer Podcast, Catholic speaker and author Kevin Wells joins Kylie to share a raw and deeply moving testimony of marriage, addiction, spiritual warfare, and the power of redemptive suffering. Through the lens of his powerful book The Hermit: The Priest Who Saved a Soul, a Marriage, and a Family, Kevin reveals how God's grace entered the darkest corners of his home through contemplative prayer, the intercession of Our Lady, and the heroic holiness of a priest who refused to walk away.
Together, they explore:
- What it means to love when there are no consolations
- How to remain faithful in the spiritual desert
- The sacred role of Catholic priests as spiritual fathers
- The quiet strength of Mary at the foot of the Cross
- Why contemplative prayer changes everything
- And the hidden battle for souls unfolding in every family
If you or someone you love has faced despair, addiction, or the ache of unanswered prayer — this episode will renew your hope. A must-listen for Holy Week.
