Feeling Spiritually Numb? You’re Not Failing—You’re Being Invited w/Kyle Norman

Unhurried Living | Helping Christians Rest Deeper & Lead Better

Have you ever sat in church, said your prayers, and still felt... nothing? Like your faith was stuck in neutral? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this deeply honest episode, Reverend Dr. Kyle Norman shares how his wife’s cancer diagnosis led him into one of the darkest seasons of his life, shaking the very foundations of his faith. But instead of giving up, he discovered something unexpected: God hadn’t left. In fact, Jesus was closer than ever—meeting him not in strength, but in surrender.

If your spiritual life feels dry, discouraging, or just plain confusing, this conversation is here to remind you: your struggle is not a sign of failure. It may be an invitation to meet Jesus in a deeper, more personal way than you ever have before.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why spiritual numbness doesn’t mean you’ve failed

• How to reframe discouragement as sacred invitation

• Real stories from scripture of people who wrestled with their faith

• What it means to find “holy ground” in moments of disappointment

• One simple but powerful practice to reconnect with God right where you are
