In this video, Fr. Philip Hall shares profound insights on what a spiritual experience entails, shedding light on the belief that God doesn't micromanage us but embraces us as His own. Fr. Philip beautifully describes spiritual experiences as those first hesitant, wobbly steps we take, resembling a process of falling and getting up, persistently moving forward. Much like learning to walk, our spiritual legs strengthen through this journey, guiding us towards an upright spiritual path leading to Christ.
This is a sermon recorded on August 13th, 2023 at the All Saints of Lincolnshire Orthodox Christian Church, Lincoln, England.
