253. Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue: Romantic Love and Divine Revelation: When Trust Becomes a Spiritual Calling
Manage episode 514031762 series 2821006
When can love—and even pain—become a form of revelation?
In this powerful dialogue, Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal trace the mysterious link between romantic love, moral conscience, and divine communication. Abigail shares two defining experiences of spiritual discernment: a moral act that cost her a lifelong family bond, and the unexpected moment she realized she was falling in love. Both called for the same inner movement—trusting what had her name on it.
Jerry reflects on his own “Why me?” experience of revelation, exploring how trust bridges the human and divine, and how moral courage and love alike can summon the soul toward its destiny. Together, they ask: How do we recognize the voice of God when it speaks through ordinary life? When is trust not blind, but a sacred form of clarity?
Drawing on philosophy and lived experience—from Aristotle and Husserl to the dream world of conscience—Jerry and Abigail reveal that divine communication doesn’t always arrive in thunder. Sometimes, it whispers through the courage to act, or the surrender to love.
This episode invites you into a deeply human and spiritual conversation—where reason and revelation meet the heart.
