Segment 2 & 3 – When Your Days Are Dark, God Is Still Good: Biblical Advice to Help You Trust in Difficult Times
“It’s easy to see the work of God’s hands when things are going right—a promotion, a new baby, or a financial windfall. But what about when things go wrong? How could God possibly make good out of illness, death, or betrayal?”  Gary Zimak has a new book that addresses this topic.  Gary joins us to discuss his latest book, his Give Up Worry For Lent speaking tour, and his upcoming Advent book and parish missions.

Gary Zimak’s website is Following the Truth. He is the author of books such as “Stop Worrying and Start Living,” “Listen to Your Blessed Mother,” and “Give Up Worry for Lent!” He is a frequent speaker at parishes and conferences across the country and is recognized as the leading Catholic speaker on the topic of overcoming anxiety.

“Season 3 of my EWTN travel series “Explore with the Miracle Hunter” (Saturdays 5pm CT) are now debuting this month. These programs were filmed when I traveled to France in 2022 – these churches in the mountains were some of the most amazing places I have ever been to. More episodes are on the way!”
