What do you do when God goes quiet? When scripture no longer speaks and prayer echoes back with nothing but silence? In this deeply personal episode, The Quiet Dissident departs from doctrinal exposition, to recount his own wrestle with doubt, divine absence, and the perilous beauty of choosing faith anyway. From spiritual drought to a flood of revelation, this testimony traces a return to the Father, to Christ, and to the Book of Mormon.

If you've known the ache of spiritual dryness or feared that your best days of discipleship are behind you, this episode may challenge you. But hopefully, it will comfort you also. It points us not to easy answers, but to an enduring truth: that the Lord does not forsake His covenant people. And even in our ignorance, even in our peasantry, He still calls us back.
