How to Find Peace at the Foot of the Cross | Ignatian Discernment

Feeling "better" doesn't always mean you've found God's will. Often, the enemy mimics peace to stop our spiritual growth, leading us toward "relief" (the removal of pressure) rather than true "Peace" (the tranquility of order).

In today's episode, we dive deep into the Ignatian tools for discernment. Whether you are facing a career change, a relationship struggle, or a vocational question, these tests will help you stay grounded in Christ even when the "cross" appears.

In this video, we cover:
• The Cross Test: Does your peace remain even when things get difficult?
• The Depth Test: Is your peace rooted beneath your emotions or just on the surface?
• The Truth Test: Are you being honest about all the facts, or just justifying avoidance?
 • The Detachment Test: Are you a “reed blowing in the wind,” or are you clinging to one outcome?
• The Time Test: Why you should never make a major decision during an emotional swing.
• Reflection Question: “Does this decision move me toward God, or merely away from discomfort?”
