Who do you turn to when you're struggling spiritually?In this episode of Mugs & Mercy, we share three saints who have personally encouraged us in seasons of doubt, temptation, discouragement, and spiritual growth: St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia, and St. George the Great Martyr. We explore how their lives, writings, and examples have shaped our own journeys and why these saints continue to inspire Christians today.From St. Gregory's deep reflections on the soul's journey toward God, to St. Porphyrios' message of healing through love in Wounded by Love, to St. George's unwavering courage and faithfulness, we discuss the unique ways these saints speak to different spiritual struggles.Music by @nazozakkak Newsletter/Book Club Signup: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuhWFSsc8lVIVjAVwX8-Eok_MvPLey5bniPdhx_ER4TuISbA/viewform?usp=header
