A Christian Individuation - Part 3 - Losing Faith & Finding Faith Again and Again
Channel: Carl Jung Depth Psychology Reading Group
Date: 2019-10-14

This is the 3rd in our miniseries on Nancy Pfaff's Christian Individuation.  We think you will find it very powerful. Nancy has experienced many trials and experiences through her life, even "lost her Faith," but God kept coming through in numinous ways to help her in her hour of need.
