Now & Then... Again | The Courage to Begin in the Dark: A Journey of Faith and Fatherhood

In this episode of Now & Then ...Again, Wendy VanderWal Martin speaks with Mark Wallace Maguire, author of But First We Must Begin in the Dark, about fatherhood, raising a child with special needs, and wrestling honestly with faith, grief, and suffering. Inspired by Henri Nouwen’s teachings on belovedness, vulnerability, and the wounded healer, Mark shares how his son Andrew and the stories of other fathers have transformed his understanding of love, challenged his assumptions about God, and revealed the power of grace, empathy, and human connection. ___________ Book Discussed: But First, We Must Begin in the Dark: A Father's Journey into Special Needs & Faith ⁠https://a.co/d/01bRzL2v⁠ (US) ⁠https://a.co/d/00OYO1Cp⁠ (CAD) ___________ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: ⁠⁠henrinouwen.org/donate/⁠⁠ * SIGN UP FOR FREE DAILY E-MEDITATIONS:⁠⁠henrinouwen.org/meditation/⁠⁠ * MORE FREE RESOURCES: henrinouwen.org/ * FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: INSTAGRAM: ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/henrinouwensociety/⁠⁠ FACEBOOK: ⁠⁠www.facebook.com/nouwensociety/⁠
