  • Episode 2 - Pursuing Intimacy with God
    Feb 23 2026

    Knowing that God desires intimacy with us is one thing—but how do we actually pursue it? In this episode, we move from theology to practice, exploring the tangible steps we can take to draw closer to God.

    We'll discuss where to start when you've felt distant from God, unpack what spiritual disciplines are and how they work, and address the common barriers that keep us from experiencing closeness with Him. You'll discover how to keep your spiritual practices from becoming empty routines and instead allow them to truly nurture your relationship with God.

    Life doesn't always cooperate with our spiritual plans. We'll talk honestly about what pursuing God looks like in seasons of busyness, suffering, and spiritual dryness—and how intimacy with God extends far beyond formal prayer times into the everyday rhythms of work, family, and daily life.

    If you've ever felt discouraged or stuck in your walk with God, this episode offers hope: God's desire for closeness with you is greater than any obstacle in your way.

    Join us for a practical, grace-filled conversation about the journey toward deeper intimacy with God.

  • Episode 1 - A Theology of Intimacy with God
    Jan 19 2026

    What does it really mean to be close to God? In this foundational episode, we explore the theological heart of intimacy with God—moving beyond religious knowledge to discover what it means to truly know Him personally.

    We'll examine key Scripture passages that reveal God's deep desire for relationship with His people and discuss how core Christian doctrines—the Trinity, the covenant, the incarnation, and the Holy Spirit—shape our understanding of intimacy with the Divine. We'll consider how Christ serves as the bridge to genuine closeness with God and wrestle with the beautiful tension between God's holiness and His nearness.

    This conversation invites all believers to move beyond routine religious activity and into authentic, life-transforming relationship with God. Whether you're seeking to deepen your own walk with God or longing for more than going through the motions, this episode lays the theological groundwork for everything that follows.

    Join us as we rediscover what it means to draw near to the God who first drew near to us.
