Built Between Knowing God & Knowing About Him

In this episode of Built Between, Lily is joined by Dr. Lynne for a powerful, truth-filled conversation on what it actually means to walk with God. They talk about the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him - and how modern Christianity can sometimes drift into content consumption instead of real relationship. Dr. Lynne unpacks the reality that following Christ is costly, not just a highlight reel of blessings, and challenges listeners to ask themselves a deeper question: Is God’s presence enough? Together, they dive into the importance of getting back to the basics - reading the Word daily, becoming “modern-day Bereans,” and not relying solely on others to interpret Scripture for you. They also discuss what it looks like to interrogate your heart, check your motives, and allow God to correct and discipline you out of love - not condemnation. This episode is a reminder that Christianity isn’t about convenience or comfort… it’s about transformation, obedience, and truly knowing the Lord for yourself. Because at the end of the day - it’s not about how much you’ve heard… it’s about whether you actually know Him. Is His presence enough for you?
