What If Knowing God Is More Simple Than We Think?- Episode 93

What If Knowing God Is More Simple Than We Think?- Episode 93

Our people need us, our to-do lists get long, the demands get loud, and our phones are insanely distracting. Somewhere in all that noise, we forget to just be with God. Join me and some of my favorite guests (and yours!) as we talk about getting to know God and spending time with Him through three foundational practices: scripture, silence and solitude, and prayer. These practices are not easy, but they are simple, and they connect us straight to the heart of God.
