EP#368: Learning to Notice God When He Feels Far - God Is Already Here

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2051624/fan_mail/new] From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about growing aware of God's presence.  Some days the to-do list wins and God feels like a distant thought rather than a close presence — and that's exactly what this episode speaks into.

If you've been wondering how to feel connected to God again, this one's worth a quiet listen.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Psalm 139:7–10 Question God, where are you right now that I’ve been overlooking?
