Why Does God Feel So Far Away?

If you've ever felt like your prayers were hitting the ceiling, wondered why God seems silent, or struggled with spiritual numbness, this conversation is for you. In this honest episode of The Bible Bros, Billy Hallowell and Dalton Harper tackle one of the biggest questions Christians wrestle with: Why do we sometimes feel so far from God? Together, they unpack what Scripture says about spiritual dryness, why seasons of pain and silence aren't always signs that God has abandoned us, and how prayer, obedience, and God's Word can completely transform your walk with Christ. Billy also opens up about one of the darkest seasons of his life, sharing how God used suffering to deepen his faith in ways he never expected. The conversation also explores: * Why so many Christians feel spiritually numb * Are we blaming God for problems we've created? * The connection between prayer, Scripture, and intimacy with God * What it really means to be a follower of Jesus * Why God sometimes allows pain and hardship * How to draw near to God when He feels distant * The simple truth about prayer that many believers miss Whether you're in a season of doubt, struggling to hear God's voice, or simply want a deeper relationship with Jesus, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for your journey.
