Listen "224: How to Get Closer to God After Feeling Spiritually Distant"
Episode Synopsis
In the previous episode, I shared how my life just blew up and my realizations that Jesus never hurried. He trusted the Father’s timing even in the slow and uncertain season, which hit me hard, but it also left me wondering:How do I actually come back to God when I feel distant, numb, or even resistant to His presence?That’s what this episode is all about. I’m sharing the exact things that helped me reconnect with God after dry, confusing, and even defiant seasons, like the prayer that changed everything, how I eased back into the Bible without guilt, and how confession opened my heart again.If you're feeling far from God, spiritually dull, or unsure how to take the next step, this episode is a gentle, practical place to begin.🌿 We discuss: The short books that helped me want God again (start with James!)A journaling method that changed my relationship with GodHow to confess when you’re scared to even prayThe “Christian content fast” that can renew your mind in 5 daysBOOK A FREE CALL WITH US THIS WEEK: https://calendly.com/audrey-tcc/consultation-call?month=2025-01FREE CAREER COACHING RESOURCES:Free Training: How to Find and Land a Job You Feel Called to in 8 Straightforward Steps → https://thecalledcareer.com/our-processMore of a reader?
