  • Episode 3 – Make it Personal
    Mar 30 2026

    After exploring the theology and practice of intimacy with God, it's time to get real. In this episode, our panel of pastors opens up about their own spiritual journeys, sharing honest stories about the disciplines that have shaped their walks with God.

    You'll hear which practices first became meaningful in their lives and why, what their current rhythms look like, and how those rhythms have changed over time and through different seasons. They'll share the disciplines that have been most formative for their intimacy with God—and vulnerably discuss the ones they still struggle with.

    This isn't a polished, picture-perfect conversation. It's real pastors talking about real life—the wins, the struggles, the adjustments, and the grace that carries us through it all. You'll discover how spiritual disciplines have deepened not just their knowledge about God, but their actual relationship with Him, and how that intimacy has shaped the way they shepherd others.

    If you've ever felt stuck, inconsistent, or weighed down by guilt when it comes to spiritual practices, this episode offers the encouragement you need. Our panel speaks directly to the tension between discipline and legalism, offering practical wisdom and hope for anyone wanting to begin—or begin again.

    Join us for an honest, hope-filled conversation that reminds us: pursuing God isn't about perfection. It's about presence.

  • Episode 2 - Pursuing Intimacy with God
    Feb 23 2026

    Knowing that God desires intimacy with us is one thing—but how do we actually pursue it? In this episode, we move from theology to practice, exploring the tangible steps we can take to draw closer to God.

    We'll discuss where to start when you've felt distant from God, unpack what spiritual disciplines are and how they work, and address the common barriers that keep us from experiencing closeness with Him. You'll discover how to keep your spiritual practices from becoming empty routines and instead allow them to truly nurture your relationship with God.

    Life doesn't always cooperate with our spiritual plans. We'll talk honestly about what pursuing God looks like in seasons of busyness, suffering, and spiritual dryness—and how intimacy with God extends far beyond formal prayer times into the everyday rhythms of work, family, and daily life.

    If you've ever felt discouraged or stuck in your walk with God, this episode offers hope: God's desire for closeness with you is greater than any obstacle in your way.

    Join us for a practical, grace-filled conversation about the journey toward deeper intimacy with God.
