This week on Rooted and Raw, we ask a question that invites us to examine the depth of our faith: Do you feel like you know God right now—or do you simply know about Him?
It's possible to know Scripture, attend church, and check all the spiritual boxes while still feeling distant from the One those things are meant to point us toward. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the difference between knowing facts about God and cultivating a personal, intimate relationship with Him.
Together, we explore what intimacy with God looks like in everyday life, how seasons of spiritual dryness can affect our walk, and practical ways to draw closer to Him through prayer, His Word, and intentional time in His presence. Whether you feel deeply connected to God or you're longing to experience Him in a fresh way, this conversation is an invitation to move beyond religion and into relationship.
Because God isn't simply inviting us to know more about Him—He's inviting us to know Him personally, deeply, and to be transformed by His presence.
