Why You Feel Distant from God (and How to Fix It)
with Pastor Jeff
Why do you feel distant from God? Pastor Jeff keeps it simple. People don't feel distant from God because God moved. They feel distant because sin, guilt, and shame start piling up and they stop running to Him. Jeff uses an omelet illustration to explain how choices separate us from communion with God. The solution isn't trying harder. It's surrendering deeper. Heart, will, and emotions. Full dependence. That's where communion gets restored.
