272 | Lessons from the Resurrection - Part 3: God Is Closer Than You Think, with Jody Hudson

Many of us love God deeply, and yet there are moments when He feels distant, especially in seasons of pressure, grief, or uncertainty. The Resurrection reveals something surprising: what looked like absence was not the end, but the beginning of a deeper awareness of God’s presence. In this Renewal Conversation, we explore how faith moves from something we practice at certain times of the day to a relationship we live in every moment. Jody Hudson, a fundraising professional and philanthropist, shares different ways that she has been able to stay close to God - on good days, not-so good days, and really tough ones too. Jody’s journey through the loss of her daughter, heavy heartbreak, and rebuilding, reveals how God can bring renewal even in the midst of unimaginable pain. And how, even in the hardest seasons, God may be closer than you think. In this conversation, we discuss: ☀️ Moving beyond the practice of faith as an obligation. ☀️ The ways God speaks to us and allowing ourselves to hear His message.☀️ The fullness of spiritual growth and the role pruning plays. ☀️ Regularly feeding your subconscious with God's promises and using music to shift your energy. Jody finds hope and strength in this Bible verse: "Therefore, we do not lose heart, though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV) Click PLAY to listen to this episode ▶️ 👉 https://youtu.be/eviGRSRyj7s Want to know more about our guest?🔗 Website: https://www.alexhudsonlymefoundation.org/Social Media: @jkutahudsonHer Book: https://www.amazon.com/My-Promise-Alex-Jody-Hudson/dp/B09RM8WP5N 👍 If this episode and channel blesses you, please give a THUMBS-UP, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE the message!
