E:64: Make Yourself at Home: Why Abiding With God Feels Lonely (Part 1 of 3)
from Beyond Believing: Helping Christian Women Heal Post Divorce · host beyondbelieving
When invited to “be still with God,” to deepen their relationship with Him, divorced Christian women respond with the same response: "That feels lonely." In Part 1 of this new 3-part series on Abiding in God’s Love, Katie Anne explores why intimacy with God feels uncomfortable after divorce — and how Scripture reframes loneliness as invitation, not abandonment. Drawing from Jeremiah 29, John 15, and 1 John 4, this episode reveals how both over-seeking connection (The Chaser) and emotional shutdown (The Cutoff) stem from the same wound: fear around love and vulnerability. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why post-divorce stillness feels like exile What it means to “make yourself at home” in God’s love How perfect love drives out fear — not people Why exile with God produces more fullness than comfort without Him 🎧 Subscribe to hear the full series: Episode 65: Guard Your Access Episode 66: Fed by His Will Missed the previous series to prepare you for this invitation?
