E183: Day 3: How to Lean Into Jesus — The Disciple's Secret to Intimacy with God | The Activated Disciple

Day 3: How to Lean Into Jesus — The Beloved Disciple's Secret to Intimacy with God | The Activated DiscipleHow do you find real intimacy with Jesus when you feel distant from God? On Day 3 of The Activated Disciple, we step into the Last Supper and watch one man — John, the disciple Jesus loved — do something none of the others at that table did. He leaned in. While the other disciples argued about who was the greatest, while Peter panicked about the betrayer, while the whole room spun in tension — John rested his head on Jesus' chest. This Christian daily devotional podcast episode is for anyone who has been feeling far from God, struggling with closeness in their prayer life, or wondering how to go deeper with Jesus in everyday life. We uncover the Greek word kolpos (κόλπος) — the same word used in John 1:18 to describe Jesus' closeness with the Father — and discover that the intimacy the Son has with the Father is the exact intimacy Jesus is inviting YOU into. We'll unpack how to cultivate closeness with Jesus, what the "lean in" posture looks like in real life, and why most of us feel distance from God not because He moved — but because we only come close when we need something.Scripture: John 13:21–25 Ancient Word: kolpos (κόλπος) — bosom, chest, the inner place closest to the heart Series: The Activated Disciple (Day 3 of 16) Be the first to get our new weekly Wednesday devotional in your inbox https://holyshiftmedia.com intimacy with Jesus, disciple Jesus loved, how to be close to God, feeling distant from God, beloved disciple, Christian daily devotional podcast, Last Supper devotional, Holy Shift Devotionals, closeness with God, prayer intimacy, Desiree Day podcast, Activated Disciple series
