Ep 139 // You Read, Pray & Serve — So Why Do You Still Feel Distant from God?

You Read, Pray & Serve — So Why Do You Still Feel Distant from God? How Do You Move From Spiritual Busyness to True Intimacy with Jesus? Do you ever find yourself doing all the right faith things — reading your Bible, praying daily, serving others — and yet your heart still feels distant, dry, or spiritually empty? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’ll explore why spiritual busyness can quietly replace closeness with God, and how Jesus invites you instead into abiding — to be with Him, not just do for Him. We’ll unpack John 15:4–5 and what it means to dwell in Christ like a branch in the vine. You’ll hear practical, everyday rhythms and mindset shifts you can start using today to reconnect your heart with God — even when things feel dry. You’ll walk away with: Clarity on the difference between spiritual activity and spiritual intimacy Simple steps to move from striving to resting in God’s presence Encouragement to remember that your faith is not defined by how much you do, but by how deeply you abide If you’re feeling disconnected in your faith — despite doing all the “right” things — this episode is for you.   If this episode resonated, would you share it with a friend who might feel spiritually dry too?
