Freed From Feeling Distant From God: How My Faith Survived A Dark Night of the Soul with Kelly French (Ep 012)

from The Miraculous Freedom Podcast · host Charlsie Al Harthy

Today’s conversation was SO meaty that we had to divide it into two parts! I’ve got the privilege of sharing the first half of that conversation with you today, and I am so excited for you to hear one of my dearest friends, Kelly French, share her heart about connecting with God and developing a close relationship with Him. As you’ll hear in today’s episode, Kelly grew up as a PK (pastor’s kid!) and truly admired her mother’s faith as a little girl. Her parents intentionally modeled and taught her to cultivate and nurture a personal relationship with the Lord at a young age, and she truly does have one of the deepest relationships with God that I’ve observed as an adult. However, Kelly experienced a “dark night of the soul” a few years ago, during which she felt distant from God, and as if she was unable to hear from Him like before. Today, she vulnerably opens up and explains how she persisted through this incredibly trying time, what God taught her through this, and how she ended up experiencing His nearness in new, fresh ways on the other side. If you’ve ever wondered…What it means to “enter into God’s presence” What to do when you feel “far” from GodWhat the benefits of pursuing a closer relationship with God areThen this episode is for you! And if you like this one, I know you’re gonna LOVE next week’s because it’s with Kelly again, and we go even further into the details and get super practical in how to implement some of the concepts we talked about today. Don’t forget to check back here next Tuesday to, as Larry King would say, hear the rest of the story :) In the meantime, you may want to go back and listen to Episode 004: Conversations with a College Student: Does It Matter If I Pray? to hear a conversation on the ins and outs of prayer! Thanks so much for listening!
