Have We Lost Our Awe of God in Modern Church Culture?

In this episode of The Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Dusty and Andrew wrestle with a question that feels uncomfortably relevant: have we lost our awe of God? Dusty kicks things off by asking whether worship services and church life have become so familiar that we no longer walk in with any real expectation for God to move. When everything starts to feel routine, do we stop anticipating the presence and power of the Lord altogether? Andrew pushes the conversation further by asking if our dependence on tools like Google and ChatGPT has quietly replaced the hard, personal work of studying God’s Word for ourselves. Are we outsourcing our spiritual growth instead of opening the Bible with humility, curiosity, and reverence? Together, the guys talk honestly about comfort, convenience, and how easily awe can fade when faith becomes automated. It’s a reflective conversation that challenges listeners to slow down, re-examine their posture before God, and rediscover the wonder of encountering Him—not just learning about Him. If you’ve ever felt spiritually “on autopilot,” this episode is for you.
