How to Actually Meet God! - Episode 34 Trust in God Podcast

If you walked into your office and said you hit a semi-truck on the highway, but didn't have a scratch on you, nobody would believe you. Why? Because you can’t encounter something that powerful and stay the same.In this episode, Father Bennett and Grant dive into the "Psychology of the Encounter." Most of us treat God like a religious routine, but a real encounter is a "pattern interrupt" that shatters our expectations. We break down the stories of the Woman at the Well, the Rich Young Man, and Naaman to show you why you might be missing God in the mundane.If you feel stuck in your faith, this video will help you identify the 3 signs of a true spiritual breakthrough and how to stop relying on yourself and start trusting in His presence.Chapters:0:00 The Semi-Truck Analogy1:45 What is a "Scrutiny"?5:38 The Woman at the Well: Labels vs. Truth10:20 Why the Rich Young Man Walked Away Sad14:45 Why Naaman Almost Missed His Healing17:15 The Simplicity of the Eucharist23:15 Grant’s Story: Almost Dropping the Host35:40 Breaking the "Cradle Catholic" Fog40:50 Father Bennett’s Call to Priesthood49:30 The Number One Sign of an Encounter54:00 A Prayer for Your WeekFor more information about St. Michael the Archangel Pastorate, visit:🌐 Website: https://stmichaelpastorate.org/📱 Facebook (St. Augustine, Rensselaer): https://www.facebook.com/staugustinerensselaer📱 Facebook (Sacred Heart, Remington): https://www.facebook.com/sacredheartremington📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stmichaelpastorate/🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@st.michaelthearchangelpast999🟣 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trust-in-god-podcast/id1845406973 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7f6OQsJ3gD8mNAZqMyMLaW?si=312994efcd894cff We’re excited to grow with you!
