Known By Presence- Intimacy, Formation, and the Call to Be Known by God

Many believers know about God, but few are truly known by Him. In this episode, Raymond Ybarra uses the contrast between his older children—who know his past—and his younger children—who know his presence—to reveal a Kingdom truth every disciple must confront: salvation is by grace, but intimacy is what forms disciples. This message dismantles religious familiarity, exposes the danger of distance, and calls the Body of Christ back to daily fellowship, obedience, surrender, and abiding. If you’ve ever wondered why intimacy matters or what it means to be known by God, this episode will reshape your understanding of discipleship and authority.LISTENER TAKEAWAYListeners will walk away with a clear, formational understanding that salvation is a gift of grace, but discipleship requires presence. Intimacy with Christ is not optional — it is the foundation of transformation, obedience, and Kingdom authority. True disciples are not formed by information or activity, but by daily fellowship with Christ. The call is simple and unavoidable: return to presence, be known by God, and let intimacy shape your life.
