S1E6: Knowing God: Emotion & Intellect (Reflections with Matt & Matt)

What if I don’t feel God?In this follow-up to our conversation with Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa, we explore the tension between intellect and emotion in the Christian life. What role do feelings play in worship, doubt, and discipleship? And what happens when the emotions fade?Matt Jones and Matt Lingafelt reflect on their own journeys of faith—shaped by both apologetics and steady commitment, as well as emotional experience and spiritual hunger—and wrestle with the question: Can I trust my faith even when I feel nothing?This episode tackles the pendulum swing between cold certainty and emotional chaos, asking how we can love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. From the Psalms to personal stories, we rediscover how Scripture speaks to the head and the heart—and how God meets us in both.
