The Difference Between Knowing About God and Actually Knowing Him
from Clearview Today with Dr. Abidan Shah · host Dr. Abidan Shah
There's a real difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him. In this episode, we continue our Getting to Know God series by looking at why this pursuit isn't optional for the Christian life — and why, despite that, it's one of the most neglected things we do.We talk about how what you believe about God shapes everything else: how you see yourself, how you treat others, and how you handle everything from minor inconveniences to real heartbreak. Along the way, we look at Job's response to devastating loss, Abraham's attempt to help God keep His promise, and Augustine's famous line about restless hearts. Dr. Shah also shares the story of his father climbing a Himalayan mountain to ask a guru whether he'd found the meaning of life — and the answer he got.Support the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose.
