Working For God… But Not Walking With Him? The Dangerous Lie Many Christians Believe #BiblePodcast #ChristianPodcastingLife #FaithPodcast #ChristianEncouragement#WomenOfFaith #SecretPlace

from The Upper Room Podcast · host Olu Buley

In today’s church culture, it’s easy to become busy doing things for God while slowly drifting away from God Himself. But Scripture reveals a powerful truth: God calls us to walk with Him before we ever work for Him. From Adam in the garden to the disciples Jesus called to first be with Him, the Bible shows that ministry without intimacy leads to emptiness. In fact, Jesus warned that some will do miracles in His name yet still hear the devastating words: “I never knew you.” In this powerful episode, we explore the difference between working for God and walking with God, why intimacy must always come before ministry, and how believers today can return to the secret place where true spiritual authority is born. If you’ve ever felt spiritually busy but internally distant from God, this message will challenge and realign your heart. #WalkWithGod #ChristianPodcast #UpperRoomPodcast #FaithWalk #IntimacyWithGod #SecretPlace #ChristianTeaching #AbideInChrist #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianEncouragement #FaithOverPerformance walking with God before ministry working for God but not knowing Him christian podcast intimacy with God secret place with God teaching matthew 7 I never knew you meaning abide in me john 15 teaching christian spiritual intimacy sermon relationship with God vs religion upper room podcast christian teaching importance of prayer life christian
