#221 Kirsti Armenta: God Was Never Distant, I Just Couldn't See Him


Listen Later

Kirsti shares her powerful journey from viewing God as distant to discovering His intimate love and presence within her. Her transformation reveals how understanding our identity in Christ brings freedom from both our own sins and the sins committed against us.

• Growing up with divorced parents in an unconventional household filled with exotic animals
• Feeling different from peers as the only Adventist in town
• Experiencing distant father figures that shaped her perception of God
• Losing her father suddenly during her freshman year of college
• Tragically losing her sister to suicide while in college
• Struggling in personal relationships due to seeking approval and worth
• Finding healing through intentional forgiveness toward her stepfather
• Discovering that Christ actually lives within believers
• Learning that God's love isn't earned through performance
• Experiencing transformation in parenting, relationships, and spiritual life
• Reading Scripture with new eyes and understanding
• Moving from religious obligation to genuine desire for God
