332: 3 Invitations for a Deeper Connection with God


Listen Later

In this episode, Gem reflects on a powerful moment from a difficult season in her life when she found hope in a simple yet profound image: a long, dark tunnel with a pinhole of light in the distance. This light became a symbol of God's presence, reminding her that even in the darkest moments, His light is enough to guide us forward. She explores the invitation from Psalm 27:4 to dwell, gaze, and seek God, unpacking each of these spiritual practices and how they bring us closer to Him.

 

Through reflection and personal insights, this episode encourages you to embrace God's presence in the everyday moments—dwelling in His love, gazing upon His beauty, and seeking His guidance with a childlike heart. Tune in and discover how these simple practices can deepen your connection with God and His sacred presence in your life.

In this episode, you'll reflect on:

  • How can we find hope and God's presence even in dark or uncertain seasons of life?
  • What are some practical ways to engage with the spiritual practices of dwelling, gazing, and seeking God?
  • How can cultivating a childlike wonder and expectancy transform our spiritual journey?
