What if the most important part of leadership is not strategy, but closeness with God? In this heartfelt conversation, Norival Trindade and Shannon Jackson explore why intimacy with God is not just meaningful, but essential for every believer and every leader. Drawing from their personal faith journeys, they share powerful stories of transformation, healing, calling, and the daily pursuit of God’s presence. 

Together, they unpack how intimacy with God grounds us in life’s biggest decisions, strengthens us in moments of struggle, and gives us the joy, clarity, and power to keep moving forward. You will hear practical reflections on prayer, Scripture, silence, solitude, fasting, and serving others, along with honest insights about overcoming sin, showing up consistently, and learning to lean in rather than pull away when life feels messy. 

This episode offers both deep spiritual encouragement and practical wisdom for anyone longing to know God more personally and lead from a place of deeper surrender. Tune in to gain insights on building a life rooted in God’s presence and discovering how intimacy with Him can transform the way you live and lead.
