Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

FEELING FAR FROM GOD? WHY THAT MIGHT MEAN HE’S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK


Listen Later

Segment 1:

• Music & Emotion: Is it okay for worship music to move us emotionally, or is that manipulation?

• John Crotts Weighs In: Music can inform and enhance our emotions if used biblically.

• Are We Missing Something? Have we downplayed the role of music in engaging our hearts in worship?

Segment 2:

• Powerful Worship Moments: Some songs stir deep emotions—does that make them more effective?

• Behold Our God: Let’s take a moment to truly bask in worshipful lyrics.

• Biblical vs. Emotional Worship: If done right, music can help deepen our connection with God—without replacing truth.

Segment 3:

• A Common Struggle: One of the top questions believers ask—how can I know I’m saved?

• More Than Just Head Knowledge: Assurance isn’t about knowing more but trusting more.

• Shift Your Focus: Thinking about God more than yourself strengthens assurance.

Segment 4:

• Feeling Distant from God? That may actually be a sign of connection, not disconnection.

• God Reveals What He’s Already Forgiven: Conviction shouldn’t terrify you—it’s evidence of His grace.

• Does God Seem Frustrated with You? If you believe that, hearing “God loves you” won’t mean much—let’s correct that mindset.
