This Is Why Your Faith Feels Stale

In this episode of What Do You Wanna Know?, Pastor David Martin and Venus Griffith tackle one of the most foundational - and most misunderstood - questions in the Christian life.

Many people are told:

“Just pray more.”

“Listen to worship music.”

“Read your Bible.”

But what if you’re doing those things and still feel like nothing is happening?

This conversation explores:

What the Bible says about our relationship with God before salvation

How Jesus initiates relationship with us

Why intimacy - not routine - is the goal

How seasons change the way we experience God

Why faith can feel stale (and how to move forward)

If you’ve ever wondered whether your relationship with God is “working,” this episode will give you clarity, depth, and encouragement.
