Hazen Stevens Podcast

God’s original design was always about deep, face-to-face intimacy with His people. In this week’s message, we explore how sin disrupted that connection—but more importantly, how Jesus made the way for restoration.

📖 Main Passage: John 4:23-24
"True worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth..."

💬 Topics Covered:
– God’s desire for relationship (Genesis 3:8)
– How sin separates us from intimacy (Isaiah 59:2)
– The Gospel as God's plan for restoration (John 1:29, Hebrews 10)
– Freedom from shame and the beauty of sonship (Romans 8:1, Luke 15)
– How to live daily in intimacy with God (John 15, Psalm 16)

Are you living in the fullness of relationship God desires? This message is a powerful call to let go of shame and step into daily communion with the Father.
