In this episode of Still Redeemed & Rising, we unpack a needed reminder: being close to church, ministry, or even the promise itself doesn’t automatically mean we’re close to Jesus.

Through Matthew 15:8 and the story of Sarai in Genesis 18, we see the difference between proximity and intimacy—and the danger of mistaking one for the other. Sarai was near the promise every day, yet doubt filled her heart until God spoke directly to her. And even then, He responded with mercy, not rejection.

Family, this is your wake-up call: God doesn’t just want your activity—He wants your heart. And even in seasons of doubt, delay, or disbelief, His question still echoes today: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”

Listen in, be encouraged, and take the next step from proximity to true intimacy with Him.
