What do you do when you believe in Jesus Christ—but don’t feel close to Him? When the doctrine still makes sense, the invitations are familiar, and yet your heart feels heavy or stalled? In this episode, Scott and Deb talk candidly about faithful discouragement, emotional distance, and the quiet struggle of trying to “receive Christ” when it doesn’t feel easy or inspiring. Drawing from Alma 7, the Savior’s experience in Gethsemane, insights on grace from Adam Miller, and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s reassurance that we are never too far gone, this conversation reframes grace as Christ staying with us before He changes us. If you’ve ever wondered whether your weariness disqualifies you—or if Christ still comes close in the quiet—this episode is for you.
