Men After God

The Real Reason You Feel Far From God


Listen Later

In this episode of the Men After God podcast, host Luke Sorensen tackles a struggle that many men face but few recognize — drifting away from God. Luke explains how spiritual drift often happens not through rebellion, but through complacency and inaction, and he offers a practical framework for getting back on course.

Using the STEER acronym, he challenges listeners to:

  • Stop coasting,
  • Take charge of their spiritual direction,
  • Engage intentionally with God,
  • Evaluate their growth, and
  • Return to their anchor — Jesus Christ.

Through biblical insight and real-life application, Luke encourages men to live with spiritual focus, accountability, and intentionality. Whether you feel stuck, distracted, or distant from God, this episode will help you recognize the drift, adjust your direction, and steer your faith back toward Christ.

🧭 Key Takeaways

  • If you feel distant from God, it's not Him who moved.
  • Drifting away from God often happens through inaction.
  • Intentionality is key to maintaining a relationship with God.
  • The STEER acronym helps guide spiritual growth.
  • Evaluate your spiritual journey regularly to avoid drifting.
  • Engage intentionally with God through prayer and Bible study.
  • Accountability in relationships strengthens faith.
  • The culture will not lead you closer to God.
