BIG IDEA: For most people, their relationship with God feels weird and awkward. But God wants a relationship with them that is close, inspiring, and transformative.

We all have relationships that feel weird. Awkward. Uncomfortable. We don’t necessarily want them to be that way, but they are. You struggle to communicate and gain the cooperation of your child. You’ve never felt close to your parents, but you wish they would express interest in you. You’ve drifted away from a close relationship with a friend. And for a lot of people, this same distance characterizes their relationship with God.
