Relate: Living Room Chats

Religion EN ↓ 6 episodes

Have you ever felt like you simply don't know how to grow closer to God? Same. For years I lived out a surface-level faith, I had the church attendance and the prayers that felt like they hit the ceiling. But something was missing. That's exactly why Relate exists. In this podcast, we're going deep into who God is, how He relates to us, and how we can move from a distant faith into one that feels alive. Each episode is short, honest, and built to give you something real to walk away with. It's time to Relate.

Episode 6: Obedience to the Lord 10.07.2026 10:08

Have you ever hit the end of yourself only to realize God was never part of the plan? In this episode we walk through Isaiah 30 when the Israelites struggle with just that as they look to Eygpt for "shelter" and "protection" instead of God.

Episode 2: Do You Know His Name? 10.06.2026 9:12

When God reveals Himself to Moses in Exodus 34, He doesn't start with His power, He starts with His name. In the ancient world, a name was your identity, your autobiography in one word. So when God speaks His name over Moses, He's doing something deeply personal. In this episode, we dig into what that moment reveals about who God really is. His baseline emotion, His character, and how know...
