How Can I Experience God’s Presence in My Life?

Do you check in with God occasionally, or do you truly abide in His presence?

Many of us desire a deeper connection with God but find ourselves distracted, distant, or unsure how to truly experience His nearness. James 4:8 tells us: “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” But what does that actually look like in our daily lives?

✨ What we cover in this episode:
1️⃣ The difference between acknowledging God and truly abiding in Him.
2️⃣ Why surrender—not striving—draws us closer to His presence.
3️⃣ The three dimensions of God’s presence: Omnipresence, Manifest Presence, and Indwelling Presence.
4️⃣ The story of Mary & Martha: Choosing devotion over distraction.
5️⃣ Practical steps to remove distractions and make space for God daily.

About Me:

Hi, I’m Kristin, the host of What We Long For. My journey began with a deep curiosity about God and a passion for understanding how His truth shapes our lives. This led me to earn degrees in History & Theology and Theological Studies, where I explored the depths of Scripture and the beauty of God’s character.

I’m passionate about making Scripture-based, theologically rich, spiritual formation content accessible, approachable, and attainable for women. Through this podcast, my hope is to guide you toward discovering how the truth, goodness, and beauty of God meet the deepest longings of your heart and transform the way you live your faith daily.

My Prayer for You:

Based on John 12:32: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” My prayer is that this episode helps you lift your eyes to Jesus, the only one who can truly fill the empty places in your heart. May you find lasting satisfaction in His presence.
