That’s what Jeannie found herself praying just after she woke a couple weeks ago. She sensed a distance.

Sometimes we know that God is right here, right now. And sometimes we feel like he’s far away. Is it a matter of trusting what we know or is it a prompt to turn from sin in our lives?

Jeannie Cunnion, author of Closer to God: a 40 Day Pursuit of God’s Personal Presence says it could be both!

Jeannie shares, “I spent my whole life till I was 25 performing for Jesus!” It’s a conversation about the massive difference between religion and the gospel.

One of the benefits of the closeness of God is His empowering presence. Shawna shares a time she was battling what she should do vs. what she wanted to do and asked the Holy Spirit to help her. And He did!

As a teenager Perry’s dad was in the confession booth and noticed a cross with lipstick on it. In that moment he thought of the passage, “My people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” It’s a conversation about how repentance is meant to be life-giving, not something we do to get God to love us.

When you’re in the presence of God you will know His purpose for your life. In The Message’s version of John 15:17 Jesus invites us into an intimate and organic relationship with Him. As we learn to do life with God, He will lead us into our God-given purpose day by day.

Last, one evening when Perry was 18, he was playing hoops.  He went up for a rebound and came down on somebody’s foot. That excruciatingly painful ankle sprain turned the trajectory of Perry’s life toward Jesus.
