Discovering True Intimacy with God

Episode Overview

  • Intimacy with God goes beyond intellectual knowledge.
  • True intimacy requires vulnerability and openness.
  • Biblical references support the concept of spiritual intimacy.
  • Practical steps include prayer, worship, and Bible reading.
  • Healing from past wounds is essential for deeper connection.
Intimacy is to know and to be known. It is probably the deepest longing of the human heart.
Ever wondered what it truly means to have an intimate relationship with God? In this episode of 'Hope, Healing & Freedom', Lee Whitman takes you on a journey to understand how intimacy with God goes beyond mere theological knowledge. Sharing a candid conversation with his pastor friend Mark, who admits he's never grasped the concept of intimacy with Jesus, Lee dives deep into what it means to know and be known by God.
He likens this spiritual intimacy to the vulnerability and openness required in close human relationships, such as marriage. Lee explains that just as physical intimacy requires nakedness, emotional and spiritual intimacy with God requires us to be open and vulnerable. By breaking down the Greek term 'Ginosco', which implies a deep, experiential knowledge, he clarifies that intimacy with God is indeed biblical and was at the heart of Jesus' mission.
Lee also discusses practical ways to cultivate this intimacy, like spending intentional time in prayer, worship, and reading the Bible. These practices aren't about earning God's favour but about deepening an already existing relationship. Whether you're struggling with addiction, past wounds, or simply seeking a deeper connection with God, this episode offers valuable insights and practical steps to help you experience the profound love and acceptance that comes from an intimate relationship with Him.
Don't miss out on discovering how you can live a life filled with hope, healing, and freedom through true intimacy with God.
