This is a very common question from both believers and skeptics. Believers often feel like God is distant and want to experience more of Him. Skeptics say that if God wanted everyone to believe then he should just show up and reveal himself to everyone. Either way, God’s distance and hiddenness seem unreasonable. Why doesn’t God make his existence more obvious? Listen below for my response!

We can’t go by our feelings but must stand on the inerrant Word of God. Our feelings depend on outside stimuli and how it effects us. Gods promises never change. Standing in prayer with you on this truth 🙏
