Have you ever felt like your faith is on autopilot — where you’re reading your Bible, showing up to church, but your heart feels distant from God? In this episode, I continue my conversation with Thomas Davis — pastor, ministry leader, and current counseling student — as we dive into what spiritual numbness looks like and how to renew your connection with God.
In Part 1, we talked about approaching worship when you’re carrying shame, guilt, or unresolved pain. In Part 2, we take it further, discussing:
Why spiritual numbness happens — and how to recognize when your heart has grown cold
The role of spiritual disciplines — prayer, Scripture, community, and worship as pathways to intimacy with God, not checklists to earn His love
How to reconnect with God in an authentic way — even when you don’t feel like it
Practical steps for building rhythms of grace instead of striving for perfection
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I feel stuck in my walk with God?” or “How do I get my passion for Him back?” — this episode will meet you right where you are.
