Hey friend, Lepora here.


In this episode, I want to have a heart-to-heart with you about something that’s easy to overlook in the busyness of life: the subtle signs that you may be drifting away from God.


Let’s be real—your relationship with God isn’t stagnant. It’s either growing stronger or slowly slipping, sometimes without you even realizing it. Just like any relationship, it requires intentionality, presence, and care. If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions in your faith, this episode is for you.


We’re diving into 5 honest, relatable signs that you may be drifting from God. I’ll share personal moments and reflections that will help you pause and reflect on where your heart really is—and what you can do about it. Here’s a sneak peek:


🔹 1. Your Prayer Life Feels Scripted

Are you praying out of routine or out of relationship? If your prayers have started sounding more like speeches than honest conversations, this might be a sign that your intimacy with God is fading.


🔹 2. You’re Distracted During Time with God

Whether it’s prayer, worship, or reading your Bible—does your mind wander easily? You’re not alone. But when we’re mentally absent during our time with God, it may point to deeper disconnection.


🔹 3. You Choose Comfort Over Growth

Growth requires stretching—and sometimes that means discomfort. If you’re only leaning into the easy verses, the feel-good sermons, or the convenient moments, you might be avoiding the very things God wants to use to transform you.


🔹 4. You Go to People Before God

This one hits deep. When life gets messy or confusing, who do you turn to first? Wise counsel is good, but God should always be your first source of direction, not your last resort.


🔹 5. Worship Feels Empty or Forced

If worship feels like a chore or leaves you feeling emotionally numb, it’s worth exploring why. Worship is meant to connect our hearts to God—not just fill a routine. If that connection is missing, it may be time to check in with your heart.


Plus, I share a Bonus Sign—one that I believe many of us fall into without realizing: compartmentalizing our faith. If God only gets Sundays or moments of crisis, we’ve got Him in a box He never belonged in.


This episode isn’t about judgment—it’s about awareness. Because when we can recognize the signs, we can take steps to draw near to God again. The good news? He’s always ready to welcome us back with open arms.


So if you’ve been feeling distant, disconnected, or just a little off in your walk with God, I invite you to listen in. You’re not alone—and it’s not too late to realign.


🎧 Press play, and let’s walk this journey together.


If this episode speaks to you, send it to a friend who might need this gentle nudge too.


Until next time, take care and stay rooted. 💛
