EP. 71: From a Distance or Face-to-Face? Your Invitation into the Tent of Meeting

Shoot me a text!

Have you ever felt like you were close to God… but not with Him? Like you’re standing on the edge of something sacred, but unsure how to step in?

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, host Jan Touchberry unpacks the story of the Tent of Meeting from Exodus 33—and why so many of us choose to watch God move from a distance rather than meeting with Him face-to-face. Through storytelling, Scripture, and vulnerability, she invites you into a space of soul rest, deeper presence, and divine friendship.

Whether you’ve been in a dry spiritual season or you're craving more of God, this episode will stir your heart and give you practical ways to reconnect.

KEY POINTS:

• What the Tent of Meeting reveals about God's desire for intimacy

• Why we often settle for secondhand experiences with God

• The power of lingering in God's presence like Joshua did

• Real talk on fear, shame, and the lies that keep us outside the tent

• Five simple but powerful ways to step into deeper connection with God

• The vision behind the upcoming Soul Rest Retreat and how to know if it’s for you
