Ep. 14 Different Ways to Know God — A Holy Journey Through Pit, Cave, Whale, Road, and Prison
We can’t know all of God, but Scripture shows His holy presence meeting us in surprising places—Joseph’s pit, Elijah’s cave, Jonah’s whale, Saul’s road, and even a modern prison cell. In each place, God reveals something true, good, and life-changing…and calls us to listen and respond.
3 Takeaways
God meets us where we are—low places included—with sovereignty, presence, mercy, transformation, and redemption.
Every encounter with God is holy and revelatory, inviting a response that reshapes our lives into Christlikeness.
We meet God in Scripture; every time we open the Word, He speaks and forms us for the journey.
3 Gentle Invitations
• Notice your “place” today—pit, cave, whale, road, or prison of circumstance—and ask: What is God revealing here?
• Open the Word with expectancy and a listening heart; pray, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
• Take one Christlike step this week (forgiveness, truth-telling, service, or prayer) as your lived response to God’s presence.
