In this powerful episode, I explore the biblical concept of “yada”—the Hebrew word for deep, intimate knowing—and how it reveals God’s desire for a close, personal relationship with His people. I reflect on how we sometimes put God in a box and fail to grasp the depth of His love and pursuit.
I also read a moving passage from Dr. Juli Slattery’s book Passion Pursuit, discuss the metaphor of marriage as it relates to Christ and the Church, and examine scriptures that highlight God’s fierce, jealous love for us. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to move beyond surface-level faith and lean into the profound mystery of being known by the Creator.
