It can be easy to believe that if we don’t sense God, He must be distant—or that His love for us has somehow changed. We may even find ourselves striving for God’s acceptance instead of resting in the truth that we are already loved by Him. In this episode, we talk about the deception of feelings and the importance of choosing God’s truth over our emotions . As Christians, we are called to walk by faith, not by feelings. Even when God feels silent or distant, His love remains faithful and unchanging. If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, felt far from God, or found yourself striving to earn His love and acceptance, this episode is for you. ------------------------ 🔅 LETS KEEP IN TOUCH: https://beacons.ai/donelivinglukewarmpod 📣 PATREON https://www.patreon.com/cw/DoneLivingLukewarmPod ----------------------- 🎧🎧 MUSIC USED 🎧🎧🎧 BACKBONE Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/monobox/backbone License code: VHCUMZC9X80V7LQC RULES OF LIFE Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): ⁠ https://uppbeat.io/t/brock-hewitt-stories-in-sound/rule-of-life⁠ License code: EFVZOXQG75QDFL36 THE HOLLOW 💜 Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/greenhouse/the-hollow License code: HR53ETZ0M77ONOCQ ---------------------- God's love • God's acceptance • striving for God's acceptance • God's presence • when you don't feel God • God feels distant • faith over feelings • walking by faith • trusting God • Christian faith • spiritual doubt • God's truth • trusting God's love • resting in God's love • Christian encouragement ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/done-living-lukewarm-bible-study-mental-health-christian-women-identity-in-christ-motherhood-6903000/episodes/when-you-don-t-feel-god-s-presence-choosing-faith-over-feelings-and-striving-trusting-god-s-love/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/done-living-lukewarm-bible-study-mental-health-christian-women-identity-in-christ-motherhood-6903000/when-you-don-t-feel-god-s-presence-choosing-faith-over-feelings-and-striving-trusting-god-s-love.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
