Podcasts about intimacy with jesus

Where is God when nothing makes sense? It's easy to dance around tensions like this instead of getting honest about the disorientation and desolation we all experience in our relationship with Jesus. But questions aren't opposed to authentic faith — they're one of the most valuable pieces of our formation. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi talks to Aubrey Sampson — teaching pastor and author of a new book titled What We Find in the Dark: Loss, Hope, and God's Presence in Grief. Her wrestle through grief and a dark night of the soul will help you grow with Jesus through the ups and downs of your own journey. Resources for this Episode:Purchase What We Find in the Dark: Loss, Hope, and God's Presence in GriefFollow Aubrey on Instagram (@aubsamp)Follow Soul Shepherding on instagram (@soulshepherding)Attend a Soul Shepherding RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Suffering is hard and fear is real, but suffering also brings surprising gifts to those who know Jesus.

April 2, 2025

It's vulnerable to ask for what we need or desire. Opening our hearts to others cultivates connection and trust but also leaves us susceptible to rejection and disappointment. And it's no different in a relationship with Jesus — depending on him wholeheartedly always requires risk.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about the nuances of prayer. The closer you grow to the Good Shepherd, the more you'll sense him move you away from transactional prayer and into a conversational relationship. It's in this space of vulnerable interaction that you become more confident in Jesus' love, grow in self-awareness, and develop a larger capacity for emotional honesty and empathy. Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Tongues for intercession  2. Tongues for the sacred assembly  3. Tongues as a sign for the unbeliever   4. Tongues for self-edification  "You can't just make up tongues. You can't just start speaking in Italian. It has to be a part of God's will." - Adam Thompson.  "You don't have to go to a location to encounter God's presence. You can be a Bethel on legs if you know what I mean." - Adam Thompson.
