Feeling Distant from God? Here’s What’s Really Going On

You’re reading your Bible and praying throughout the day and yet God still doesn’t feel close. If it’s not a discipline problem, it’s got to be something else.

In this episode, we’re talking about why creativity, obedience, and joy are not things you manufacture. They are what happens when you feel truly safe with God. We talk honestly about striving, what your body is trying to tell you, and what it looks like to let God hold you in the middle of a big dream. Come, listen and learn from Kari Eliza, the voice behind Held Right Here.

Why You Struggle to Rest in God (Even When You Believe)

You have believed all the right things for years and yet you’re living in a state of exhaustion and overwhelm. That was Kari Eliza’s story: a good Christian girl. But she didn’t realize how much she was striving in her faith. I’ve invited her to share how she went from tightly wound to genuinely resting in God's presence, not as an idea but as a felt reality. If you are a Christian but still functioning as if you have to perform for God, this episode will help you understand why and show you there is another way. Come listen.
