Description

Have you ever felt like God is distant—or absent altogether?

In this episode of More Faith, More Life, Pastor Steve Gray explores one of the most misunderstood spiritual realities: when God withdraws, not in catastrophe, but in silence. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience in historic revivals, and biblical examples, he explains how divine withdrawal can be a form of judgment that feels like freedom but slowly leads to spiritual drift.

This conversation challenges comfortable Christianity, exposes the danger of resisting conviction, and invites listeners to rediscover the presence of God as the anchor for clarity, wisdom, and purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered why faith feels quiet, why conviction fades, or why church feels routine, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• God's withdrawal is a form of judgment that can feel deceptively like freedom, leading to a lack of spiritual conviction.
• Resistance to God’s guidance often results in spiritual withdrawal, where boundaries and moral clarity become blurred.
• Recognizing God's withdrawal requires a return to seeking a strong presence of the Holy Spirit in one's life.
• Historical and modern revivals serve as inspiration for reigniting a passionate pursuit of spiritual connection and holiness.
• Clarity in one’s spiritual life is paramount for discerning right from wrong, beyond mere legal or societal standards.
