Show Notes

Riley and Shiloh talk about the various ways that we, and others, have experienced God. They explore how the preparation for experiencing God is, in itself, an amazing divine experience, as there are multiple ways that each of us partake of the divine gift of sitting with God. While we often talk in terms of "feeling" the Spirit or God, sometimes we experience God in completely unique ways that aren't within the realms of "feeling," aren't commonly recognized or spoken of, and that sometimes we don't even realize ourselves without careful and intentional self-reflection. Many times in those moments when we recognize those precious and unique ways that God is touching our lives, we seek for validation and, as weird as it may sound, "permission" from others that what we're experiencing is acceptable and sufficient. We hope to impress and encourage everyone in their walk with God to validate their divine experiences that bring peace and good fruit into their lives.
