When Prayer Feels Empty and God Feels Gone | Ep 66
Episode description
Have you ever felt far from God? Like your prayers are going unanswered or you're stuck in a spiritual wilderness? In this honest solo episode, Jill opens up about what it’s like to feel disconnected from God and the uncomfortable, but holy, invitation that sometimes comes with it. From recognizing the lies we believe (“I must not have enough faith”) to identifying distractions, burnout, and avoidance, this episode helps you name what’s really going on beneath the silence. Jill shares biblical wisdom, practical ways to reengage, and gentle encouragement for when your emotions feel louder than God’s voice. Whether you're in a season of grief, disappointment, or quiet wrestling, this is a no-shame space to breathe, recalibrate, and remember, you are not alone. God is near. Always.
And as always, we start off the episode with what is bringing us joy and we know you will be so encouraged by this conversation. Listen free on Apple or Spotify, and join us on Patreon for exclusive content!
