5 Blocks to Experiencing God's Presence + Promises

Breaking Chains

If you’ve ever found yourself in a season where God feels distant, or you’re struggling to see His hand in your life, this one’s for you. Maybe you’re in that in-between space—waiting on a promise, grinding it out, or simply wondering, “Where is God in all of this?” In this episode, I’m sharing five key things that kept me from experiencing God’s presence in my life and how I moved past them to walk in His love, clarity, and provision.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

• Blinded by Temporary Problems: How to lift your eyes above the immediate struggles and fix your focus on eternal truths.
• Consumed by Unmet Expectations: The powerful shift that happens when you let go of "the gap" between where you are and where you think you should be.
• Distracted by External Noise: Identifying and eliminating the distractions that pull you off course and drain your energy.
• Laziness in Guarding Your Heart: Why protecting your spiritual, emotional, and mental space is essential for staying connected to God.
• Hijacked by Pride: How self-reliance blocks God’s provision and the power of humility in unlocking His presence.

Plus, I mention some past episodes that go deeper into these themes:

• The Savior Complex: Breaking free from the need to save everyone and trusting our Savior.
• Seven Tactics of the Enemy: Identifying how distractions and lies keep us from focusing on God.

Notable Quotes:

• "When you fixate on temporary problems, you’re blinded to God’s eternal promises."
• "Gratitude shifts your focus from what’s missing to what God is already doing in your life."
• "If you create something in your own strength, you’ll have to sustain it on your own strength. But what God builds, He sustains."

This episode isn’t just about identifying the blockers; it’s about reclaiming God’s presence in your life. Whether it’s laying down pride, tuning out distractions, or surrendering unmet expectations, you’ll leave with practical steps to reconnect with Him.

This is about more than just “feeling better.” It’s about realigning your life with God’s will and promises to experience His presence in every season.
