Can I Be Friends with God? (S12E78)

In this episode, I have a beautiful conversation with author, recording artist, and podcaster Tanya Godsey. Tanya's first book is the outstanding Befriending God, in which she shares her insights on forming a personal relationship with God.

Our talk challenges the notion of God as inaccessible, as we touch on the significance of emotional honesty, prayer as a dialogue, and the shared experiences of grief and resilience. Tanya emphasizes how suffering can enhance our understanding of God's nature and love while underlining the importance of community in spiritual journeys.

This episode will encourage you to explore a dynamic relationship with God and pursue the transformative potential of befriending the Creator of your soul.
