Knowing God Personally | Moving from information to intimacy

There's a gentle question that can make us pause:

Do I truly know God, or do I mostly just know about Him?

This isn't meant to be condemning or to apply pressure or spiritual guilt. It's simply an honest, heart-level reflection—the kind a close friend might ask while sitting beside you, not across from you.

Many of us are familiar with Scripture, stories, theology, and the language of faith. Yet, if we're honest, intimacy can sometimes feel distant—like we've learned to do Christianity without really learning to be with God.

This episode was created for that quiet realization.

When Knowledge Replaces Connection

In Episode 3 of inTENNtional with God, we explore Jeremiah 9:23–24—a passage that gently yet clearly shifts the foundation of our identity.

God does not highlight wisdom, productivity, strength, or even spiritual accomplishments as something to boast about. Instead, He defines true success as:

Knowing Him.

Not in an academic sense. Not from afar. But intimately.

The Hebrew word used for know here implies closeness—relationship, not information. It’s a knowing that develops through time, presence, and shared experiences.

From Checklist to Closeness

This episode subtly encourages a transition from rushing to resting.

True intimacy always demands time. Not time spent productively or efficiently, but simply together time. The kind without an agenda.

Many of us approach God with plans, lists, and goals for quiet time, yet we seldom come just to be with Him. We read to complete. We pray to say the right things. We leave feeling accomplished, but not necessarily connected.

However, God isn’t seeking your accolades.

He’s seeking you.

Knowing God personally changes everything:

• Scripture becomes a space for listening, not just learning

• Prayer becomes genuine, not polished

• Faith evolves from duty to delight

The invitation isn’t to do more—it’s to slow down enough to recognize who is already present.
