What Does It Mean to Find Intimacy with God? With Faith Eury Cho | Ep. 599

Awesome Marriage Podcast

What does it look like to live in intimacy with God each day? We are delighted to have Faith Eury Cho with us today, sharing about what friendship with God means, even in the “wilderness” times in our lives.

Faith is the CEO and founder of the Honor Summit, a gospel preacher, and author of the new book, Experiencing Friendship with God: How the Wilderness Draws Us to His Presence. Faith does a great job de-mystifying this lofty topic, so you don’t want to miss this conversation.

We pray this episode is helpful for you and your marriage.

Episode highlights include:

• What does “friendship with God” actually mean?

• Practical ways to “practice God’s presence,” even if it seems out of reach

• How friendship with God impacts marriage

• How to grow spiritually with your spouse

• Ways to take these concepts into parenting / grandparenting

• How to navigate the wilderness seasons of our faith
