Description: Want to feel closer to God but something always seems to block you? In this powerful conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship unpack why so many believers feel distant from God — even though Christ is in you and the Holy Spirit is always present. Through a real-life example of a man who struggled during his prayer walks, they reveal how negative emotions (like frustration and anger) are actually invitations from God to find hidden lies we’ve believed since childhood.You’ll discover:• Why anger is almost always a secondary emotion rooted in fear• How a single childhood moment can create a false identity that blocks intimacy with God• The simple process of going back with Jesus to the memory where the lie began• How letting Jesus reinterpret your painful memories brings instant freedom and deeper connection with GodThis isn’t about trying harder to reach God — it’s about removing the lies that make you think He’s far away.
