EP. 238 — This Is Why Most Christians Miss True Intimacy with God!

In this passionate episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson and co-host Michael Riley unpack what it truly means to have intimacy with God. Is your walk with God built on covenant love or just a contractual mindset? Discover the difference between knowing about God and knowing Him, how to crave God's presence, and why intimacy demands vulnerability, humility, and pursuit.

They break down powerful scriptures like Genesis 3:8, Hosea 2, John 17, and Hebrews 11:6, offering both biblical insight and practical examples. Learn the true meaning of “diligently seek Him” and how your spiritual hunger transforms into a deep craving once you’ve experienced His presence.

Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned disciple, this episode will reignite your desire to pursue a deeper relationship with the Father.
