You aren’t alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck in the comparison trap. In this episode of The Daily Grace Podcast, Shelby and Staff Writer Grace tackle the unspoken question so many Christian women wrestle with: “Why don’t I feel close to God?”

Together, they debunk the myth that closeness to God is reserved for “super-Christians” and unpack how Jesus has already secured complete, bold access to the Father for you. Discover how simple spiritual disciplines act like raising the sails on a sailboat—positioning your heart to catch the wind of the Holy Spirit. Tune in to swap spiritual guilt for true intimacy, and learn how to show up for God even when you don’t “feel” like it.

Do you ever wonder if God notices you while you're folding another load of laundry, clearing an overwhelming inbox, or figuring out what to make for dinner again? In this episode of The Daily Grace Podcast, Shelby is joined by editorial staff writer Bekah to address a question so many wrestle with in their faith: Does God actually care about the small details of my life? Together, Shelby and Bekah walk through the book of Ruth to reveal how God sovereignly uses seemingly mundane, daily tasks to carry out His grand plan of redemption. You will discover how Ruth's simple step into Boaz's field placed her directly in the genealogy of Jesus, how Boaz's lavish generosity points to Christ as our Kinsman-Redeemer, and how to build simple daily practices that help you recognize God's holy presence in your routines.
