I'm Olesya Kayton, and Knowing God Intimately is born from my own messy, beautiful journey of learning what authentic relationship with God really looks like, especially in the hard places. This isn't a podcast about having it all together. It's about showing up honestly before God, removing the barriers we've built between us and His heart, and discovering that He wants intimacy with us even more than we want it with Him. Together, we'll explore: How to pray when you don't have the words What to do when God feels silent or distant Breaking free from shame and religious performance Finding God in grief, doubt, and everyday life Biblical models of deep spiritual intimacy Practical disciplines that create space for God's presence Whether you're in a season of loss, wrestling with questions, or simply longing for more, you'll find a friend here who gets it. We'll laugh, cry, and discover together that intimacy with God isn't reserved for spiritual giants, it's available to every hungry heart. Join me weekly as we learn to know the heart of the God who's been pursuing us all along.
