What if the greatest obstacle to experiencing God’s love isn’t what you know — but what your heart has learned to believe?

In this opening episode of the Ever After Podcast, we explore the disconnect so many of us feel between what we know about God in our heads and what we actually experience in our hearts.

Many of us believe God loves us–we’ve read the Scriptures, sung the songs, and held tightly to the truth. And yet, His love can still feel distant, hard to access, or just out of reach.

Through Anita’s personal story of struggle, grief and healing, we begin to uncover why this gap exists—and how God meets us not just in truth we understand, but in love we can truly experience.

This episode invites you into a deeper, more experiential knowing of God’s love—one that reaches beyond information and into the places of your heart that long to be seen, known and restored.
