How to Have Deep Intimacy with God

Are you tired of just hearing about God and ready to actually experience Him in your daily life? 

In this powerful message, Krista tackles one of the most important questions every believer faces: How do we move from simply knowing about God to having a deeply intimate, transformative relationship with Him?

Drawing from the life of Moses—the only prophet described as knowing God "face to face"—Krista reveals three simple but essential practices that can revolutionize your relationship with God. While these principles are beautifully simple, they require intentional effort and responsiveness. Using the powerful analogy of "playing tennis" with God, she explains how genuine intimacy requires us to not just receive from God, but to actively respond to His bids for connection in our everyday lives.

Krista gets refreshingly honest about her own journey, sharing how she and her husband discovered they were "dropping the ball" in their marriage by failing to respond to each other's attempts at connection—and how many of us are unknowingly doing the same thing with God. She unpacks the three transformative practices Moses modeled: doing what God tells you to do (even when it doesn't make sense), telling God specifically what you need (not vague prayers that protect us from disappointment), and sharing honestly with Him how you really feel (yes, even the messy, doubting, angry feelings).

This message is for anyone who's ever felt like their prayers hit the ceiling, who wonders if God really cares about the details of their life, or who was raised believing you can't question God or share your real feelings with Him. Krista dismantles these misconceptions with biblical truth and personal testimony, showing how God actually desires radical honesty from us—not performance or perfectionism. Whether you're struggling with unanswered questions, buried emotions, or simply want to experience more of God's presence and power, this teaching offers a clear roadmap to the deeper relationship you've been longing for.

Just like the Old Testament character, Job who said, "I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes," you, too, can move from secondhand faith to firsthand encounter. 

God is waiting to meet you powerfully—you just need to respond.
