Does God actually speak to us — and if so, how? In this follow-up conversation on restorative prayer, Pastor Nic and Christina Sekutowski take on one of the questions that quietly unravels a lot of people's faith: why God so often feels absent, even when we're actively seeking him. Pastor Nic draws from High Point's Advent series on the elusiveness of God to reframe the whole question — arguing that God's hiddenness isn't a flaw in the system, it's a feature designed to draw us deeper. The conversation untangles the confusion between dramatic charismatic experiences and the quieter but equally real ways the Holy Spirit works through illumination, conviction, and insight — the very things that happen in a restorative prayer session. If you've ever walked away from a time of prayer wondering whether anything actually happened, or whether you're just talking to yourself, this episode offers a theologically grounded and surprisingly freeing answer.
