Knowing God Intimately with Olesya Kayton

Knowing God Intimately with Olesya Kayton

Olesya Kayton
Religião e Espiritualidade

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.

  • 26 - 005 | You Didn't Cause This: From a Mom of an Addict with Tara Norbeck

    If addiction has touched your family, you already know that no amount of love, prayer, or trying harder seems to be enough. And somewhere in the exhaustion of it all, the enemy whispers that you caused this, that you should have done something differently, that you are alone in this. My friend, that is a lie. Today I am sitting down with Tara Norbeck, a mom who has walked the hardest road a parent can walk, and she is here to tell you what is actually true. Her new book Dear Mom of an Addict was written as a love letter from one hurting parent to another, and this conversation carries that same warmth and grace from start to finish.

    Here is a peek at what we talk about in this episode:

    Tara shares how she spent the first year of her son's addiction hiding it from nearly everyone We dig into the three C's of addiction Tara walks us through the powerful journaling practice she uses when the enemy's lies feel loudest We talk about what it looks like to find "shield bearers," the people in your life  Tara prays a beautiful surrender prayer over every listener who is carrying guilt and shame that was never theirs to hold in the first place.

    Friend, whether you love someone in the middle of addiction, you are the one in the middle of it, or you simply know the weight of a valley that will not let up, this conversation is for you. True hope is not wishful thinking. It only comes from the Lord. And as Tara reminds us, you are not alone.

  • 25 - 004 | From Rock Bottom to Lost No More with Ashley Martin

    There is something so sacred about a woman who refuses to stay hidden. My friend Ashley Martin is back on the podcast today, and this time she brought her whole heart with her. Ashley is a recovering alcoholic, a woman of deep faith, and now a published author. Her new book, Lost No More: A Daily Path to God in Your Deepest Valleys, is the kind of vulnerable, gutting, beautiful story that makes you feel less alone and more seen by God. I am so glad she is here.

    What we talk about in this episode:

    How hitting rock bottom became the greatest gift Ashley ever received The "God hole" we all carry and what women quietly use to fill it Why surrender is not a one-time prayer but a daily act of letting go The three pillars Ashley uses every single day to stay close to God What to do when even your best spiritual habits stop working

    If you have ever felt lost, ashamed, or like God is somehow far away, this conversation is for you. Ashley is not polished or pretending, and that is exactly what makes her words so powerful. She is proof that God does not need you to have it together to use you.
