This podcast tackles the experiential side of Christianity with teaching, interviews, and question and answer episodes.

What happens when the God who loves you most is the One you wound the deepest? In Grieving the Holy Spirit, Part 2, Michael Durham, founder and director of Real Truth Matters, presses this sobering truth even further—revealing that when we grieve the Spirit, the greatest loss is not His presence, but our experience of it. The silence, the distance, the fading joy—these are not accidents, but the painful effects of a heart that has grown dull to the One who dwells within.

This message calls you to face what many avoid: the real consequences of a careless walk with God. From broken fellowship to spiritual dryness and lost sensitivity, you’ll be urged to examine your heart and respond rightly—with godly sorrow, repentance, and renewed devotion. Yet even in the warning, there is hope. If your heart feels distant, this is not the end—it is an invitation. Grieve over grieving God, and rediscover the joy, peace, and nearness that come from walking closely with Him once again.
