Why Even Jesus Doesn't Stop the Ache (And What That Means for Your Faith)

Why does nothing feel like enough?

You did everything right. You chose well. You married a good man or woman. You built community. You sought God. You healed. You showed up.

And yet… something still aches.

Not because you're ungrateful.

Not because you chose wrong.

Not because your faith is weak.

But because you were made for something this world can't give you.

In this episode, I'm talking about the disillusionment no one prepares you for—the moment you realize that even Jesus doesn't make the longing stop the way you thought He would. Not because He's insufficient, but because you were made for unmediated communion with God, and right now, you're experiencing Him through mediation.

This isn't cynicism. It's clarity.

And if you've ever felt like something's missing even when everything looks right… this is for you.

What we cover:

• Why knowing God makes the ache worse, not better
• Why we were made for unmediated communion with God (and what that means)
• The theology and psychology behind "eternity in the heart"
• The biblical truth about longing in Romans 8 and Ecclesiastes
• How to discern between healthy longing and relational dysfunction
• What God actually gives (it's not what you think)
• What peace really looks like when the ache doesn't go away

This episode is for you if:

• You feel guilty for not being "satisfied in Christ"
• You love your husband but still feel lonely
• You're questioning if something's wrong with you
• You've been told "Jesus is enough" but it doesn't feel true

You're not broken. You're human.

And this conversation might be the permission you didn't know you needed.
