Step Into Bold Faith: Grow closer to God & Walk with Jesus

4. Is God Pursing Me?

September 28, 2025 • Whitney Gardner • Episode 4

In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I’m sharing my personal testimony of how I began to recognize God’s pursuit in my own life, and what it looks like to open your heart to His presence.

From subtle nudges to undeniable moments, God shows up in ways we don’t always expect. I’ll share the experiences that helped me see His hand guiding and protecting me, even when I wasn’t fully following Him.

I’ll talk about how to stay open to His presence, notice the ways He’s working in your life, and begin building a deeper relationship with Jesus. I’ll also share how community, worship, and personal testimony can encourage you as you step forward in bold faith.

If You’ve Been Asking Questions Like…

How do I know if God is pursuing me?
What are the signs of God’s presence in my life?
How do I stay open and aware of His guidance?
Can personal testimonies really strengthen my faith?
What small steps can I take to grow closer to God?

Then this episode is for you!
