Olgah opens up about comparing her prayer life to others and feeling like she wasn't doing enough.\n\nTogether, they explore prayer as a conversation rather than a performance, why reading the Bible can feel difficult, the fear of questioning God, and how to navigate doubt without losing sight of His Word.\n\nBecause getting closer to God isn't about pretending to have it all together. It's about showing up as you are.\n\n\nWhat shifted you? 🤍","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/v6J5Ui3zLDWAEr7Pujdh8a07slXwre19F4I6k8JKbO0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZjRj/OTJiZjY1M2FmYzRj/ZmJjMTJhYTVlNDll/NDEzMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
