If you're real, where's the evidence? Why don't we see the same miracles as in pre-Jesus times? Why can't I hear what you want me to do with my life?\nTim Beilharz kicks off Soul Revival's \"God, Why?\" series by tackling divine clarity and hiddenness. But first, three ground rules: God is a person, not a concept. Discipleship is about faith, not Bible trivia. And faith formation is intentionally inefficient—we live in a world of instant answers, but God doesn't work like ChatGPT.\nTim explores what God has already done: the heavens declare his glory, the scriptures tell his story, and Jesus is the exact representation of God's being. But then he challenges faulty assumptions. Do signs make believers? The feeding of the 5,000 proves otherwise—thousands saw the miracle and walked away. Does God have a specific plan for every decision? No—God's plan is simpler: love God, love others, grow in the fruits of the Spirit.\nIs God really hidden? Tim flips it: God is not hiding—we're distracted. We're chasing promotions, scrolling screens, seeking to be known rather than seeking him. The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.  God wants to know you more than you want to know him. He's not far—we're just caught up in smaller things.\nThe challenge? Study the world. Read the scriptures. Consider Jesus. Live by the Spirit. Ask, search, knock.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/VbbeNx8dwFPBwwsJaPIEyucZZMK5J4MD4n5mvpDSfco/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83YjZk/MmMyOGIyMDc1YjMw/NDQyZGZhNTJjMWU0/MmRmZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
