Send us a text

Have you ever looked at a text message, meant to reply, but waited so long that it eventually felt too awkward to say anything at all? We call it "ghosting." While it’s a frustrating habit in our friendships, many of us have quietly brought that same "fade" into our spiritual lives.

In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we’re diving into the quiet art of ghosting God. Most of us don't experience a loss of faith as a sudden cliff; we experience it as a slow, silent drift. We look at why our obsession with productivity and efficiency often acts as a buffer to intimacy, and why we use busyness to hide from being truly known by our Creator.

In this episode, we explore:

• The "Itching Ear" Algorithm: How digital consumption replaces spiritual conviction.
• The Martha Trap: Why being "busy for God" is often a way of avoiding God.
• The Garden of Eden: Why God’s question, "Where are you?" isn't a trap, but a hopeful invitation.
• Breaking the Silence: Practical, small steps to "reply to the thread" and restore your prayer life without the shame.

If your prayer life feels like a cold text thread and your Bible is gathering dust, this conversation is for you. It’s time to move past being "God-adjacent" and step back into the rhythm of a rooted faith.

Scripture Mentioned: * Genesis 3 (The original ghosting)

• Luke 10 (Mary & Martha)
• Psalm 139 (The God who knows us)
• 2 Timothy 4:3 (Itching ears)

Key Takeaway: God isn't a petty friend waiting for an apology; He’s a Father waiting on the porch. The ghosting ends the moment you stop hiding and simply acknowledge where you are.
