Hi I’m Lizzie Oakes and in 'Where Do You Find God' I talk with my guests about the ways they encounter God in their everyday lives.
Acts C 17 v 27 says “God intended that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us”.
God is close to all of us, what is often missing is our awareness of his presence.
One of the joys of making this podcast is as I ask my guests about the ways they encounter God often right in front of me they start to encounter him. Suddenly their tone of voice changes, their speech slows right down and a look of understanding comes across their face.
As the scripture promises, if we reach out for him, we will find him.
