What does it really mean to have an intimate relationship with Christ? Is it possible to know Scripture, attend church, pray, and still feel far from God? And what happens when disappointment, hurt, trauma, or life’s distractions make it difficult to trust, connect, or feel His presence? In this powerful conversation, Drea sits down with Pastor Allen S. Cooper, pastor, preacher, teacher, and founder of Yearning After Christ Ministry, to explore what it means to move beyond simply knowing about Christ to truly knowing Him. Together, they talk about vulnerability, trust, obedience, disappointment with God, understanding Scripture in context, spiritual growth, and what intimacy with Christ looks like in everyday life—not just inside the church. Pastor Cooper also shares wisdom from more than two decades of preaching and ministry, including what has deepened his own relationship with Christ and what he would say to someone who feels like they have drifted away from God. If you've ever thought, “I want to be closer to God, but I don't know where to begin,” this conversation is for you. Maybe intimacy with Christ isn't about having all the answers. Maybe it begins with simply showing up. Listen in. Reflect. And have the conversation that matters. 🎙️ Conversations with DreaFaith. Growth.
