Have you ever felt like you simply don't know how to grow closer to God? Same. For years I lived out a surface-level faith, I had the church attendance and the prayers that felt like they hit the ceiling. But something was missing. That's exactly why Relate exists. In this podcast, we're going deep into who God is, how He relates to us, and how we can move from a distant faith into one that feels alive. Each episode is short, honest, and built to give you something real to walk away with. It's time to Relate.

    Episode 6: Obedience to the Lord

    Have you ever hit the end of yourself only to realize God was never part of the plan? In this episode we walk through Isaiah 30 when the Israelites struggle with just that as they look to Eygpt for "shelter" and "protection" instead of God. Disobedience doesn't always look like blatant sin, sometimes its simply selective hearing that turns into trusting our own voice over God's. It's never too late to return to the Lord, He waits eagerly to answer you! Follow on Instagram for more content @gii.vandame

    Episode 5: The Quiet You've Been Avoiding

    You're not spiritually dry. You're just distracted. In this episode of Relate, we're talking about the noise, the scrolling, the advice-seeking, the endless stream of content we reach for when life feels overwhelming and what it's actually costing us relationally with God. Gigi shares honestly about a season at the end of last year when she hit her limit, surrendered the noise for almost three months, and discovered that the clarity and direction she had been desperately searching for was waiting for her in the quiet the whole time. He hasn't gone silent. He's still whispering. The question is whether we're willing to get quiet enough to hear Him.

    Episode 4: Proximity

    Who are you becoming and does the answer have anything to do with who you're spending time with? In this episode of Relate, Gigi digs into one of the most transformative ideas in Scripture: that closeness with God isn't just a spiritual discipline, it's what actually changes you. Drawing from Colossians 3:9-10 and Romans 12:2, she unpacks two Greek words, neos and anakainoo, that reveal something stunning about how God works in us. Spoiler: the renewal is already happening. And it's not your job to manufacture it. Gigi also shares a personal story about the season in her own life when proximity to the right people changed everything and what it cost her to make that shift. This episode will challenge you to audit your circle, examine what you're close to, and remember that transformation isn't about trying harder. It's about staying close enough to let Him do His work.

    Episode 2: Do You Know His Name?

    When God reveals Himself to Moses in Exodus 34, He doesn't start with His power, He starts with His name. In the ancient world, a name was your identity, your autobiography in one word. So when God speaks His name over Moses, He's doing something deeply personal. In this episode, we dig into what that moment reveals about who God really is. His baseline emotion, His character, and how knowing Him by name can actually transform the way you think. He wants to be known. Do you know His name?

    Episode 1: The Essence of Relationship with God

    What does it really mean to relate, to God, to others, to yourself? In today's episode we breakdown the essence of relationship with God and others. Through the use of Scripture and the original languages of the Bible, we unpack the meaning behind the podcast's name and why it carries more weight than the English language can hold. Through a beautiful word study of the original Hebrew and Greek, we discover that the Bible doesn't use a single word for "relationship" because relationship was never meant to be a box to check. It was always meant to be a way of life. Grab your tea. Get cozy on the couch. It's time to Relate.
