“God Is Findable: A Real Conversation on Pain, Purpose, and Hearing His Voice”

In this episode of Greater Formation & Power, Coach Tom sits down with Sarah Shaw—a creative entrepreneur and emerging leader with a passion to help her generation encounter God in a real and personal way.

Sarah shares her journey from a questioning, multi-denominational upbringing to a deep, hard-won faith shaped through suffering, identity crisis, and honest wrestling with God. After a severe autoimmune health breakdown in her teens, she faced years of pain, isolation, and confusion—forcing her to confront deeper questions of identity, purpose, and God’s presence.

Through that season, Sarah began learning how to hear God’s voice, steward hardship, and move beyond surface-level Christianity into authentic relationship. Today, she leads creative and entrepreneurial initiatives that explore the intersection of theology, psychology, and creativity—helping others “wrestle well” and discover that God is truly accessible.

This conversation explores:

• How suffering can become a catalyst for identity and formation
• What it actually means to hear God’s voice
• The danger of shallow, cultural Christianity
• Why “wrestling with God” is essential for real faith
• The importance of being willing to step back, heal, and be “benched” in leadership
• Practical ways to encounter God personally in everyday life

If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or distant from God—this episode will help you re-engage with honesty, depth, and hope.

👉 God is not distant. He is findable.
