Do you know God—or do you just know about Him?

In this episode of Baby Steps with Christ, host Leigh Trupin explores the difference between believing in God and knowing Him personally. Many people have beliefs about God, attend church, read the Bible, and learn information about Him, yet still feel disconnected from Him and unsure what a personal relationship with God actually looks like.

If you've ever wondered:

• What is the difference between believing in God and knowing Him personally?

• Why do I believe in God but still feel disconnected from Him?

• How do I move from knowing about God to actually knowing Him personally?

This episode will help you understand why knowing God is relational, not informational, and how a personal relationship with Him develops over time through consistent interaction, not just information.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why believing in God and knowing God personally are not the same thing.

• The difference between learning about God and having a personal relationship with Him.

• Why information alone does not create a connection with God.

Do you feel pressured to trust God immediately? Do you believe you must force feelings of faith even when you don't feel them?

In this honest episode of Baby Steps with Christ, host Leigh Trupin shares why building trust in God is a gradual process that cannot be forced by religious pressure or emotional expectations. Many people struggle with trusting God when they don’t yet feel close to Him, and this episode speaks directly to that tension between faith and experience.

Instead of demanding instant spiritual performance, Leigh explains how real trust in God develops over time through relationship, consistency, and seeing His character revealed in everyday life. Over the years, she witnessed God keep His specific promises to her and this transformed her heart and built genuine, lasting trust.

Rather than relying on rigid religious formulas or advanced teachings, this episode explores how stepping back and starting with a simple foundation helps you actually get to know God personally and grow in real faith.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• How can I build a real relationship with God at my own pace?

This episode offers an honest perspective on building trust with God, releasing the pressure to “feel” trust instantly, and learning how relationship with God grows through small, consistent baby steps.
