In this episode, we sit down with Sam Edwards, lead pastor of The Gathering at Faith Assembly in the Hudson Valley. Sam recounts formative supernatural moments, such as his grandmother praying after his hand was crushed and later feeling God’s presence in prayer and explains why people may not “feel” God due to hidden belief blockages like shame. They discuss reverence vs. relationship, discerning God’s voice through Scripture and other ways, and how obedience leads to greater authority without sliding into condemnation. The conversation covers repentance and confession, money as a tool, prosperity-gospel pitfalls, tithing as trust and stewardship, spiritual warfare and deliverance, and practical disciplines like intimacy with God for marketplace leadership.
