Spiritual Drift - Doug's Story

About this episode

The episode discusses Doug's experience with spiritual drift and how he reconnects with God.

Spiritual Drift - Doug's Story Spiritual drift is a real possibility for any one of us. Our faith becomes second nature. Then routine. Then blah. And then ... Apathy creeps in, slowly but persistently until we find ourselves distant and disconnected from God. In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast, I share the story of a regular listener who grew up going to church, was saved at 11, and never didn't consider himself a Christian. But spiritual drift slowly moved him away from God. He shares what caused the drift for him and what brought the drift to an end.
