We often live as practical deists — believing God exists somewhere but not necessarily here, in this moment, in this room, in this pain. This week we take seriously a God who is inescapably present.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Jackie explores God's omnipresence — His being fully present everywhere at all times, not spread thin but wholly present in every place. How does this differ from the 'God is kind of everywhere in a vague sense' version we often settle for?
2.The Psalmist says, 'Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence?' (Psalm 139:7). He is not frightened by this — he is comforted. What makes God's inescapability a comfort rather than a threat?
3.Jackie is honest about seasons of spiritual darkness — moments when God feels absent. How does the doctrine of omnipresence speak into that experience? How do you hold 'God is always present' alongside 'I cannot feel Him'?
