What kind of God are we really talking about?
Is He distant… demanding… unpredictable?
Or is He closer—and kinder—than we’ve been led to believe?
In this episode of myPodQuest, we take an honest look at the images of God many of us carry—and where they came from. From the “cosmic rule-keeper” to the “harsh judge,” we explore how personal experiences, religious culture, and fear can distort our view of God.
Then we look at Jesus.
Not as a buffer between us and an angry Father—but as the clearest picture of God’s heart. Through stories of compassion, pursuit, sacrifice, and grace, we ask whether God might actually be safe to trust.
If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about God’s character, struggled with fear-based faith, or wondered if there’s more to belief than performance and pressure—this conversation is for you.
No hype.
No manipulation.
Just an honest question:
What is God actually like?

Pastor Kip , You really gave a point that I have struggled with for so long. How do I know how to love the Father enough when that has not been my experience. I compare it to the love of my grandchildren which ARE MY HEART ! I would literally die for them ! I do love the Lord , or I say I do , but the heart emotion is different, not as strong, and I struggle with that . Could you help me to understand? Thanks
