Exodus | Week 6

In this episode, Pastor Nathan Gelsinger unpacks the transformation that happens when we spend time with God. Looking at Moses’ encounter on Mount Sinai, he challenges us to go beyond routine faith and truly seek God’s presence.

The same is true for us: when we consistently seek Him, His presence shapes our lives in ways we may not even notice at first.

In this episode, you will:

• Discover how time with God changes everything—your heart, relationships, and perspective.
• Learn why some resist God's presence and how to fully embrace His work in your life.
• Understand how Jesus removes the veil so we can experience God’s glory firsthand.
