Richard Blackaby joins Steve Adams for a powerful conversation about spiritual maturity, daily rhythms with God, and what it really means to experience God in everyday life—not just in the extraordinary moments.

Drawing from the legacy of the bestselling study Experiencing God and the new release Experiencing God in Everyday Life, Richard shares deeply personal stories about his father, Henry Blackaby, spiritual formation, abiding in Christ, and how ordinary believers can learn to recognize God’s presence in the middle of everyday life.

Together, Steve and Richard discuss:

Why many Christians feel disconnected from God in daily life

The danger of reducing faith to activity instead of relationship

The role of spiritual rhythms and habits in transformation

The importance of spiritual companionship

How suffering and disruption shape maturity

The next generation’s hunger for authentic faith

Why most of life is lived in the “valleys,” not the mountaintops

This conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical insight for anyone longing to walk more closely with Jesus in the ordinary rhythms of life.
