I Knew About God… But I Didn’t Know Him | Mary Ann Stewart

You can spend your whole life around God… and still not actually know Him.

On this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with her mom to talk about a reality that so many people quietly wrestle with.

She went to church. She believed in God. She followed what she was taught. But deep down, there was still a distance she couldn’t explain. She didn’t know how to get a hold of Him… and she didn’t realize she was missing the very thing she was searching for.

Until everything broke.

In her own words, it was in that place of emptiness—when nothing else could fill what she felt inside—that she finally cried out for truth. And God met her there.

Not through religion.

Not through tradition.

But through His Word.

What followed wasn’t just a small shift—it was a complete transformation. From confusion to clarity. From striving to surrender. From knowing about God… to actually walking with Him.

In this episode, Shannon and her mom talk about:

– what it looks like to grow up around faith but still feel disconnected

– the difference between religion and relationship

– how the Word of God became real and alive

– and how everything changes when you realize you have direct access to God through Jesus

This episode isn’t about where someone came from.

It’s about what God revealed… and how His truth changed everything.

If you’ve ever felt like you believe in God… but still feel far from Him… you’re not alone.

And you’re not stuck.

God is not hiding from you.

He’s closer than you think—and He’s inviting you to know Him.

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)
