Summary

What does it really look like to seek God in the secret place as a way of life? Bob Sorge shares how decades of vocal injury and physical suffering drew him deeper into intimacy with Jesus. Rather than walking away from his calling, Bob chose to lean in—learning to meet God in silence.
Bob and Kaleb explore how the secret place forms men into spiritual leaders, how a father’s hunger for God can shape the atmosphere of a home, and why devotion rooted in desire—not duty—is what sustains us through every season.
If you’re a husband, father, or ministry leader longing for something more than surface-level faith, this episode offers a personal call back to the presence of God.

What You’ll Learn:

The difference between duty-driven prayer and desire-fueled devotion
How suffering can press us into God's presence—not away from it
What it looks like to seek God in seasons of confusion, silence, or pain
Why secret place discipline flows best from personal hunger
How to teach your kids to build their own relationship with Jesus
Why scheduled time with God is worth fighting for
