Nearer Than You Know — A Podcast Pitch

The vision

We’re dismantling a lie that has kept people from God.

The lie is this: that God is somewhere above you, watching from a distance, waiting for you to get it together before you can come close. That there is a gap between where you are and where He is — and closing it requires performance, perfection, or some version of yourself you haven’t managed to become yet.

The pillars of the show

Presence over performance

God is not waiting for a better version of you. He is already within you, already near, already present in the mess and the ordinary.

Honesty over polish

We say the real thing. Doubt is welcome. Questions are welcome. The conversation is more important than the image.

Intimacy over religion

A God who is slow to anger, quick to mercy, and genuinely wants to be known — not performed to, not appeased. Known.

The theme

Unveiled.

The distance people feel from God was never His doing. Religion built a veil — of performance, of shame, of formality, of fear. This podcast pulls it back, episode by episode, conversation by conversation, revealing a God who was always close, always present, always within us.

Presence over performance Always within us No veil. No distance. Real faith. Real talk.

The format

Chill. Honest. Homey.

Two people. A real conversation. No scripts, no sermons, no performance. Just the kind of talk about God that you’d have with a friend who tells the truth.

Two

Hosts

Two voices in genuine conversation — not interview, not panel. A real back-and-forth where neither person has all the answers.

~45

Minutes per episode

Long enough to go somewhere real. Short enough to listen on a commute, a walk, or a quiet evening at home.

Weekly

Release cadence

One episode every week. Consistent, dependable — building a community that shows up because they know we will.

Script or agenda

We come with a topic, a question, or a theme. Where it goes is the point. The best moments always happen off-plan.

Real

Questions welcomed

Doubt belongs here. Disagreement belongs here. The God we’re talking about is not threatened by honest questions.

All

Platforms

Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and social. The conversation goes where the people are.

Who this is for

People who love God — and people who want to.

Nearer Than You Know is for anyone who has ever felt like God was just out of reach — and anyone who suspects that feeling might not have been telling the truth.

The believer

Faithful but quietly frustrated with religion.

Loves God but has grown tired of performance-based faith
Wants depth without the gatekeeping
Has questions that feel too honest for church
Craves community that talks about faith like real life
Is ready for a God who is close, not distant and demanding

The seeker

Curious, cautious, not ready to rule anything out.

Spiritually curious but put off by organised religion
Has had experiences that made God feel real — and others that didn’t
Wants honest conversation, not recruitment
Open to a picture of God that doesn’t require cleaning up first
Looking for a space that won’t judge where they are right now

A message to a potential co-host

We’re looking for someone who believes God is nearer than people think — and wants to spend 45 minutes a week proving it.

What you bring

You are someone who talks about God the way you’d talk about anything real — honestly, without the religious performance, and with genuine love for the person on the other side of the conversation. You don’t have to be a theologian. You have to be someone who has wrestled with faith and kept showing up.

What this looks like

One recording session per week. A shared commitment to the vision. Two voices that complement each other — not echo chambers, not debate partners, but two people genuinely thinking through faith together in public. Chemistry matters. Honesty matters more.

What we’re building

A community — not just a listenership. People who find each other through a shared conviction that God was never as far as they were told. A conversation that outlasts any single episode, grows across platforms, and becomes a space where honest faith is normal. The show is the seed. The community is what grows from it.

What we’re not

We are not a preaching platform. We are not a denominational show. We are not looking for someone who has all the answers — we are looking for someone who is genuinely curious, genuinely faithful, and genuinely committed to pulling the veil back together.

“If you’ve been waiting for someone to say it’s time — this is us saying it’s time. Let’s build this together.”

Get in touch

Nearer Than You Know is looking for its other voice.
