Our Union with God Our Father

In this teaching, Alan Platt unpacks one of the most liberating truths of the Christian faith: there is no more distance between us and God. Through Christ, reconciliation is not something we achieve through striving and performance — it is something we awaken to. Drawing deeply from the Gospel of John and the letters of Paul, Alan reveals that Jesus came not to change God’s mind about us, but to change our minds about God — inviting us out of an orphaned, performance-driven faith and into the profound reality of being beloved children at home in the heart of the Father. This truth reshapes everything: how we see ourselves, how we pray, and how we worship. Rather than begging God to draw near, we are invited to celebrate the nearness that is already ours. It is a teaching that reorients worship from striving to celebration, and transforms prayer from distant petition into intimate communion with the Father who has made His home in us.
