Italian term or phrase: intimistico

Quando giriamo attorno a Cristo solo in modo intimistico...

this is part of a sermon. The speaker then goes on to list other things which he considers are a "bad sign". Suggestions for the whole phrase would be much appreciated!

Cheers

English translation:when we keep Christ to ourselves

Explanation:
I think you have to take the clause as a whole rather than looking for a one-to-one translation of "intimistico". This is just one suggestion for how you can do that.
