About Firmly Planted | Restore Peace through Christian Meditation & Yoga

Do you struggle to carve out time to just be with God? Are you looking for simple, practical ways to deepen your faith? Do you desire to renew your mind with God’s word but feel overwhelmed with where to start?  You are in the right place. In this podcast you will find guided faith-based practices of prayer, meditation, and movement that can help you calm your mind, strengthen your faith, and rest in God’s presence. My mission is to support Christian women who want to spend time with God, find emotional healing, and grow in their faith. If you’re ready to connect with God with your whole self - mind, body, and spirit - then this podcast is for you. Hey, I’m Laurie. I’m a proud wife, mom, grandma and follower of Jesus. I spent a lot of years weighed down with the busy-ness and stresses of life and mentally disconnected from my body. Even though I was a Christian, I was struggling mentally, emotionally, or physically. God eventually led me to discover faith-based yoga and meditation. My life has been forever changed. I absolutely love worshiping God and praying with my whole body, mind, and spirit and can’t wait to share it with you. If you are ready to step off the merry-go-round of life for a bit and experience the presence of God, I invite you to join me in some of these faith-filled practices. Let’s renew our minds with biblical truth while finding postures of prayer with our bodies - whether that is in stillness, walking or stretching. Luke 10:27 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind.” So put your phone on “do not disturb”, take a few nice slow breaths, and let’s get started.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
