Where I’ve Been: My Season of Consecration, Obedience, and Hearing God Clearly

In this intimate check-in episode of Girl, Date the Good Guy, Emily shares a heartfelt update after stepping away from the podcast for a season of consecration. If you’ve ever felt led to pull back, get quiet, and reconnect with God—but didn’t fully understand why—this conversation will meet you right where you are. Emily opens up about what the last few weeks have looked like behind the scenes: a season of deep spiritual growth, surrender, and transformation. What started as a step of obedience turned into a powerful encounter with God—one marked by stripping away old patterns, renewing identity, and receiving fresh clarity and direction. This episode is a reminder that seasons of stillness are not empty—they are sacred. You’ll also hear a special announcement about a book being written in this very season, inspired by what God is revealing in the quiet, and deeply connected to the real, raw journeys of the women in The Good Guy Society community. Rooted in Jeremiah 33:3, this episode speaks to the power of calling on God and receiving personal, specific direction for your life. Your story is not a copy of someone else’s—God is writing something intentional just for you, but it requires you to lean in and listen. This is your invitation to slow down, seek Him, and trust what He is doing—even when it’s unseen. ✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode: * What a true season of consecration looks like in real life * Why God sometimes calls you into silence and separation * How to hear God more clearly in the quiet * Letting go of old patterns, mindsets, and emotional attachments * Trusting God’s timing when you feel “in between” * Why your personal story and journey with God matters * The role of the Holy Spirit as your true Teacher and guide 💬 Start Your Royal Training Here. ⭐ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts to help more women find this message. 👍 Like and follow the show so you never miss an episode. ✨ Share this episode with a sister who needs it. 🛡️ Join the Royal Guard community for deeper growth, accountability, and faith-based support: 👉 www.facebook.com/groups/girldatethegoodguy/ 💌 Connect with Emily: hello@girldatethegoodguy.com
