24 | Want to Hear God More Clearly? The Power of a Consistent Quiet Time

Do you ever wonder if God is speaking to you… or if it’s just your own thoughts? Have you ever wished you could recognize His voice more clearly in your everyday life? Or maybe you’ve felt discouraged because your quiet time doesn’t seem “deep enough” to make a difference? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about recognizing God’s voice through consistent time in His presence so you can feel more confident hearing from Him in your everyday life. Inspired by a powerful story from Priscilla Shirer, I’m opening up about my own journey of wanting to hear God more clearly, the seasons where I felt unsure, and how simple, imperfect mornings spent in Bible study and prayer slowly changed things over time. If you’re a busy mom who wants a deeper relationship with God but feels overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure where to start, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up — even when growth feels slow. You’ll be reminded that knowing God’s voice doesn’t usually happen through one big spiritual moment, but through daily relationship, accumulated time with Him, and learning to recognize His character little by little.

23 | Why Starting Small Might Actually Increase Your Chances of Creating a Consistent Habit

Have you ever felt excited to start a morning routine… only to give up a few days later because it felt too overwhelming?  Do you feel like your quiet time “doesn’t count” unless you’re spending a full hour in Bible study and prayer? What if starting smaller is actually the thing that will help you stay consistent? In this episode, I’m sharing why starting small with your morning routine can actually help you build consistency so you can create a life-giving habit that feels realistic for the season you’re in. We’re talking about why small habits are easier to repeat, how they help remove overwhelm, and why consistent small steps can begin shaping your identity as someone who starts her day with God. If you’ve been struggling to stick with a morning routine because it feels too big, too complicated, or too unrealistic, this episode will encourage you to simplify your approach and focus on building momentum one small step at a time. My hope is that you’ll walk away feeling less pressure to do everything perfectly and more confidence to simply begin.
