  • 14 | How Brother Lawrence Found God in the Ordinary—and How, This Summer, You Can Too (+ To-Do List Journaling) - Summer Journaling Series
    Aug 5 2025

    What does it really mean to experience God’s presence—in the ordinary moments of your day?

    In this episode, we explore the life of Brother Lawrence, a 17th-century French monk who found deep connection with God while cooking meals and repairing shoes. His simple, humble practice of turning everyday moments into conversations with God continues to speak powerfully today.

    I share how this idea has shaped my own spiritual life this summer, especially through a journaling method I call To-Do List Journaling—a simple way to turn your distractions, worries, and tasks into meaningful, grace-filled prayer.

    You’ll also hear a personal story about how God used a friend to speak into something in my journal, reminding me that His presence meets us right in the middle of real life—even when we feel spiritually scattered or unsure. Hope this episode blesses you!

    Jul 29 2025

    Is your summer filled with people—but lacking peace? Whether your days are packed with family, vacations, social events, or just nonstop noise, it can feel impossible to find quiet moments with God. But what if connection with Him wasn’t only found in solitude?

    • How God can speak to you while you're with others

    • Ways to cultivate spiritual awareness in community settings

    • A fresh perspective on why certain people might be triggering you—and what God might be revealing

    • Simple, practical ways to carve out quiet with God (yes, even with kids around!)

    • Why the people in your life might be God’s invitation—not a block—to deeper connection with Him

    Whether you're hosting barbecues, chasing toddlers, or traveling with extended family, this episode will encourage you: God is speaking, even here. And you don’t have to wait for fall to reconnect with Him.

  • 12 | 4 Biblical Ways God Speaks to Us Through Nature - Summer Journaling Series
    Jul 22 2025

    We’re in week 3 of our summer series on hearing God, and today we’re heading outside. In this episode, we explore how God uses His creation to speak to our hearts, calm our minds, and draw us into deeper connection with Him.

    We’ll answer two big questions:

    1. How does God speak through nature?

    2. How can we position ourselves to hear Him more clearly in natural settings?

    From the biblical foundation of natural law to the practical science of peace through green spaces, this episode is your reminder to slow down, step outside, and listen for God's still, small voice.

  • 9 | Why Journaling Works: Science-Backed Benefits for Christians Seeking Peace and Clarity
    Jul 1 2025

    Did you know journaling can actually rewire your brain? In this episode, we’re digging into the fascinating (but approachable!) neuroscience behind journaling—and how it supports your emotional, mental, and even spiritual health.

    We’ll look at three key areas of the brain—the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex—and how putting pen to paper helps each one work better together. Plus, you’ll learn why handwriting beats typing, and how journaling can help with stress, memory, emotional regulation, and hearing God more clearly.

  • 8 | Can I Trust My Desires? How to Discern God's Voice in What You Want
    Jun 24 2025

    Is God speaking to you through something you want—or is your heart leading you astray? In this episode of Hearing God Daily, we’re diving deep into the complex and often confusing topic of desire. Can you trust your heart? Should you follow your longings when making big decisions—like pursuing a calling, choosing a partner, or stepping into a new season?

    • What Scripture says about our hearts and desires—before and after salvation

    • Why our desires can sometimes be trustworthy, and other times misleading

    • How to practically discern whether a desire is from God

    • The tension of waiting, surrendering, or acting on what you want

    • Real-life encouragement to walk closely with God in the midst of uncertainty

    With biblical insight, and practical tools, this conversation will help you grow in wisdom and confidence as you learn to hear God’s voice—even in your desires.
