Disclaimer: I will be talking about Santa’s existence in this podcast, just a heads up if you have little ears listening.

Last week we talked about reconnecting with peace, our Savior’s peace. Were you able to feel some peace? When peace is interrupted for me and my boys, we tend to go to thankfulness or breath prayers.

On today’s episode, we are going to keep with our call to peace in this busy season and also remind ourselves that we should not look like the world. This episode is titled "Grow in Grace," because 2 Peter 3: 17-18 says, “You, therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.

Peter reminds us to take care that we are not carried away with the error of lawless people or that we don’t lose our stability. Unfortunately, I feel like even as Christians this can describe our Christmas season, myself included.

Everyone talks about how busy this time of year is, but I want to take a different approach. On today’s episode, I want to talk about peace. And not just any old peace, but peace that belonged to our Savior, the peace He shared it with us.

In John 14, Jesus is talking about the Holy Spirit being sent in His name after He is gone. Jesus says, the Holy Spirit will teach believers all things and bring to our remembrance all that he has said to us. He follows this by saying, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”

On today’s episode, I’m going to read from new book The Deliverance so that you can hear what Sarah is up to now. The Deliverance Book was released on Nov 7th, 2025, you can grab your copy on my website mindyhite.com or on Amazon!

On today’s episode, we are going to continue talking about barriers between us and God. We will continue with lies and wrong beliefs and then move on to sin and unforgiveness.

Remember when Jesus was being tempted for 40 days in the desert? Satan was there and misquoting scripture to him. Jesus answered back with actual scripture and the enemy was shut down. We need to do the same with the lies that we hear. We need to know scripture so that halve truths can’t slip past us.

We recently talked about going deeper with God and who He is to us, but we can often find that there are issues or barriers standing in the way of our communion and relationship with God. On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the barriers we put up.

We can put up barriers either consciously or subconsciously. This is to protect ourselves from future hurts.

If it’s conscious we may have said something like this, “No one is safe, I’m the only one who can protect myself.” Someone in your life wasn’t safe and so you either thought or said a statement like this.

On today’s episode, we are going to talk about what journaling can look like during your time set apart to spend with God. Many Christians call this their quiet time. It’s not a biblical term, but we do know that Jesus often went off by himself to spend time with the Father and that’s what we are trying to emulate.

Do you have a journal? It can be a plain notebook or a fancy leather book that says journal on it, whatever it is, I would recommend that it brings you joy to see it. It’s a place where you will record your conversations with God, so it should be something that delights you when you pick it up.

Were you able to get time alone with God this past week? Did you start to establish a routine of spending time with Him, even if it’s only two minutes?

On today’s episode, we are going pick up where we left off in our quiet time with God. We will dive even deeper in on what time with your Heavenly Father might look like.
