I believe the key in making this a routine, a part of your every day life, is to keep it simple!

So in this episode I’m sharing my easy 3 step quiet time routine that I strive to do every morning. I pray that this will inspire and motivate you as you set up your daily quiet time routine.

Stepping out in faith and doing something that God has called you to do can be so scary.

What if it wasn’t God telling you to take that step?

How is it going to work out?

How will I know what my next step is supposed to be?

The fear of not knowing can hold you back from doing what you feel God is telling you to do.

This recently happened to me. I had God telling me to do something, but I was scared out of my mind! I had NO IDEA how it was going to work out!

But I’m here to tell you that it not only worked out, it exceeded my expectations!

Listen to my story and be encouraged if God is telling YOU to step out in faith. Don’t let fear hold you back from the blessings God has for you!

Meditation. What’s the first thing you think of when you hear that word?

Is it how God defines meditation - or is it how the world defines it?

This short episode is actually a clip I pulled out of another episode. After pulling it out I realized I wanted to share it with y’all! So in this little baby episode we dive into what meditation is, what God says about meditation, and if you should meditate at all.

I pray this episode blesses you!
