Depth Podcast Jodi Snowdon

Are you tired of running at the speed of the world? Would you like to find a slower pace? The pace of rest and the place of peace! Then I think you are going to love this episode.

I am speaking this week with my good friend, Angie Baughman, and we are going to be diving deep into the verse, “Be Still and Know That I am God.” We use her amazing 5 Step Bible Study Method and I know you are going to love learning more on how to study the Bible. Hopefully this will allow you to have a more consistent quiet time and a lot of Depth in your study with God as well. You know how much I love for us to have Depth! This is one of my favorite episodes this year, and I cannot wait for you to hear the wisdom from Angie.

Has God ever answered, "No" to one of your prayer requests? Did you have a hard time accepting when God's answer was "No." I don't know about you, but I think that is a really hard one when we pray fervently, and God does not answer with the way we want him to. I remember that with my friend, we were praying for a miracle for her to be healed, but sadly she wasn't. It was really hard to accept that "No".

I am excited to have Hadassah Treu on the podcast this week because she is going to share her story of a time when she had to accept when God answered, "No." I think it is a very powerful episode. Her book is called *Draw Near: How Painful Experiences Become the Birthplace of Blessings. You do not want to miss the truth Hadassah shares; there is so much goodness!

Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Hadassah’s new book: *Draw Near. All the details of the book giveaway are on my website at jodisnowdon.com or you can click this direct link: https://kingsumo.com/g/lz5vie/draw-near-book-giveaway

I am uploading all my interviews to YouTube now, so you can listen with close captioning. Here is a direct link to Hadassah's episode.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with what you have to do in your life and what you feel like God is calling you do to? You think, I just don’t have the time to do it all. I can so relate.

This is why I am excited for you to hear from Jessica Hurlbut. She is back on the podcast, and we are talking about her new book, *Unlimited Motherhood. I think sometimes the demands of being a mom can be exhausting and at the same time, you are trying to live out this purpose you feel God has called you for. And sometimes you are like, I just don’t know how to do it all, and you feel limited.  That is why I am so excited for the truth Jessica shares. Oh, I love the last part of the podcast where she talks about John the Baptist-- it is my favorite!

to know God’s will for your life? Do you wish He would just spell it out clearly to you or say it loudly, so you knew that was the voice of God?

If we are honest, I think a lot of us struggle to hear the voice of God, so I am excited for this podcast episode. I am talking with Jody Gras. She is going to share her story and give us wisdom on how to hear the voice of God—how to discern if God is speaking to us. There are some real practical tools on this episode, and I think you are really going to love it.

We also talk about surrender on this episode, and I shared how I throw rocks at the beach as a physical act of surrender. For more details, check out the blog post I wrote called Rock Therapy.
