The Presence Project Podcast

God led me to your podcast & to others through you at just the right time… so like Him to give me what I needed just as I needed it. Thank you for sharing your heart & journey with God. So glad you are adding new podcasts this year.

Episode 21 and Centering Prayer are helping me through a difficult depression. Thank you so much, Summer. I will pass this on to friends.

Hi Summer, Thanks so much for your ministry. I just started listening to your podcast starting at day 1. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression all her life, I can completely relate to your story. And now I am trying to set an example and be a support to my 2 teenage daughters as they battle their own issues with anxiety. As a dietitian, I have seen my career take a different path to helping women with chronic dieting and weight cycling using a self-care acceptance eating framework (Intuitive Eating). As a Christian my faith is evolving as I incorporate Ignatian spirituality and contemplative prayer into my spiritual practice. As I write this I become aware of just how much I have grown and evolved as God is shaping me into the person I believe I meant to be. Don’t get me wrong, I still struggle with a lot of self doubt, shame and anxiety. But I will endeavour to persevere with patient trust. And this podcast offers a glimmer of hope that one day I will know that I too am beloved by God. Thanks for reading.

I’ve been listening in since April or May last spring. This podcast is so helpful for learning techniques for calming down when feeling anxious and connecting with God in the midst of feeling scattered. I hope there will be more coming.
