    Ep. 65: Hearing God's voice (a discussion on Samuel the prophet, ft. Denea Marable)

    In this episode, we explore what it really means to hear God’s voice by stepping into the quiet, early-morning moment when young Samuel first encountered God in 1 Samuel 3. With our returning guest Denea Marable, we unpack how God speaks in ways that are gentle, persistent, and deeply personal - and why discernment often grows in the space between confusion and clarity. Whether you’re longing for direction, learning to trust your spiritual instincts, or simply craving a reminder that God still calls us by name, this conversation offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on recognizing God’s voice in your own life.

    EPISODE 64

    Ep. 64: Wrestling with God (ft. returning special guest, Derek Cummins)

    Have you ever found yourself in a season where your prayers feel more like arguments than conversations, or even a time when connecting with God is frustrating? In this episode, we invite a returning guest, Derek Cummins, to explore what it means to wrestle with God - to question, doubt, and still hold on. Drawing from the story of Jacob in Genesis and the real, raw moments of faith that test us, we talk about how divine wrestling can actually deepen our relationship with God. Because sometimes, the blessing comes after the struggle.

    Ep. 63: When the well runs dry (being in a spiritual drought)

    Have you ever felt like your prayers bounce off the ceiling or that God is strangely silent? In this episode we talk honestly about the experience of spiritual drought - those dry, restless seasons when God feels distant. We’ll explore biblical examples of wilderness, common reasons why our spirits grow parched, and gentle practices to help avoid shame. Whether you’re in the middle of a dry spell or alongside someone who is, this conversation offers hope, compassion, and practical ways to keep moving toward God’s quiet presence.

    Ep. 62: Trusting your inner wisdom (and listening for the Holy Spirit)

    In this episode, we dive into the power of trusting your inner wisdom and leaning into the gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) promptings of the Holy Spirit. Too often, we second-guess ourselves or dismiss that quiet nudge within. But what if that whisper is God’s way of guiding you toward peace, clarity, and alignment with His will? Together, we’ll explore what it means to discern His voice, how to build confidence in following it, and why obedience - even in small, "non-spiritual" things - can open the door to freedom and transformation.
