In this podcast, you will find practical strategies for getting off your phone, powerful insights into hearing God’s voice, quick and easy tips for building your discernment muscles, and practical advice for studying the Bible on your own.

A Bible lover, ex Netflix and social media addict, and your biggest cheerleader when it comes to finding phone freedom and hearing the Holy Spirit. I spent much of my 20s numbing with social media and TV shows only to feel more and more insecure. I began to question my calling and purpose and to feel distant from God. I desperately wanted to hear His voice for myself, but I didn’t know how to get there. I finally realized, through an incredible slap-you-up-side-the-head sermon and some God-breathed revelation, that it is absolutely possible to break free from screens and to build sharp discernment of God’s voice. A few simple life habits and key insights took me from being confused on what I was hearing and feeling distracted from listening, to feeling free from my phone’s hold and knowing confidently that I could hear the Holy Spirit. And, I am excited to share these things with you!

    57 | Anxious About Not Hearing the Holy Spirit? 4 Scriptures for Biblical Encouragement

    "I sit down and ask the Lord questions, and I don't hear anything!" Does this sound like you? I've talked with so many young adult women who get so discouraged when they try to hear the Holy Spirit and get nothing. You've come to a place of stillness, carved out time in their quiet time to hear God's voice... maybe you have something really specific that you really need an answer from the Lord on. And, nothing! Girl, I totally feel you. This can be such a source of anxiety and discouragement, but! It doesn't have to be, and it's not meant to be! Let's get into the Word of God! In today's episode, I'll share with you four beautiful Bible verses (that you could even take to turn into a Bible study or use as Bible study tools for your own word study) that will bring you Biblical encouragement today. Here's the spoiler! You aren't carrying the burden of discerning God's voice on your own! You have divine help from above! Praise God! So let's throw off the doubts, plunge back into our daily prayer life without hesitation or discouragement, trusting God hears us, and let's tune into the Holy Spirit!   Get Connected: Get Weekly Practical Abiding devotions: https://subscribepage.io/igC8nL  Shoot Chloe an email: chloe@practicalabiding.com

    56 | "God, Please Tell Me What to Do!" Do THIS When Hearing Holy Spirit is Difficult

    Our 20s our filled with BIG questions. "Should I take this job?" "Is he my future husband?" "Should I move to this new city?" "Will this person be a good roommate?" There's a lot that we want God to speak into. Today, we're talking about the difficult side of asking God questions: waiting on His timing for answers. I want to share on this topic because this is something that no body talked to me about in my 20s. I made choices in my 20s that wounded my discernment and my relationship with God in a lot of ways. I want to help you avoid those things. So, I'm spilling the tea. We are getting into it. Using "Is this guy my husband?" as the examples for today, I want to share where we can get into trouble when we are asking God to speak into our lives. And, spoiler alert, the issue isn't that we're asking. (That's the good part!) And, we do, this episode goes into God's Word and is full of Biblical encouragement, because Scripture has something beautiful to say to us! If you want to grow in trusting God, hearing the Holy Spirit, and for your faith to be built up in your daily prayer life (instead of feeling anxious) this episode is for you. Let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit.   Resources: 19 | How Asking for Signs DESTROYED My Discernment and How the Holy Spirit Helped Me with My Confusion https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/19-how-asking-for-signs-destroyed-my-discernment-and/id1816381080?i=1000723419976    54 | 10 Things I Wish I Knew in My 20s About Hearing God's Voice https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/54-10-things-i-wish-i-knew-in-my-20s-about-hearing-gods-voice/id1816381080?i=1000748345709    Get Connected: Get Weekly Practical Abiding devotions: https://subscribepage.io/igC8nL    Join the Practical Abiding Insider Community: https://discord.gg/73AvrQNB8y  Shoot Chloe an email: chloe@practicalabiding.com

    55 | Is Your Phone Destroying Your Faith Walk? 3 Fun Ways to Stop Doomscrolling

    Our phones give us so much access to fun and entertainment until suddenly those things that brought us smiles start sucking the life out of us. I remember so many times coming home from work and thinking that scrolling on social media would be a fun distraction after a day of working, only to find that being distracted didn't actually help me decompress like I thought it would. Often, all that time of social media actually made me feel more depressed, more anxious, or just more drained. In today's episode, we will explore 3 ways that you can break the cycles of doomscrolling -- and, in ways that are fun and not legalistic. We may not always see how time on our phone affects our faith, but the little distractions and vises can get their grubby tentacles all over our ability to discern God's voice. If you want to grow in trusting God, grow in daily prayer, and to build up a beautiful quiet time, this episode is for you.

    54 | 10 Things I Wish I Knew in My 20s about Hearing God's Voice

    Sometimes the best way to learn a lesson is to learn it from someone else so you don't have to walk through the same junk yourself... Cuz let's be real, some lessons just really suck to walk through. In today's episode, I'm sharing 10 things I wish I knew in my 20s when it comes to discernment, hearing God's voice, and building a personal relationship with God. We are getting into those hard learned lessons about daily prayer, pouring out your emotions to the Lord, praying for your future husband, discerning what the Holy Spirit when you're the only one feeling weird, and so much more. And, yes, some tea gets spilled. I hope this episode is the biblical encouragement that you need in your week to sharpen you and edify your inner man.    Resources:  6 | I Disobeyed the Holy Spirit and Didn't Listen to God's Voice: Here's What Happened https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/6-i-disobeyed-the-holy-spirit-and-didnt-listen-to/id1816381080?i=1000716658530    19 | How Asking for Signs DESTROYED My Discernment and the Holy Spirit Helped Me with My Confusion https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/19-how-asking-for-signs-destroyed-my-discernment-and/id1816381080?i=1000723419976    44 | Social Media Got a Hold on You?

    Bonus | In a Spiritual Rut? This Unconventional Biblical Encouragement Will Shake Things Up!

    Feeling like your spiritual growth is non-existent? Getting discouraged in your Bible reading plan? Today, we've got a little something fun to shake things up a little... Bible Trivia! Often, we can feel that we aren't learning quickly enough or we may even feel like we haven't grown at all. We may have our favorite Bible study tools at the ready, we may stick to our Bible reading plan, practice daily prayer, and even sit in silence trying to hear the Holy Spirit -- which are all wonderful things! But, when it starts to feel like a chore, that's when we gotta shake things up and get out of that religious mindset. Spiritual growth is a journey, not some destination we need to run to as fast as we can. So, I pulled together two dear friends Kris and Bex (Rebecca) to play a game of Bible Trivia -- which one stimulation. We had to come up with the questions on our own from things that we had discovered on our own. And, guess what? It was so much fun.  We highly encourage you to get a group of friends together to play your own version. It's a great way to see how you really do notice amazing details in Scripture (thank you, Holy Spirit working in us!) and it stirs up a desire to know more and grow in Biblical knowledge. A great way to shake things up if you're feeling in a rut!   Get Connected: Get Weekly Practical Abiding devotions: https://subscribepage.io/igC8nL    Join the Practical Abiding Insider Community: https://discord.gg/73AvrQNB8y  Shoot Chloe an email: chloe@practicalabiding.com
