    How to Walk in Step With the Holy Spirit (Instead of Trying to Control Everything)

    What if the answer to feeling out of control isn’t gaining more control—but learning to walk in step with the Holy Spirit? This week, Hala shares how the fruit of self-control showed up in places where she has historically struggled: resentment in her marriage, overwhelming days with her kids, an endless list of things she could be doing, and the temptation to abandon what she sensed God asking her to do. But this time, something was different. Instead of trying to control the people and circumstances around her, Hala began to recognize what it looks like to surrender herself to the Holy Spirit—and how that kind of Spirit-led self-control can produce more peace, patience, clarity, and confidence in God’s direction. In this episode of Spoonfuls of Honey, Hala explores Galatians 5 and what it practically looks like to walk in step with the Spirit, recognize the fruit of the flesh versus the fruit of the Spirit, surrender daily plans to God, and follow His direction even when it doesn’t make sense. She also shares a simple reminder for those moments when you’re praying, “God, what am I supposed to do?” but don’t seem to have a clear next step: go back to the last thing you know He asked you to do—and keep walking faithfully from there. If you’re learning how to hear God’s voice, discern His direction, surrender control, or follow the Holy Spirit in your everyday life, this episode is for you. 🍯 If Spoonfuls of Honey is helping you notice God in your everyday life, follow the podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who might need it this week.

    Feeling Stuck? 3 Things That May Be Keeping You From God’s Direction

    Do you want to follow God’s direction for your life—but still find yourself feeling anxious, frustrated, stuck, or unsure of what He’s asking you to do? Sometimes the problem isn’t that God isn’t leading us. It’s that something else is making it harder for us to recognize His direction and follow Him with freedom. In this episode of Spoonfuls of Honey, Christian Life Coach Hala Sahlman shares three things God has been revealing in her own life that can quietly get in the way of walking closely with Him: idols, unhealed pain, and fear that turns into control. Through Isaiah 48, Romans 5, listening prayer, and honest stories from her own life, Hala explores what it can look like to stop striving, surrender what was never ours to control, and trust that God really does know the way forward. In this episode, you’ll reflect on: • How to recognize the things you may be relying on instead of God• Why rushing the healing process can keep us from experiencing deeper freedom• How fear can show up as control in our everyday lives• What it looks like to surrender your daily plans—not just your big life plans—to God• How listening prayer can help you slow down and become more aware of God’s direction If you’ve been praying, “God, what do You want me to do?” this episode will give you space to slow down, listen, and consider what might need to be surrendered so you can follow Him with greater peace, trust, and freedom. 🍯 Your spoonful of honey for the week: Ask God, Is there anything in my life that is keeping me from following Your direction?

    When You Don’t Know What to Pray: Finding Strength in God’s Word with Tara Moseley

    What do you pray when the situation feels too heavy—and you honestly don’t know what to say? In this episode of the Spoonfuls of Honey Podcast, Hala sits down with author Tara Moseley to talk about finding rest in God, hearing His voice in difficult seasons, and learning to align our words with the truth of Scripture. After walking through deeply challenging seasons with her own health and her son’s health, Tara discovered the power of bringing her fear, uncertainty, and questions honestly before God—and allowing His Word to give her language when she had none.

You’ll hear practical encouragement for: • finding spiritual rest in the middle of a busy life• talking honestly with God when you’re afraid or overwhelmed• hearing God’s direction when you don’t know what to do• praying Scripture over your children and family• using biblical declarations in hard seasons• finding words to pray when you simply don’t have them• saying yes to the dreams and invitations God has placed on your heart Tara also shares the story behind her new book, House of the Forest: Life-Giving Declarations for Strength and Abundance in Every Season, written out of hospital rooms, walks with God, health struggles, motherhood, and real-life moments when prayer felt difficult. If you’re walking through a hard season, carrying something you can’t fix, or simply longing to feel more grounded in God’s presence and confident in His truth, this conversation will remind you: you don’t have to manufacture the perfect prayer. You can come honestly to God, return to His Word, and let His truth meet you right where you are. 🍯 Spoonful of Honey: When you don’t have the words, you can borrow them from the Word.
