Getting Personal With God

Lenora Turner - Certified Coach, International Speaker

New Episodes Weekly! Do you wish you knew God better? Do you long to feel His presence, hear His voice, and stop wrestling with guilt when you pray? I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you get to know God, his ways, and intentions toward you. As you discover who He truly is, you’ll enjoy more time with Him — and along the way you’ll find yourself laughing more, resting more, and growing in confidence. I’m Lenora — a mom, Jesus-lover, and international trainer. At times, I dreaded my “quiet time.” I assumed I was putting God first because I went to church and checked off the boxes. But inside, I often felt bored, guilty, and even a little resentful. Then God broke through my assumptions. He showed me He wasn’t like everyone else — and that the change I longed for would come as I discovered how loved I really was. So I started learning in ways that fit how I best connect. Simple but powerful truths began to set my heart free. My walk with God shifted and my time with Him from boredom and duty into joy, peace, and true friendship. And now I’m sharing it with you.  If you’re ready to uncover the roots holding you back… If you grew up in church but still feel stuck… If you’re longing for peace, better sleep, fresh energy, real joy, and hope for your future — this podcast is for you. So grab a comfy spot or listen on the go — it’s time to get personal with your best Friend - God ----- For the first 40 episodes the original name for this podcast was "3Ps in a Pod". It's been a journey...You'll hear old titles in the introductions of older episodes from 2020-24 yet the interviews and conversations are powerful.

    Prayer In Chaotic Times - How Knowing God Can Keep You From Being Deceived (Daniel 11:32)

    World empires rise and fall, but those who know God remain strong. In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful verses about spiritual resilience found in Daniel 11:32 — a verse placed in the middle of one of the Bible’s most detailed prophetic chapters about geopolitical turmoil. In times of confusion, competing narratives, and global uncertainty, Scripture reminds us that the key to discernment is not simply more information — it is knowing God personally and walking closely with Him through prayer. Jesus invites us to abide in Him so that we can live with clarity, courage, and strength even when the world feels unstable. In this episode we discuss: • Why Daniel 11:32 highlights spiritual strength during times of political upheaval • How deception and flattery can lead people off course • Why knowing God deeply through prayer is the key to discernment • What Jesus meant when He said “abide in Me” • How believers can remain steady when the world feels chaotic You’ll also hear a prayer asking God for revelation, protection, courage, and clarity during difficult times. If you feel overwhelmed by voices, opinions, and world events, this episode will encourage you to draw closer to God — the ultimate source of truth and stability.

    In a world that feels uncertain and vulnerable, one truth remains steady: God hears you when you pray. In this powerful and encouraging episode, Lenora shares biblical truth about the power of prayer and the reality of God’s protection.

Whether you’re feeling exposed by world events, personal struggles, spiritual opposition, or anxiety, this episode will help you: Understand why God’s protection flows from relationshipPray with confidence instead of hesitationStand on God’s promises without fear of being “too bold”Break agreement with intimidation and speak truthFind peace that guards your heart and mindPsalm 91 declares that those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High abide in the shadow of the Almighty. That protection is not poetic language — it is covenant reality. You are not forgotten. You are not overlooked. You are not spiritually vulnerable when you are under His name. God planned for you before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1). He is faithful to guard you against the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3). His name is a strong tower (Proverbs 18:10).
