    EP#375: How Do I Know It's Really God Speaking? - God Is Already Here

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about tuning your ears to God's voice.  Have you ever walked away from prayer wondering if you actually heard from God — or if that was just you? In this episode, Jen tackles one of the most common questions she gets about hearing from God and offers a grounding reminder: recognizing his voice is something you grow into, not something you arrive at. If you've been craving a deeper, more familiar walk with God, this is your practical and encouraging starting point.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Hebrews 5:13-14 "For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil."

    EP#374: The Goal Isn’t Perfection. It’s Interaction - God Is Already Here

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about the art of turning a moment into a conversation with God. So much of our faith life gets tangled up in trying to do it right — but what if God is less concerned with your performance and more interested in your presence? In this episode, Jen opens up about how to hear from God in the middle of everyday life, from the kitchen sink to the carpool line. It's a gentle reminder that abiding in God looks a lot less like spiritual perfection and a lot more like staying connected through the small stuff.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 15:4-5   "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Question God, what's something that you wanna draw my attention to? And then prompt my heart. How can I respond to you because of what I'm noticing? Quick Links 📘 The Captivated Playbook: How to Experience and Enjoy Reading the Bible 📱 Send Jen a text – Questions or prayer requests?

If you're hungry for a deeper prayer life but aren't sure where to start, this one's for you.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#370: God Is Closer Than You Think - God Is Already Here

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about why you don't have to get to God — he's already there. Some days it feels like God is distant and you're just trying to find your way back to him — but what if he was never far to begin with? This episode walks through the stories of Jacob and the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and invites you into a quiet moment to ask God how to hear from him and picture his presence in your own life. Short, honest, and grounding.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Luke 24:30-31 "When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight." Gen 28:16-17 "When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” Question God, what's a picture I can hold onto of how you're here with me?
