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.

    The Goodness of God: How to Trust Him for A Rich Life

    "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." — John 10:10 Most believers are familiar with the first half of that verse. We know there is an enemy. We know life can be difficult. But what if we've spent so much time focusing on what the thief does that we've missed what Jesus came to give? In this encouraging episode, Lenora explores the breathtaking contrast between the works of the enemy and the heart of God. Drawing from John 10:10, John 3:16, 1 John 5, Matthew 7:11, Luke 12:32, and other scriptures, she invites listeners to rediscover God's goodness and His desire to give life—abundant, enduring, God-kind life. You'll discover: • Why your expectations about God shape your faith and prayers • What Jesus meant when He promised abundant life • How a distorted view of God can hinder receiving His promises • Why trusting God's goodness is part of the "fight of faith" • The surprising realization that God is not only holy and powerful—but also joyful, generous, and deeply personal Through scripture, personal reflection, and a heartfelt prayer, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond fear, disappointment, and religious assumptions and into a deeper confidence in the Father's love. What if God is better than you think? Join us as we explore the life Jesus came to give and learn how to build expectations rooted not in circumstances, but in the unchanging goodness of God.

    Feeling Lonely or Empty? Why Knowing God Changes Everything

    Do you ever wonder if God actually wants a personal relationship with you — not religion, not performance, but real closeness? In this heartfelt episode, Lenora talks honestly about why knowing God personally has become the most important pursuit of her life. Drawing heavily from Ephesians 1 and Ephesians 3, she shares how Scripture reveals a God who intentionally chose you, adopted you, forgave you, and deeply desires relationship with you. This episode explores:  Why people are starving for authentic love and truth  The difference between religion and relationship with God  Healing trust issues through knowing God’s character  Identity in Christ and being chosen by God  The power of faith, prayer, declarations, and renewing your mind  Why God’s love is not performance-based  How Scripture transforms fear, anxiety, shame, and insecurity  The battle for your belief, trust, and heart  Walking in the “fight of faith” through God’s promises  Why Jesus came to give you life abundantly (John 10:10) Lenora also shares personal reflections about God’s favor, spiritual growth, healing from brokenness, and learning to rest securely in the love of the Father rather than chasing approval from people. If you’ve ever struggled with fear, disappointment, distrust, spiritual exhaustion, or feeling distant from God, this episode will encourage you to rediscover the goodness, kindness, and personal love of God in a deeper way.

    How Miracles Still Happen: Prayer for You Today

    I'm so glad to be back with you through a brand-new episode. The last two weeks, I shared two older interviews, two of my favorites. But it is good to be back and to talk and pray with you... Have you ever wondered if the power of God you read about in the Bible is still available today? Spoiler alert… it is! In this deeply personal and faith-building episode, I share firsthand experiences of witnessing miracles—including physical healing, restored strength, and the tangible presence of God—during a recent trip to India with Mercy Tribe and Abigail Stott. These aren’t just stories… they’re invitations for you to step into a more confident, authentic relationship with God. We explore what it means to truly know God, not just believe in Him—and how that relationship unlocks bold, effective prayer. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unsure, or disconnected in your time with God, this episode will encourage you to rediscover His love, your identity in Christ, and the authority you have in Jesus’ name. Anchored in Ephesians 1, this episode walks through the truth that:  You are chosen, loved, and adopted by God (Ephesians 1:4–5)  You have redemption and forgiveness through Christ (Ephesians 1:7)  You are called to know God deeply through wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17–18)  God’s immeasurable power is at work in you as a believer (Ephesians 1:19–20) We also touch on the authority of Jesus’ name in prayer and the reality that God still heals, restores, and transforms lives today. If you desire to:  Feel God’s presence more tangibly  Pray with greater confidence  Understand your identity and inheritance in Christ  Experience the power of God in your everyday life …this episode will meet you right where you are and call you deeper.

    A Conversation On How “The People Code” Reveals Your Key Motivation and Transforms Relationships

    Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are—or why others think and act so differently from you? In this fascinating and deeply personal episode, Lenora sits down with Dr. Taylor Hartman, author of the bestselling book The People Code, to explore the powerful concept of innate personality wiring and how it shapes every area of life—from relationships and leadership to emotional health and self-awareness. This conversation goes beyond theory. Dr. Hartman shares his own life-altering story of a devastating car accident that temporarily stripped away his identity—giving him profound insight into how essential our core personality truly is.  Together, they unpack:  The 4 core personality types (Red, Blue, Yellow, White) and what drives each one  Why misunderstanding personality differences leads to conflict, frustration, and offense How to stop taking things personally and start building stronger, healthier relationships The hidden strengths and weaknesses in every personality type  How your upbringing and experiences “color” your personality—but don’t define it  Why emotional intelligence requires learning from all personality types  Practical ways to better understand yourself, your family, coworkers, and leaders Lenora also shares how The People Code personally impacted her life—helping her navigate relationships, reduce offense, and gain clarity about her own internal conflicts. If you’ve ever struggled with communication, felt misunderstood, or wanted deeper connection in your relationships, this episode will give you a powerful new lens to see people—and yourself—more clearly. 👉 Learn more or take the personality profile: https://taylorhartman.com Book offer - Prayer changes everything — especially when you’re seeking God for answers to anxiety, depression, relationships, finances, health, or life decisions. 100 Prayers Releasing 100 Cares shares real stories of answered prayer, biblical wisdom for hearing God’s voice, and practical faith tools rooted in Scripture to help you walk in freedom and bold trust in God.  "100 Prayers Releasing 100 Cares"  Click to order your copy today and begin praying with confidence!  Prayer requests, questions, speaking engagements and guest inquiries:  contact.backtoone@gmail.com
