260 | Stop Striving: How Christian Women Can Tune Into God’s Presence

from Thriving in Christ | Professional Women, High Level Habits, Resilience, Burnout, Stress, Grief · host Dr. Ioana Popa | Psychiatrist Educator, Executive Coach, Speaker & Spiritual Care Formation

I pray you are well! This month, we revisit some important past episodes following the theme of FAITH, as we walk with God during this Lenten season.  In this episode, I share some important concepts about connecting with God and why He might sometimes feel distant, although He is everywhere, filling all things. We long to encounter God everywhere, not just in church, but in the middle of our meetings, decisions, and daily responsibilities. Yet the greatest obstacle is often striving - because while excellence has its place, intimacy with God requires connecting with God's energies. In this episode, we cover:☀️ When we clear our mental noise, emotional heaviness, and daily worries, we can shift our “antenna” to align with His frequency.☀️ How this simple shift opens up our true self, our soul, making more space for the fruits of the Spirit.☀️ Some practical steps to connect with God today in faith. Here is a short episode that will invite you to nurture the fruits of the spirit that are given to us daily through co-creation and a deep connection with Christ. TUNE IN NOW!
