Ep. 147 Are You Reading God’s Word or Letting It Read You? With Sonja Corbitt

This Episode is about Lectio Divina, scripture as a personal encounter with God, and how daily prayer can move someone from information to transformation. It centers on Sonia Corbett’s “Love the Word” approach: listen first, observe, verbalize, and entrust, then let scripture reveal both comfort and conviction. The conversation also weaves in Catholic spirituality, Mary’s receptivity, suffering, silence, and the idea that modern people often miss God because they’re too distracted to be present. It argues that scripture is not just something to study, but something that studies us, exposing our motives, wounds, and habits while inviting healing. A major thread is that vulnerability is what opens the heart to God, especially in seasons of grief, anxiety, or frustration, when prayer becomes less about performance and more about honest receptivity. The episode also contrasts left-brain analysis with a more symbolic, Marian, and contemplative way of reading that holds both meaning and mystery. Ultimately, it encourages listeners to slow down, make space for silence, and allow the Word to reshape identity, peace, and daily action.Website sonjacorbitt.com/Youtube  2:01–12:47 —  forethought13:15 onward — Interview
