[Ep 190] How I Realized My Journaling Was in the Way
from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Spiritual Director for Christian Women
Sometimes the things we love most can actually get in the way of connecting with God. In this clip from the Lead Well Conference, I share a personal story about how even journaling—something I teach and cherish—was keeping me from spending time with the Lord the way I really wanted. If you've ever felt like your "good habits" or spiritual routines are keeping you from truly engaging with God, this episode is for you. I'll walk you through a small shift I made that helped me listen to God more authentically throughout my day—and how you can do the same. >> Book Kari for your next event: http://lovedoesthat.org/speaking RELATED EPISODES: · Episode 176: My Biggest Tip for Beating Perfectionism in Journaling · Episode 144: How to Create Both a Short and Long Journaling Routine · Episode 76: Have a Hard Time Sensing God's Presence?
