Episode Description
hey homegirlssss. i have been AWOL but God is faithful.
in today’s episode, i wanted to talk about the chrsitians who are overwhelmed, tired, maybe sometimes inconsistent with the word and feeling guilty.
... basically, all of us at some point.
i’ve been in a season where everything has felt CRAZY (hence the absence): wedding planning, work, travelling… and somewhere in the middle of all of that, my time with God started to look different.
i used to feel like i needed to "get back" to how i used to be with God - hours in the Word, long study sessions, structured prayer. but lately, God’s just been whispering, “start somewhere.”
in this episode we talk about:
✨ the guilt we carry when our quiet time doesn’t look the same
✨ how God meets us in the busyness
✨ how starting small is still starting
