In this episode, I dive into one of the most common and frustrating challenges I hear from people everywhere: why does it sometimes feel impossible to hear God’s voice? Spoiler—it’s not just you, and I’m right there with you, even if it sometimes looks like I’ve got this all figured out.I get real about my own experiences: yes, there are moments when talking with God feels natural, but there are just as many times when I’m shouting into the void, hoping for even a whisper in return. In this episode, I explore why that sense of silence happens, and reveal the often surprising reason behind it—the lack of a sacred, intentional space to connect.I break down what a “sacred space” really means (hint: it doesn’t have to be a stained-glass chapel or a perfect Instagram-ready nook) and share practical, down-to-earth ideas for carving out a spot that’s just for you and God—whether that’s a quiet corner, a park bench, or even the closet floor.Here’s what you’ll get in this episode:Honest stories about my own spiritual ups and downs (and a little playful marital banter for good measure!)Why finding a sacred space is a game-changer for actually hearing GodCreative suggestions to help you claim your own special spot—no matter where you live or how much space you haveHow removing distractions can help you tune into what God might be saying—and what to expect when the answer isn’t what you hoped for
