Wholistic Hearts- A Journey from the Head to the Heart, Encounters with Jesus

Have you ever felt like you were learning a lot about God — checking all the boxes, doing all the right things — and yet something in your spirit kept leaning forward, whispering there has to be more than this? Friend, that holy restlessness is not a problem to fix. It is an invitation from the Holy Spirit Himself.In this episode, Kristin shares the story of how her own hunger led her into a life-changing small group — and eventually to opening up her own living room — and she walks you through how you can do the same. You don't need a curriculum, a big group, or a theological degree. You just need a posture of childlike faith and a willingness to say yes to the stirring. Hunger is your qualification.Resources MentionedYou May All Prophesy by Steve Thompson - A gentle, accessible entry point into prophetic listening — perfect for groups just beginning to practice hearing God's voice without feeling intimidated.Holy Listening by Margaret Guenther - A beautiful, contemplative guide to spiritual direction and the art of truly listening — to God and to one another.Basic Training for the Prophetic Ministry Workbook by Kris Vallotton - A more structured, practical workbook if your group wants a framework to work through together.Encounter Coaching Session with Kristin (1 hour — $50) — https://buymeacoffee.com/kchadwick/e/535501Questions of Jesus Journal (through the book of John — $20) — buymeacoffee.com/kristinchadwickConnect with Kristin📷 Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick 📘 Facebook: @kristinfieldschadwick🌐 kristinfieldschadwick.com | wholisticheartspodcast.com☕ Support the podcast: buymeacoffee.com/kristinchadwickWholistic Hearts Podcast — Hosted and produced by Kristin Fields Chadwick

Have you ever read a phrase in Scripture so many times that you stopped really seeing it? That's exactly what happened to me with three small words tucked inside 1 Samuel 2 and 3 — "Samuel ministered to the Lord."In this episode, we slow down and really behold what it means to minister to the Lord, why it matters for us today, and what it might look like in your own secret place this week.Scriptures Referenced:1 Samuel 2:11, 18 & 1 Samuel 3:11 Peter 2:9This Week's Invitation:Take intentional time this week to practice ministering to the Lord in your own secret place.It might look like:Sitting quietly and simply beholding His presence — no agenda, just you and HimSinging a new song from your heart, offered up just to HimServing those around you with the same honor and love you would bring before the King of KingsNotice what shifts. Notice what opens up.Reflection Questions:When you think about "ministering to the Lord," what comes up for you — does it feel accessible or distant?Where in your daily life might you already be ministering to the Lord without recognizing it?What would it look like to be like Samuel — faithfully attending to God's presence before He speaks?Journal Prompts:Lord, what does ministering to You look like for me in this season?Which of the three identity markers from 1 Peter 2:9 — chosen, royal priesthood, holy nation — do I most need to receive today, and why?Where have I been seeking more information about You instead of more of Your presence? What is one small step I can take toward presence this week?Connect with Kristin:📱 Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick📘 Facebook: @kristinfieldschadwick🌐 kristinfieldschadwick.com | wholisticheartspodcast.com💛 ☕ Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/kchadwickDid this episode stir something in you?
