Sincerely, God

In this episode I share an excerpt about joy and God’s love. We often look for love from other people but only God’s love is complete and sufficient for all we need. As we spend time intentionally shifting our awareness to God and receiving His love, it starts to heal and transform us into the original, pure version of ourselves. God is always with us, but sometimes we need to shift our perspective through joy and thanksgiving to r...

In this episode I have a special guest, Anna Chao, join me as we talk about hearing God through two-way journaling. Anna recently started two-way journaling as a way to tune in to God’s voice. She shares personal stories and a fresh perspective about how hearing from God can transform your life. We discuss some practical approaches and lessons we’ve learned in our own two-way journaling time with God, such as the importance of lett...

In this episode I share an excerpt where God is reminding us to seek Him first. So often we desire the things of the world first and our lives get so full that we don’t leave room enough for God. But God desires connection to us, and He desires to give us wonderful gifts that are beyond what the world can give—things like peace, hope, wisdom, and love. Our relationship with God often becomes an afterthought, but He is reminding us ...

In this episode I share an excerpt about trusting that God is in control. I personally struggle to fully grasp this truth that God is ultimately in control of all. There is mystery that is beyond our human understanding because we make choices every day and are impacted (often negatively) by the decisions of others. But God encourages us not to put our trust in circumstances and instead to go to Him for the help we need. This is wh...

In this episode I share an excerpt about the joy that God offers to us. This joy is not contingent upon circumstances and can coexist with sadness, grief or frustration. It cannot be taken away, but it does require us to trust God. Like faith, trust needs to be proven out as we take risks and have experiences of God with us. One of the keys of growing in our trust and, therefore, joy, is to recognize, acknowledge and be grateful fo...

In this episode I share an excerpt where God is reminding me to release some of my overplanning tendencies and instead leave room for His Spirit to flow freely. I had asked God for guidance in preparing for a particular meeting and in response He shared wisdom intended to transform my way of life. Many of us can struggle with getting caught up in the details, often spending a lot of time and effort on things that aren’t necessary. ...

This is a bonus episode to E36: HEARING GOD THROUGH MOVEMENT. One of the examples I shared in that prior episode involved a healing session with a friend where God used physical movements to communicate a reminder of Jesus on the cross. That friend, Megan Coffin, shares vulnerably from her own experience of that time in her life. Megan opens up about her struggles with physical ailments and internal guilt and shame, and how God led...

In this episode I speak about a unique way that God both communicates and shares healing in a supernatural way. If you haven’t tuned in to E33: MY BACKSTORY, I recommend you start there for some context about my personal story. With that as a starting point, I dive more deeply into my personal experience of God’s Spirit flowing through spontaneous movement within my body. What I share may be difficult for some to accept as it doesn...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt where I asked God for healing in my heart. We are constantly impacted by the brokenness in the world around us, so we continuously need God’s healing. Part of that is simply asking for it and part of that is creating space to receive. Do you start your day inviting God into your planning and do you schedule space for stillness or things that you enjoy? Even when you feel like you are too...

This episode is for anyone who has struggled with fearful or anxious thoughts. I share an excerpt about keeping our fearful thoughts in check. This starts first by recognizing that your thoughts are not you. Even though thoughts exist inside our minds, they can come and go just like sights and sounds can come in and out of our awareness as we walk through different environments. Realizing this truth empowers you to choose which tho...

This episode is a break from my usual content to share a little of my personal journey. I focus mostly on my spiritual growth and personal healing process. I discuss my own evolving relationship with God through some of the challenges I have faced, including chronic pelvic pain and divorce. We all have our own life journeys and we need God’s encouragement and help along the way. I hope that what I share on this podcast encourages y...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt about being present and enjoying each day together with God. He invites us to bring our burdens to Him. Most of the things we carry aren’t important, especially any form of worry. Truly, God is already with us every moment of every day, but He wants us to engage with Him. He will provide for us no matter what comes, whether difficulty or opportunity. The question is will we be present en...

In this episode I have a special guest, Nicki Holle, join me as we talk about hearing God through visions. Nicki is a wife, mom, artist, baker, and overall creator. You can check out her incredible cookies and other creations on Instagram @think.pink.bakery and @think.pink.coffee. The primary way that Nicki “hears” from God is through visions and in this episode she shares personal examples as well as her own learning journey with ...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt where God is reminding me to enjoy this life. We are surrounded by a culture that emphasizes busyness and productivity, so it takes intentionality to slow down and be present in each moment. But as we do, it allows us to notice all of the gifts God has placed along our journeys of life. God invites us to enjoy His company which can be done anytime, anywhere, simply by directing our aware...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt about God’s love and how we shine that love more brightly as we spend time with Him. God calls Himself the Father of Lights who will make us shine like the heavenly places. It is so important for us to receive God’s love first. As we receive in full measure, we can then give out of that abundance of what is already inside of us. Sometimes we may feel alone, like we’re the only one that i...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt from a time in my life when my personal identity was tied to my career. We can all find ourselves tying our personal worth to external measurements found in how we operate in the world around us. But everything in this world can be taken away. When we wrap up our own personal value into the things of this world, such as a job, relationship, or social status, it sets us up to have an iden...

In this episode I have a special guest, Andrea Hamilton Binley, join me as we talk about hearing God through music. Andrea (“Dre”) is a singer, songwriter, musician and involved in music in many different ways. She has recognized God’s guidance to her throughout her life, but music is especially impactful to her. This episode is full of stories and examples of how hearing from God has impacted her life. We discuss the power in musi...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt about how we still experience pain and suffering in this life. It can be hard to believe that God is good when facing tragedies and trials. When we blame God it creates a barrier, but being open to receive from Him can change how we experience the hardship. As we take steps to release fear and doubt, it creates space to connect to peace, courage and hope. God’s ways often seem upside dow...

In this episode I share a journaling excerpt that speaks to some of my own healing journey. God is the source of healing and often that comes through a process over time of soaking in His Presence through stillness. As we become aware of our need for connection with God and intentionally tune in, we experience healing in all parts of ourselves and carry that connection with us through everyday living.
