Hearing God Daily | Journal Prompts, Discernment, Trust in God, Biblical Encouragement, Faith, Scripture

Wondering if it’s God’s voice—or just your own thoughts? Feel spiritually disconnected and overwhelmed with the noise of life? Does life feel too busy to sit still, let alone journal or pray? Are you craving a daily, authentic relationship with God—but not sure how to build it? I’m so glad you’re here. This podcast will help you create consistent space to hear God’s voice, deepen your relationship with Him, and grow spiritually and emotionally—without pressure or perfection. Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a journal-loving Jesus follower who’s been where you are—longing to hear God’s voice but unsure how to make space for it. I’ve battled depression and obsessive thought patterns, wrestled through seasons of doubt, and spent years bouncing between burnout and self-help overload. I knew I wanted a deeper walk with God… but while others made hearing Him seem easy, I struggled to actually hear Him for myself. That’s when I discovered how simple, Spirit-led journaling could create daily rhythms that helped me slow down, listen, and connect with God—right in the middle of ordinary life. Now I’m here to help you do the same. Whether you’re in a life transition, rebuilding your faith rhythms, or just craving spiritual clarity, this podcast will meet you with grace and practical tools to help you move forward. If you’re ready for intentional connection, honest growth, and actually hearing God in your everyday life… grab your journal and let’s dig in.
