"You fill yourself up with Christ, with the word of God. That’s what meditation is."

"If something isn’t bringing the fruit of the Spirit, cut it out. Jesus talks about pruning the dead branches."

"Journaling is not just about writing prayers. It’s about capturing the moments when God speaks."

"Pray, journal, and fast. God will reveal things you never imagined."

 

In this episode:

• Faith-based journaling strengthens your connection with God, helping you remember His messages and grow spiritually.
• Christian meditation involves filling your mind with the word of God, contrasting with secular ideas of emptying the mind.
• Writing down God’s word and personal revelations is a powerful tool to anchor you in difficult times.
• Trusting the Holy Spirit’s leading, whether in personal decisions like adoption or professional ones, ensures you're aligned with God’s will.
• Obedience to God's calling might not always be easy, but journaling provides clarity and confidence when life gets hard.
