"I wish I could pray like her.""Her faith is so strong; she's always at church."It's easy to be envious of others' apparent faith based on the actions we can see. Does that make us like the Pharisees, who put their focus on actions? I explain how this envy is a part of being human and how to shift our mindset to align with what God sees: the heart.*****************"Reconnect and Rest: 30 Days to Finding God When You Don’t Have Time" runs from August 14th to September 13th.

This week, I share my experience visiting a church where the sermon just didn't feel right: how I handled my uncomfortableness with the sermon and how I sought the truth. Maybe your church hurt came from something that wasn't true. I encourage you to seek the God of truth, who is waiting to reveal Himself to you.*****************If you are in Colorado, I invite you to the "What does God want me to do?" workshop on July 20th from 9a-12p.

The least talked about part of the Trinity is the one that makes your relationship with God easier and more personal. I am passionate about giving the Holy Spirit its due, so I had to do a bit of editing to keep this episode at a reasonable length. :)Why does it matter? Speaking with God is as simple as breathing. You don't need anyone to stand between you and God to facilitate the relationship: no requirements, no priest, not even me. My prayer is that you learn to hear the Holy Spirit and build your own personal relationship with God.

Today, I own the "off-script" branding because I am not following the episode plan I had for today. My podcasting experience is an excellent example of how sticking to the rules can result in a product without heart. Does that sound like your struggle with being a Christian: doing what is expected (church, prayer, reading your bible) but not feeling connected to God? Our faith journey should be a profound relationship that grows and evolves uniquely for each of us. It's not about abandoning discipline but understanding that "if you just go through the motions, you may be missing the heart of it." This episode calls you to live out your faith in a way that is true to who you are, embracing the unscripted moments that make your spiritual journey uniquely yours. It's about finding fulfillment not through a checklist of spiritual tasks but through a genuine, heart-led relationship with God.
