About this episode

This episode reframes the concept of 'quiet time' in a way that emphasizes a more holistic and personal approach to devotional life.

Have you ever felt guilty because you couldn’t seem to stay consistent with the “perfect” quiet time routine? Maybe you started with good intentions. Maybe it even helped for a season. But somewhere along the way, what began as an invitation slowly started to feel heavy. Like another thing to keep up with. Another reminder that you were falling behind. Friend, relationship with God is so much bigger than a time slot. In this conversation, we’re reframing the idea of “quiet time” and exploring a fuller, freer way of thinking about devotional life — one that makes room for real life, ordinary moments, and the unique way God created you to connect with Him.
