⭐ Episode 2 — Following the Direction Given

In this episode, Kristen shares how the Holy Spirit redirected her plans for Episode 2 — and how the start of a new year often invites us not to add more, but to pay attention to what God has already been doing.

She reflects on a year marked by unexpected pruning: slow reveals, dramatic moments, and the kind of spiritual stripping that forces us to let go of what we’ve been leaning on. Instead of striving, God invites surrender. Instead of resolutions, He offers revelation.

Kristen talks about choosing a word, a virtue, and a saint for the year — not as self‑improvement goals, but as a way of noticing where the Holy Spirit is already moving. With humor, honesty, and a surprise Instagram confirmation (plus a Hobby Lobby cameo), she shares how the Lord led her to her word for 2026: fulfillment.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, pruned, redirected, or uncertain as the new year begins, this episode offers companionship, clarity, and a gentler way forward.

🌿 YOUR TURN TO CHOP — Reflection Questions

Before rushing into the rest of your day, take a moment to pause and simply notice.

Here are a few gentle questions to sit with:

1. Looking back on this past year…

Where do you see signs of pruning?

2. What has God already been revealing about your weak or tender places?

Not to shame you, but to invite healing and support?

3. Is there a word, phrase, or posture that keeps returning quietly?

Something that feels more like an anchor than a goal?

4. Is there a saint, scripture, or theme that won’t leave you alone?

How does it feel to stop dismissing it and simply notice?

5. Where might God be inviting you to remain instead of strive?

Where is the call less about doing more and more about being honest?
