One of the biggest questions I get BY FAR on my social media is about my quiet time with God. "How do you do it?" "How do you keep on doing it consistently?" "What do you study?".
While all these questions are fantastic, I think if I start there we would be missing out on the WHY of it all. The reason why I've made this a habit in my life is not because I have to but because I was CREATED to need this time(and so are you!). You see, if we don't discover the WHY of why we do quiet time....we won't have any power to actually DO it long term as a habit.
This might be one of the most important episodes that I'll ever do because it explains most everything when it comes to knowing God and having a relationship! So whether you've NEVER had a quiet time before, have gotten away from it, or just need a refresher...this episode is for you! We've been plugging into the wrong power source, and we are going to talk about how quiet time is a solution to this problem.
This is part 1 of a podcast series that I am going to do on quiet time. Part 2 will talk about HOW to spend time with God. Part 3 will talk about HOW to make time with God a priority and a habit even when you are busy.
If you need prayer or have questions about this whole Jesus thing, I would love to pray for you. You can email me and my prayer team at

You are loved!
