Are you showing up in prayer, worship, and study but still leaving empty? In today’s episode of the Prescription for Purpose podcast, we continue our series on communicating with God by unpacking what happens after you receive His word.

We dive into the critical step of decoding—how your mind interprets what God is saying. This is where many of us get stuck, experiencing frustration, emptiness, or even doubt. Sharla explores the difference between assimilation (fitting God’s word into your comfort zone) and accommodation (allowing God’s word to reshape you), showing why only the latter produces intimacy and transformation.

You’ll learn:

• Why spiritual emptiness is not failure but a signal for deeper connection.
• The danger of assimilation—and how it blocks transformation.
• How accommodation builds faith, intimacy, and renewed thinking.
• Practical steps to shift from routine religion to relational renewal.
• Biblical insights from James 4, Acts 10, Romans 12, and Luke 6.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually busy but unchanged, this episode will help you recognize the decoding breakdown and choose a posture that draws you closer to God.
