Imagine Yourself Podcast

Have you ever prayed for something—clarity, healing, change—and then realized the answer you got was not what you expected… or wanted? Maybe it stretched you, humbled you, or forced you to face something uncomfortable. In this episode of Imagine Yourself, Lanée Blaise and Sandy Kovach get honest about those surprising moments when God answers our prayers in the exact way we need, not the way we asked.

Sometimes the lesson comes wrapped in irony. Sometimes it stings. But often, on the other side, we find healing, clarity, and peace.

Inside the Episode

• God’s answers don’t always match our expectations. Prayer isn’t a wish list—it’s a relationship that shapes us.
• Uncomfortable experiences can reveal what needs to change inside us. Sandy shares how her own prayer about judgment led to a very unexpected (and humbling) answer.
• Obedience and distraction are real struggles. Lanée opens up about moments when God’s answer required more trust than she was ready for.
• Silence creates space for clarity. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is put the phone down and sit quietly in God’s presence.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated or discouraged by unanswered prayers—or prayers answered in unwanted ways—this episode offers encouragement, hope, and a reminder that God sees the bigger picture.

We know that Scripture is the primary way God speaks to us—but many of us still wonder how to recognize His voice in everyday life. In this episode of Imagine Yourself, we revisit a powerful conversation with Kelli Shelton, co-founder of Seek Well Ministries, who joined us to talk about how to quiet the noise and truly listen for God.

Kelli’s insight is both deeply spiritual and refreshingly practical. She reminds us that hearing from God isn’t about striving harder—it’s about slowing down, being still, and letting His truth guide our hearts.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this conversation:

1. 🕊️ How to create space to hear from God in the middle of a busy, noisy world.
2. 📖 Why Scripture always remains the foundation for anything we believe God is saying.
3. 💭 Ways God speaks beyond words—through peace, conviction, and quiet nudges.
4. ❤️ What to do when God feels silent, and how to trust that He’s still present.
5. 🌿 How to practice spiritual stillness so you can become more aware of His voice.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God is speaking—or how to recognize His voice—this episode will give you clarity, peace, and a fresh perspective on what it means to truly listen.

With Guests: Caregivers Karen Wright, who supported her husband through his cancer journey, learning to move from grief to gratitude and rediscover herself along the way and Arlene McPhee, caregiver to her 90-year-old mother, newly retired and starting her next chapter of life.  

🔑 Highlights

• Real stories: Arlene and Karen share the breaking points that made them realize self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.
• Faith at the center: How prayer, rest, and trusting God helped them trade burnout for renewal.
• Breaking isolation: Why caregivers need community, and how to move past “superwoman syndrome.”
• Everyday renewal: From short walks to honest conversations, small acts of soul-care make a big difference.
• Practical wisdom: The “Be, Know, Do” principles—be present, know your limits, do give and receive grace—paired with the “Three F’s”—find yourself, fill your cup, find community.

💡 This episode offers hope and practical faith-filled wisdom for caregivers, but also encouragement for anyone stretched thin in life’s difficult seasons.

If you’ve been feeling distant—from the people you love or even from God—you’re not alone. Life has a way of sweeping us into a current of deadlines, responsibilities, and distractions until we suddenly realize the relationships that mean the most have been running on autopilot.

But what if that undercurrent of dissatisfaction, that quiet ache you’ve been feeling, is a signal? A reminder that our joy is tied to something we can’t buy, schedule, or check off a list—our relationships.

In this episode of Imagine Yourself, we’re talking about how to keep those relationships strong when life just won’t slow down. From small daily choices that breathe life back into our connections, to learning the ministry of presence, to setting boundaries that help us show up with our best selves—this is about protecting what matters most before the noise of life drowns it out.

Don’t let busyness steal the best part of life. Press play and start nurturing the relationships that matter most—starting today.

What if you’re already walking in God’s purpose for your life—and just haven’t seen it that way yet?

So many of us spend years searching, striving, and stressing over what our “true purpose” is. We wait for a big sign, a dramatic shift, or a perfect opportunity to make it all clear. But what if God is already using you, right where you are?

In this episode, we dive into the idea that living in purpose isn’t always about doing something new—it’s often about seeing the familiar with fresh eyes. Through faith-filled conversation, we explore how God weaves purpose into our daily lives, our relationships, and even our struggles.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re missing your calling, or if you’re “falling behind,” this episode will encourage you to stop chasing and start recognizing how God is already at work.
