In this Luke Challenge reflection, Hala walks through Luke chapter 22 and uncovers a powerful glimpse into spiritual warfare, prayer, and temptation. She reflects on Jesus’ words to Peter—where Satan demands to sift him like wheat—and the profound truth that Jesus is already praying for Peter’s faith before the failure even happens.

Hala also explores Jesus’ prayer on the Mount of Olives, noticing the connection between prayer and resisting temptation, the presence of angels sent to strengthen Jesus, and the darkness pressing in before His betrayal. Drawing parallels to the Passover story, she reflects on Jesus as the fulfillment and protection against the darkness.

This episode invites listeners to slow down in Scripture, listen for what stands out, and bring those moments honestly before God—especially in seasons of temptation, confusion, or spiritual battle.

In this episode of Spoonfuls of Honey, Hala reflects on an unexpectedly peaceful Christmas season and unpacks why it felt so different. Drawing from Matthew 7:7 and Luke 18, she explores the practice of ask, seek, knock and how consistently listening to God can transform daily life.

Hala shares real-life examples of how listening prayer led to practical changes—decluttering her home, saying no to unnecessary commitments, prioritizing relationships, and creating a calmer, more intentional rhythm for her family. She also reflects on what it means to pursue peace not just as a feeling, but as a way of being.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, pay attention to God’s gentle promptings, and trust that He truly wants to answer our prayers. If you’re longing for peace, clarity, and a deeper connection with God—especially during busy seasons—this conversation will encourage you to keep asking, seeking, and knocking.

Hala also shares how she supports others through listening prayer, one-on-one coaching, and retreats for those who want to learn how to hear God more clearly and live a Spirit-led life.

In Luke Challenge Day 21, Hala reflects on Luke chapter 21 and Jesus’ final public teachings before His betrayal and death. As Jesus warns His followers about what is to come, Hala notices His consistent invitation: stay awake, stay alert, and keep turning to Him for guidance in a world full of distractions and quick fixes.

This episode takes an unexpected and timely turn as Hala wrestles with a modern question—what if people sought Jesus the way they now turn to ChatGPT for answers? Through the widow’s offering, Jesus’ warnings, and His call to “watch yourselves,” Hala explores the contrast between seeking instant solutions and cultivating a daily dependence on the Holy Spirit.

A thoughtful reflection on discipleship in the digital age, this episode invites listeners to slow down, return to God for direction, and learn how to be guided by Jesus rather than the noise of the internet.

In Luke Challenge Day 20, Hala reflects on Luke chapter 20 and the striking contrast between heaven and earth. She explores the parable of the wicked tenants and Jesus’ conversation with the Sadducees about the resurrection, noticing how easily humans cling to control, ownership, and earthly priorities.

As Hala sits with Jesus’ words, she shares a deeper invitation she sensed from God: to let the reality of heaven excite us rather than grieve what we think we might lose. This episode gently reframes love, relationships, and power in light of eternity, reminding listeners that intimacy with God will outshine everything else.

A thoughtful and honest reflection on choosing God now, trusting His design, and courageously longing for the greater love that awaits.

She explores Jesus riding into Jerusalem as the fulfillment of prophecy, the powerful moment when praise cannot be silenced, and the tension between how people expected Jesus to save them and how He actually did. Drawing connections to modern faith, Hala invites listeners to examine where they may be shaping God to fit their own narrative. Through a surprising illustration from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she offers a memorable invitation to “hold on to the golden ticket” by trusting God’s ways—even when they’re hard to understand. This episode encourages humility, curiosity, and deeper attentiveness to what God may be stirring within.

In this Luke Challenge reflection on Luke 17, Hala explores two confronting themes Jesus weaves throughout the chapter: forgiveness and entitlement. Through honest confession, Scripture, and vivid storytelling, she reflects on the call to forgive repeatedly—not for others’ sake, but for our own freedom—and wrestles with the subtle ways entitlement can take root in the human heart.

Hala also dives into the story of the ten lepers, pondering why only one returned to thank Jesus and what it reveals about faith, gratitude, and deeper healing. As the episode unfolds, listeners are invited to consider what it means to run back to God, even when it means going alone, resisting the pull of other voices, and choosing presence with Him above all else.

This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to return—to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—again and again.

In this episode of the Spoonfuls of Honey podcast, Hala reflects on a deeply personal question many Christians wrestle with: How do we walk with people like Jesus—especially when they haven’t asked for spiritual guidance?

Drawing from her work as a Christian life coach, her study of Scripture, and a powerful “spoonful of honey” moment from her week, Hala explores the difference between walking with people versus trying to change them. She unpacks how Jesus only walked closely with those who accepted his invitation, and invited Him to walk with them in return—plus how that truth reshapes the way we approach relationships with friends, family, and loved ones.

This episode touches on:

• The difference between loving presence and unsolicited spiritual advice

• Why discernment matters in faith-based relationships

• How Jesus models joy by being “glad to be with us—no matter what”

• Why conviction from God never sounds like shame

• What it means to remain a learner, not a knower, in faith and relationships

Through reflections on the Psalms, listening prayer, and Psalm 90’s invitation to “number our days,” Hala invites listeners to ask God for wisdom in how they love others—and how they allow themselves to keep learning.

If you’ve ever felt hurt, confused, or unsure about how to walk with people who don’t share your faith (or don’t want your help), this episode offers gentleness, clarity, and hope.
