December 02, 202543-How to Hear God and Respond Like Moses: Christmas Presence Series #1
LEARNING TO HEAR AND RESPOND-The Shema isn’t just an ancient prayer. It’s a living posture that teaches you how to hear God and respond in a way that shapes your life. In this episode, we look at how Moses lived a real relationship with God through honest conversation, obedience, and trust, and how God responded to Moses with clarity, compassion, and presence. You’ll see that hearing God isn’t passive at all — it’s a relational rhythm where your attention, honesty, and steps matter, and where God truly listens and moves toward you in return.
Key Takeaways
Shema means hearing in a way that leads to movement, loyalty, and relationship.
Moses models honest listening and responsive action, and God responds to Moses with care and power.
A shema life is attentive, intentional, and built on trust that God hears you too.
Action Guide
Slow down long enough this week to notice one “burning bush” moment — a nudge, a pull, an idea, a conversation — and turn aside instead of walking past it. Ask God what He’s saying, then take one small step of response.

November 25, 202542-God Wants to Talk to You: Jordan Bailey on Knowing Truth
A QUIETED MIND CREATES A CLEARER TRUTH - Hearing God is not some elite, far-off spiritual skill. It’s the doorway to mental health, identity, and a whole different way of living. In this conversation with creative communicator and home-baker-turned-entrepreneur Jordan Bailey, we talk about hearing God, healing from lies, and learning how to live from the truth of who you really are.
Key Takeaways
Hearing God is foundational for mental health because truth untangles the lies that create instability.
Listening prayer is simple and accessible, and it brings clarity, peace, and a grounded sense of identity.
Your story, your gifts, and even your pain will naturally flow into your work, your influence, and your calling when you live from truth instead of fear.
Action Guide
Take 10 minutes today for listening prayer. Ask one question: “What lie am I believing?” Let God show you the truth. Sit with it. Say yes to it. Let it shape the way you walk into the rest of your day.

November 18, 202541-Facing Grief & Anger
WHEN IT GETS WORSE FIRST – Grief has layers, and sometimes the anger that rises to the surface is just the first sign that something deeper is trying to heal. In this episode, I share my own season of transition, loss, and overwhelm, and how the PEARL Practice helps us recognize what’s underneath anger so we can feel it without letting it lead us into harmful patterns. This is about understanding why it feels worse before it gets better, and how to be angry without letting anger run your life.
Key Takeaways
• Anger is often a signal of unprocessed grief, change, or internal pressure, not a personal failure.
• The PEARL Practice shows how anger moves from thought to emotion to action, and where we can interrupt the cycle.
• “Worse first” moments usually mean healing is happening, not that you’re going backward.
Action Guide
Pay attention to one moment of anger this week. Instead of reacting, pause long enough to ask, “What am I believing right now, and what’s actually true.” Name the feeling, let it settle in your body, and choose one small stabilizing response instead of a default reaction.

November 11, 202540-Breaking Cycles: Dori Morelock on Craving Freedom
BEYOND THE CRAVING- What do you do when you keep saying, “I’m going to change,” but you keep hearing the same shame tapes? In this convo with your 'Crave Coach' Dori Morelock, we talk about why it is so hard to change hardwired habits, what’s really underneath your 'crave behavior,' and how to invite God into the exact moments you usually check out, scroll, eat, drink, spend, or binge. You’ll hear Dori’s story of healing and loss, and how God led her to build tools that help women retrain their brains and walk in their calling instead of staying stuck in shame.

Key Takeaways
Hardwired habits are often survival strategies that once helped you cope, which is why willpower alone is not enough to change them.
Cravings are “smoke,” not the fire. Underneath the shopping, scrolling, eating, drinking, or numbing is a deeper unmet need like connection, comfort, or being seen.
Real change comes from small, honest shifts over time as you invite God into your trigger times, tell the truth about your needs, and respond to cravings in new, healthier ways.
Listener Challenge
Name your “one thing” today: the crave behavior that came to mind as you listened. Then identify your main trigger time or trigger situation around it. This week, instead of trying to be perfect, choose one small change to your usual routine in that moment and invite Jesus into it on purpose. Ask Him, “What am I really needing right now?” and “What is one different choice I can make today?” Write down what you notice and how it changes your sense of shame, pressure, or peace.

Key Takeaways
• Rhythms turn renewal into sustainability.
• Boundaries are waterlines, not walls.

October 28, 202538-Emptied Out & Filled Up Series: Renewal – Being Refilled
LEARNING TO RECEIVE – Renewal isn’t just about stopping; it’s about being refilled. In this episode, we talk about what true renewal looks like—spiritual, emotional, physical, and creative—and how to reconnect to the Source so life can flow through you again.
Key Takeaways
• Renewal begins when you stop trying to fill yourself.
• You were designed for overflow, not depletion.
• God restores what you surrender to Him.
Action Guide
List three things that genuinely refill your soul and schedule one this week as non-negotiable time. Treat it like oxygen, not a luxury.

October 21, 202537-Emptied Out & Filled Up Series: Permission – The Power Of Stopping
REST WITHOUT GUILT – Once you see your exhaustion, the next step is letting yourself rest. Permission means releasing perfection, productivity, and the belief that everything depends on you. In this episode, I share what it looks like to stop striving, give yourself grace for being in process, and trust that God’s still working even when you aren’t.
Key Takeaways
• Permission is the bridge between awareness and healing.
• You’re allowed to rest, be imperfect, and take time to process.
• Stillness is not weakness—it’s trust.
Action Guide
Take one thing off your list this week and let it stay undone on purpose. When guilt shows up, remind yourself that God’s grace is big enough to hold your unfinished places.

October 14, 202536-Emptied Out & Filled Up Series: Awareness - Realizing You’re Depleted
SEEING WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING – There’s a kind of tired that sleep can’t fix. It’s when your soul starts whispering for attention and you finally stop long enough to listen. In this episode, I talk about the signs of depletion, how to recognize when you’ve crossed from tired into empty, and why awareness is the first doorway to healing.
Key Takeaways
• Awareness begins when you stop pretending you’re fine.
• Depletion isn’t failure—it’s a signal.
• God can only heal what you’re willing to name.
Action Guide
Pause today and name one area of your life that feels drained—body, mind, or spirit. Don’t fix it. Just acknowledge it and invite God into the truth of where you are.

October 07, 202535-Why We Long for People Who “Get” Us
MATCHING ENERGY VS. LOVING DIFFERENCE- We all crave people who meet us where we are—who bring the same spark, curiosity, or inspiration we carry. But not everyone will. In this episode, Laura unpacks what it really means to “match energy,” why that desire is natural, and how to keep loving and honoring those who move at a different pace.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
“Energy” often means shared intensity, interest, or inspiration.
Matching energy feels easy, but loving difference builds maturity.
People who don’t match your rhythm often grow your patience, humility, and compassion.
ACTION GUIDE:
Pay attention this week to who energizes you and who slows you down. Instead of judging either, ask what each person might be teaching you about love, balance, or rhythm.
ROOTS:
Romans 12:16 – “Live in harmony with one another.”
1 Corinthians 12:14 – “For the body does not consist of one part but of many.”
