Friend, God sees the small things.

In this episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, host Diana Romero shares a reflection on the widow who gave two small coins—and captured the heart of Jesus.

Through the story in Mark 12, we're reminded that:

• God values motive over performance
• Faith matters more than applause
• What seems small on earth can echo into eternity

Your quiet obedience. Your unseen sacrifice. Your simple "yes."

It all matters to Him.

If you've ever wondered whether what you're giving is enough, let this episode encourage you: in God's kingdom, love and faith outweigh volume and visibility.

🎧 Join the conversation and experience the integrated life—faith, family, and work made whole again.

What if God isn't just giving you a word—but a call to action?

In this episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, Diana Romero shares a Spirit-led message about how God is shifting her rhythm—from long seasons of pondering to holy sprints of obedience. This conversation explores how God speaks through patterns, Scripture, the body, and even the unexpected moments of daily life.

From a lingering hip injury to shirts mysteriously being put on backwards, Diana invites listeners into her process of discerning God's voice and discovering the spiritual significance behind repeated patterns. Through Scripture—from Jacob wrestling with God to Jesus calling His disciples to "go to the other side"—this episode reveals a powerful truth:

👉 Obedience requires movement. 👉 Preparation precedes purpose. 👉 The other side holds rich soil, high productivity, abundance, and fruitfulness.

You'll hear encouragement to:

• Discern God's voice through patterns and Scripture
• Prepare for spiritual battle by "girding your loins"
• Move forward even when the journey includes storms
• Trust that where God is leading you is worth the work

This episode is for anyone who senses God saying, "It's time—don't overthink it. Move."

🎧 Tune in and be reminded: God is with you in the rowing, faithful in the storm, and intentional about where He's taking you. The other side is calling.

Have you ever had God speak a simple phrase that stopped you in your tracks? In this episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, Diana shares a powerful moment when the Holy Spirit whispered, "Water your seed." What began as a quiet word during a busy morning became a beautiful reminder of how God calls each of us to do our part in the Great Commission.

As Diana unpacks this gentle nudge from the Lord, she invites listeners to consider their own mission fields—at home, at work, in their communities, and through the ministries God places on their hearts. You'll hear how God led her to revisit Bring the Light Ministries, a Dallas-based ministry caring for "the least of these," and why this encore episode is a timely call to generosity, compassion, and faithful obedience.

Drawing from Scripture, Diana explores the truth that some plant, some water—but only God brings the increase. No matter your season or capacity, He has given you something to give: your time, your talents, your treasure, or even your platform.

🎧 Tune in today as Diana encourages you to ask the Lord, "What have You placed in my hands?" and rediscover how your small acts of obedience can become part of God's greater harvest.

Proverbs 3:27 (NLT), "Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them."

God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present. Satan is NOT.

In this episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, Diana Romero invites you to reflect on the supremacy of our God — the One who holds all wisdom, all authority, and all presence. You'll see through Scripture how God's power has no equal and how Satan, though deceptive, is limited, defeated, and under God's command.

From the fall of Lucifer to the victory of the cross, Diana reveals the truth that every believer needs to remember: 👉 God knows everything. 👉 God can do anything. 👉 God is everywhere. And Satan? He's none of these things.

Be encouraged to stand firm in faith, knowing the One who lives in you is greater than the one who "walks" the earth. The same God who created the heavens also empowers you where you work. His presence goes before you, His wisdom guides you, and His strength sustains you.

🎧 Listen now and be reminded — our God is ALL, and the enemy is defeated.
