Season 2 Episode #24 | Restart Spiritual Disciplines When You Feel Spiritually Distant from God

*Have you stopped praying regularly… stopped reading your Bible… and then started feeling spiritually distant from God?

In this episode, we’re talking honestly about what happens when your spiritual disciplines fall apart — and how we can gently start rebuilding Christian habits like prayer, Bible reading, and quiet time with God.

I’m sharing my own experience of realizing I don’t have strong spiritual routines right now, and my heart to rebuild daily spiritual disciplines in 2026 without guilt, shame, or unrealistic pressure.

This episode will help you take small, grace-filled steps back into Christian spiritual habits that draw you closer to Jesus.

***

Friend, if you feel spiritually dry, distracted, or disconnected from God — you are not alone, and you are not too far gone. You can rebuild your relationship with God one small discipline at a time.

This is your invitation to start again just as I am!

23 | Epiphany, Fasting, and Transformation: Pressing Pause for God’s Clarity

Celebrate and remember the day of Epiphany with me as I share why January is all about fasting, prayer, and spiritual alignment. In this special episode, I discuss joining Transformation Church's 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting in a focused season of seeking God, pressing pause on life’s distractions, and preparing for Season 2 of the podcast, launching February 2026.

Learn why slowing down and stepping back can be the boldest act of faith, and how fasting and prayer can create space for clarity, transformation, and renewed vision in your life. I also close the episode with a powerful prayer, inviting God to refine, realign, and empower us for what’s next.

Whether you’re navigating a season of spiritual reset, seeking guidance during fasting, or looking to grow stronger in faith, this episode will inspire and equip you to press pause with purpose.
