Wholistic Hearts- A Journey from the Head to the Heart, Encounters with Jesus

Kristin is welcoming listeners into this new series: Encountering the Book of Psalms. This isn’t just about reading scripture—it’s about experiencing the heart of God.

The Psalms show us a whole and honest heart. They hold grief and hope, joy and fear, peace in the middle of anxiety. They remind us that we’re not alone in our emotions—and that God meets us right in the middle of them.

As you read, read slowly. Let the words anchor you. Let them point you back to Him.

This series is an invitation to experience—not just study—the living God through the Psalms.

Kristin welcomes Chantal, author of Voice of the Queen, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to encounter God.

For Chantal, the throne room wasn’t just a metaphor. It was something she stepped into and experienced in a deeply personal way. Through Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4, she helps us understand what happens when we meet with God—not in theory, but in reality. When we stop talking about Him and actually listen for His voice, everything begins to shift.

God is always moving forward. He isn’t stuck in our past, and He’s not asking us to live there either. The enemy wants you to believe your history defines you, but God has already written the full story. And He’s inviting you into what’s ahead.

That kind of encounter brings up honest, searching questions. What are you asking Him these days? Have you asked Him to father you? And if you have, have you taken the time to really listen for His response?

Something happens when you sit with God and hear what He’s speaking over your life. It’s quiet, but it’s powerful. And after that kind of experience, returning to what once felt familiar often doesn’t feel the same anymore.

This conversation is more than a moment—it’s an invitation to meet with the God who already sees what’s next.

Kristin leads you into an encounter that invites you to explore the secret place—the quiet, personal space where you meet with God.

It’s not heavily guided. Just enough to create space, ask a question, and let Him speak.

You’re encouraged to pause and imagine:

What does the secret place look like for you?

For some, it looks like a garden.

For others, it’s the beach.

Or a quiet space tucked inside your heart.

There’s no right or wrong. It’s personal. It’s yours. And He’s there.

Take a deep breath, lean in, and ask:

“God, what does the secret place look like for me?”

Let this episode be an invitation to slow down, notice, and be with Him in whatever place He shows you.

There’s a place deep within each of us that doesn’t need to perform, prove, or strive. It’s quiet—not because life is—but because God meets us there in stillness.

This is the secret place.

It’s not hidden from us. It’s hidden for us.

The secret place isn’t just about carving out quiet time in a busy schedule. It’s about connection. Intimacy. A moment set apart between you and God, where your heart is fully known and fully safe.

God is always available. Always near. He doesn’t need perfect words or a perfect setup—just your willingness to pause and come close.

This hidden space, where your heart meets His, is where everything changes.

He’s not asking you to do more. He’s inviting you to be with Him.

Join Eugene today for a beautiful encounter with Jesus as we reflect on Passion Week—the final, sacred days of Jesus' life. Through this time of procession and recess, we are invited not just to observe, but to enter into a deep conversation with Him.

Jesus is offering us Himself—his limitless hope, his freedom, his newness. In this intimate space, we are called to reflect on the depths of his sacrifice and the profound love he is pouring out.

Let this week be a moment of true encounter, where we allow him to have his way with our lives, guiding us into a deeper understanding of his hope and freedom. 

Embrace the beauty of this journey with Eugene, as we walk closer to the heart of Jesus in Passion Week.

What Goliath is standing in front of you right now?

The one that taunts you. Intimidates you. Speaks lies louder than truth.

In 1 Samuel 17, David walks toward Goliath—not with heavy armor, but with full confidence in the God beside him. Graham Cooke describes it not just as a battle, but as an encounter—a moment with God filled with presence and promise.

You’re invited into that same kind of moment. Join Kristin in today's encounter. 

Take time today to pause and ask:

• What are the Goliaths you are fighting?
• Who is the God behind you, beside you, and with you?
• What is the weapon you have been given to respond to your enemies?

The closer you get to Him, the smaller the giant becomes.

The Sabbath is a chance to pause, listen, and reflect. It’s a time to step back, encounter Jesus in the everyday, and allow Him to speak.

Kristin is reflecting on ten questions today to guide your conversation with Jesus. This serves as a simple guide to help you take a Sabbath Pause—a moment to be still, free of distractions and agendas. Just breathe and let your heart settle. In the quiet, open yourself to reflection. Consider what you need to release, where you have seen God’s presence, and what He may be inviting you into.

This pause is an invitation to trust, breathe, and begin again.

Kristin is joined by Laura for another deep and powerful conversation about stepping into the new life God has given us. This episode is full of encouragement, validation, and a reminder that it’s okay to leave the past behind in order to seek Him fully.

A foundational truth of the kingdom is that we are made new in Christ. Yet so often, we find ourselves trying to fix, repair, or perfect our old selves—as if Jesus came to simply clean up our past rather than give us a completely new identity. But why would He resurrect what He has already made new?

The world offers countless ways to let go of what weighs us down, yet true freedom comes in returning to Him. Instead of striving to fix ourselves, the real work—the heart work—is in surrender. In trusting that we are already new, already whole, and already free in Him. Love what we are doing here on Wholistic Hearts, here are three ways to help us spread this Good News

In this conversation, Kristin welcomes her good friend, Laura, to explore what it truly means to renew the mind.It’s not about grand, overwhelming changes—it’s about simple, intentional shifts. A small act of obedience. A willingness to listen.

So often, negative thoughts hold us back, but renewal starts with awareness. How are we showing up in the world? Are we aligning our thoughts with what God has ordained? When we take the time to shift our mindset, even slightly, we begin to see transformation.

Renewing the mind isn’t a solo journey. Growth happens in community. Healing happens when we allow others to walk with us. And through it all, God raises us higher, filling us with hope and joy as we learn to align our thoughts with His truth.
