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

In these deep waters, we often encounter moments that lead to deep conversations with ourselves and with others. In today’s episode Kristin shares a conversation with her son Sawyer, who experienced a profound dream that led him to make some big decisions but ultimately put his trust in the Lord. 

After sharing his dream, Sawyer felt called to put aside something he deeply loved. This is where his journey becomes a testament to faith and trust. His dream had revealed to him that while he might be putting aside a beloved passion, there was something better lined up for him in the future. This is a profound realization that not only requires faith in oneself but also faith in the Holy Spirit. 

Our faith and willingness to navigate life's deep waters with the Holy Spirit will ultimately lead us to a greater sense of purpose, fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of our calling.

In today’s episode Kristin invites you into an encounter that she had, an encounter that allowed her to open her heart and hands to receive the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

The encounter invites you to ask for your gifts, not in a material sense, but the gifts of the spirit – love, wisdom, guidance, and grace. It prompts us to open our hands and hearts wide, to be ready to accept the blessings that were intended for us.

The question asked was profound: "What gifts are you giving me today?" This was a reminder that we are continually receiving gifts from the Holy Spirit. 

Encounters with the Holy Spirit are an opportunity to deepen our relationship with the Lord, to receive the gifts that he has in store for us, and to grow in our spiritual journey. Embrace these moments, extend the invitation, and let your heart and hands be open to the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit that await you.

The gift of tongues is undoubtedly one of those subjects that sparks hesitation. For many, it remains a conversation fraught with uncertainty, avoided due to fear and misunderstanding. Yet, beneath the surface of these deep waters, there exists an opportunity for profound spiritual growth and discovery. 

Kristin continues her journey through the deep waters and brings listeners into a conversation centered around the gift of tongues. To fully understand the gift of tongues, we must take a deep dive into the scripture.

Our hesitancy to engage with the gift of tongues often stems from fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of ridicule, or fear of misunderstanding. However, it's crucial to remember that fear has no place in spiritual growth. We should approach this gift with open hearts, ready to embrace what we might not fully comprehend.

While we might not fully grasp the intricacies of this gift, the desire to raise ourselves up to "taste and see that He is good" is an essential step in nurturing our spiritual lives

 It is an opportunity to explore the depths of spirituality and unveil the mysteries that lie within.

During our walk with the Lord, there are often times where we yearn for a deeper connection and we find ourselves navigating in deep spiritual waters. In today’s episode Kristin invites mentor Leah Moore for a conversation on fasting, prayers, and how they become the compass that guides us through these deeper waters.

Leah welcomes listeners into the concept behind fasting, why we do it, and the power it can offer us during our Christian journey. Fasting equips us with spiritual discipline and self-control allowing us to stay anchored in our faith. Leah takes us into the incredible power that prayer and fasting offer us when they’re combined. The door to a deeper relationship with the Lord opens when we engage in both fasting and prayers. Fasting humbles us, making us more receptive to God's guidance, while prayers connect us to his heart. 

There are moments when we find ourselves delving into the deep waters of our soul, seeking a closer connection with the Lord. Fasting and prayers, like inseparable twins, serve as powerful tools to help us navigate these spiritual depths.

The deep water series is a profound exploration of our yearning for a deeper and more intimate connection with the Lord. It's the journey to go beyond the surface of our practices, to dive deep into the spiritual waters that nourish our souls. This spiritual journey is precisely what Kristin and David are delving into as they explore the invitation to dive into the deep waters of connecting with Christ.

Kristin and David emphasize that this is a journey of relationship. As in any other relationship, time, effort, and dedication are required. Without investing in it ourselves, we cannot expect to understand and connect with God on a deep level. 

This series is extending a heartfelt invitation to experience something beyond the ordinary. It's an invitation to feel the divine presence in the depths of our souls, to know God intimately, and to allow Him to know us in return. It's about experiencing a connection that is transformative and life-changing.

As the conversation between Kristin and David unfolded, one thing became abundantly clear: this journey is not a destination but a continuous pursuit. It's about embracing the unknown and being open to the mysteries of faith. David's experience as a life development and spiritual growth coach provides listeners with knowledge, experience, and a beacon of hope that a deeper connection with the Lord is the first step to diving into deep waters.

Kristin takes a journey into deeper waters alongside her good friend, Jenny. As they delved into their discussion, it became clear that deep waters represent the ongoing reliance on our faith. Just as the ocean is vast and seemingly endless, so are the challenges and uncertainties that life presents us. In these moments, we must turn to our faith, trusting that it will provide us with the strength and guidance needed to navigate through the depths.

One powerful aspect of our faith journey is the ability to meet with God in our thoughts. In these quiet moments of reflection, we can establish a deeper connection with our spirituality. During their conversation, Jenny and Kristin also discussed the importance of not being judgmental in our thoughts. By maintaining a continuous reliance on Him, we become more attuned to his calling. It's not about dwelling on the depths of our struggles but recognizing opportunities for growth and transformation.

As Christians, we understand that Jesus is our anchor in the deep waters of life. He meets us in our deep heart places, offering solace and guidance when we need it most. Deep waters symbolize the continuous reliance on our faith, the importance of non-judgmental thinking, and the transformative power of accepting Jesus into our lives. As we navigate life's uncertainties, may we find comfort in believing that we are never truly alone.

In our faith journey we often find ourselves diving into the deep waters of God, seeking to understand His will and purpose for our lives. One of the profound gifts that can help us navigate these spiritual depths is the gift of discernment. It's a gift that enables us to perceive and understand the hidden and sometimes subtle aspects of God's plan.

Kristin introduces listeners to a deeper understanding of the gift of discernment and how we can actively partner with the Holy Spirit. Instead of merely sensing something, we can engage with God's Spirit and ask Him what He's leading us to do.

The gift of discernment is a remarkable spiritual tool that can guide us in our journey of faith. So, as you dive into the gift of discernment, remember to open yourself to His leading, actively seek His guidance, and trust those gut-check moments. In doing so, you'll find yourself navigating the deep waters of God's will with confidence and clarity.
