Getting Personal With God

Getting Personal With God

New Episodes Weekly! Do you wish you enjoyed your time with God — with a rhythm you could keep? Do you long to feel His presence, hear His voice, and stop wrestling with guilt when you pray? I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you get to know God, his ways, and intentions toward you. As you discover who He truly is, you’ll want more time with Him — and along the way you’ll find yourself laughing more, resting more, and growing in confidence. I’m Lenora — a mom, Jesus-lover, and former international trainer. At times, I dreaded my “quiet time.” I assumed I was putting God first because I went to church and checked off the boxes. But inside, I often felt bored, guilty, and even a little resentful. Then God broke through my assumptions. He showed me He wasn’t like everyone else — and that the change I longed for would come as I discovered how loved I really was. So I started learning in ways that fit how I best connect. Simple but powerful truths began to set my heart free. My walk with God shifted and my time with Him from boredom and duty into joy, peace, and true friendship. And now I’m sharing it with you. If you’re ready to uncover the roots holding you back… If you grew up in church but still feel stuck… If you’re longing for peace, better sleep, fresh energy, real joy, and hope for your future — this podcast is for you. So grab a comfy spot or listen on the go — it’s time to get personal with your best Friend - God ------ Note about the first 40 episodes: The original name for this podcast was "3Ps in a Pod". It's been a journey...You'll hear old titles in the introductions of older episodes from 2020-24; "Getting Personal with God" best fits my hope for us all.
