Let’s be honest—many of us are doing all the “right” things: We’re reading our Bibles. We’re praying. We’re serving. We’re leading. And yet… we still feel disconnected from God.
We wonder, Why can’t I hear Him? Why does He feel so far? Is it something I’m doing wrong?
In today’s episode, we’re gently (but boldly) reframing those questions—and offering a new perspective rooted in both neuroscience and spirit-led truth.
You’ll hear:
-
Why you might not have a hearing problem—you might have a nervous system problem
-
How trauma, stress, and high-functioning burnout impact your ability to feel safe in stillness
-
The brain science behind why intimacy with God feels so hard when you're in survival mode
-
Why rest and regulation are the gateways to spiritual clarity—not more religious effort
-
How performance and pressure often mask a deep disconnection from yourself
-
The freedom that comes when we stop hustling for God and start being with Him
This conversation is for the woman who’s tired of trying harder, doing more, and still feeling like she’s missing something.
You are not spiritually broken. You are just ready for a new rhythm—one of peace, presence, and partnership with the Holy Spirit.
