When was the last time you felt like God might be speaking to you and you weren't sure if it was really Him? By the end of this episode, I think you're going to see yourself in Samuel's story- a young boy learning to hear God’s voice. In this episode you'll walk away with: Practical anchors for positioning yourself to actually hear His voice The courage to find your “Elis” — the people who help you discern and say "that sounds like the Lord" A simple, surrendered prayer that changes everything: "Speak, Lord, for your servant hears" This Week's Invitation: -Set aside intentional time each day this week to simply minister to the Lord — no agenda, no list, just presence and worship. -Practice whispering the prayer: "Speak, Lord, for your servant hears." Sit quietly for even 5 minutes, listening for a nudge, a picture, a Scripture, or a name that comes to mind. -Identify your Elis — who are the people in your life who help you discern God's voice? Reach out to one of them this week. -Write down any moment recently when you sensed God might be speaking. Don't run past it. What is He saying to your heart? Journal Prompts: God, what have You been trying to say to me in this season that I may have run past or not recognized as Your voice?What does the phrase "Speak, Lord, for your servant hears" bring up in me? Is there an area where I find it hard to fully surrender and listen?Samuel grew and "none of his words fell to the ground." What does it look like for me to grow into someone who hears and carries God's words faithfully?

In this episode, I invite you into a beautiful part of the Passover tradition called Dayenu—a song of overwhelming gratitude that declares "it would have been enough." As we approach Easter and Passover, I share how this tradition can transform the way we remember God's faithfulness, not just in the big Red Sea moments, but in the everyday manna moments too. Key Points Dayenu is a Passover song meaning "it would have been enough"—an expression of overwhelming gratitudeJesus sang these hymns at the Last Supper, connecting Passover to His sacrifice as the spotless LambThe wine represents Jesus's blood; the bread (matzah) represents His body broken for usGratitude and worship don't just lift our spirits—they help regulate our nervous systemGod provides both Red Sea moments (the big breakthroughs) and everyday manna moments (daily provision) What Is Your Dayenu? If you sat at a table with loved ones, what would your list be? The Practice: "If You had only ________, it would have been enough. But then You also ________." Examples: If God had only paid my bills that month, dayenu—it would have been enoughIf God had only given me healing, dayenu—it would have been enoughIf God had only showed up in that moment, dayenu—it would have been enough This Week's Invitation Choose one of these practices to remind yourself of God's faithfulness: Journal Method: Write out your own Dayenu list—all the ways you've witnessed God's goodness firsthandPost-It Note Method: Write 3 things God has done on sticky notes and place them on your bathroom mirror, coffee pot, or car dashboardSpoken Gratitude: Say out loud throughout your day: "If You had only ________, it would have been sufficient" Practice recognizing both the big Red Sea moments AND the everyday manna moments where God provides. Reflection Questions What are three specific moments where you've seen God's faithfulness with your own eyes?Where do you need to be reminded of God's character, glory, and beauty right now?What everyday manna moments (small, daily provisions) can you thank God for today? Journal Prompts Complete this sentence 5-10 times: "If You had only ________, it would have been enough. But then You also ________."What Red Sea moments (big breakthroughs) has God brought you through?What manna moments (daily provision) are you overlooking that deserve gratitude?

Have you ever felt a wild nudge in your spirit to let go of something familiar and leap into the unknown with God? In this episode, Kristin shares one of her most cherished Rocks of Remembrance — a marker of God's faithfulness that she and her husband have carried through multiple seasons of bold, Spirit-led risk. It's called Jump Ship. And it might be exactly what you needed to hear today. In this episode you'll discover: What a Rock of Remembrance is and why we need them The Jump Ship story — what it means to take a full, courageous leap of faith with God Why a half-hearted surrender will get you hurt and what full surrender actually looks like The powerful God-confirmation moment at a retreat that marked this rock forever How Joshua and Caleb show us what it looks like to fight for our inheritance with courage and community Why we all need a Caleb — someone who speaks hope when the waves feel overwhelming This week's invitation: Take some time this week to sit quietly with the Lord and ask Him — is there a Jump Ship moment He is inviting me into right now? Write down what comes up. Then ask — who is my Caleb in this season? Reach out to that person this week and share where you are. Journal prompts: What ship have I been standing on that feels familiar and comfortable but God may be asking me to leave? Where have I experienced God's faithfulness in a past leap of faith? What would full surrender look like for me right now — not half-hearted, but all in? Reflection question: In what ways have you taken a risk or a leap of faith and witnessed God's faithfulness on the other side?

The beginning of the Gospel according to Luke starts with these penned words… “Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting to me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in an orderly sequence, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/2692/luk.1.1-4.NASB2020 Earlier on in the Old Testament Joshua was told to stack stones after crossing the Jordan River on dry ground as a symbol of God's faithfulness towards His children. What if we sat down and wrote a letter about what God has done in our lives? What if we sat for a moment and meditated on the "rocks of remembrance" in our lives? What are the testimonies of God we would share? Take time to sit down and ask the Holy Spirit to help you visualize what your rocks are? Use your imagination to picture the words, the testimonies you have been witness to.

In the previous episode, we talked about God as our refuge and our God of justice from Psalm 9. Today, we're moving from head knowledge to heart experience - we're going to encounter Him as our refuge. This is a guided meditation where you'll bring your burdens, your injustices, your heavy feelings to Jesus and experience Him as your high shelter and perfect hiding place. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and let the Holy Spirit meet you right where you are. You are not forgotten. There is hope. Psalm 9:9-10 (TPT): "All who are oppressed may come to Yahweh as a high shelter in the time of trouble. A perfect hiding place. For everyone who knows your wonderful name keeps putting their trust in you. They can count on you for help no matter what. Oh Lord, you will never, no, never neglect those who come to you."

The world feels heavy with injustice right now - human trafficking, war, violence, oppression. Maybe you're not just watching it on the news - maybe you're living it. Where is God in all this suffering? Psalm 9 has an answer for us. God sees every injustice, He cares deeply about the oppressed, and He is our refuge RIGHT NOW - not someday in heaven, but today in the midst of the mess. In this episode, we are going back into our Encountering the Psalms series- Psalm 9, to discover God as our high shelter and perfect hiding place, and how He's inviting us to partner with Him, as well. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED: Psalm 9 (Passion Translation) Psalm 9:9-10 (key verses) Hosea 2:15 KEY THEMES: God Sees Injustice God Is Our Refuge NOW God Calls Us to Partner With His Justice QUOTES: Charles Spurgeon on Psalm 9: "We have here before us most engagingly a triumphal hymn, may it strengthen the faith of the militant believer and stimulate courage of the timid saint." Psalm 9:10 (TPT): "You will never, no, never neglect those who come to you." Journal Prompts: What cause is God calling you to partner with? How can you support organizations fighting injustice? What injustice are you personally facing that you need to bring to God as your refuge? NEXT EPISODE: Episode 249: "Encountering God as Your Refuge" (Psalm 9 Encounter) Join us for a guided encounter where we'll practice bringing our burdens to God and experiencing Him as our shelter.

Ep. 247 Five Postures of Encountering God: Lessons from Psalm 27In this teaching episode, I invite you to walk through five powerful Hebrew verbs from Psalm 27:4-5 that reveal how we position ourselves for intimacy with Jesus in the Secret Place. These aren't just nice religious words—they're action words that teach us how to move from knowing about God to truly encountering Him in the land of the living, right here, right now. Key PointsOur word for the year: "Behold" (based on Isaiah 43:18-19 and Psalm 27:4-5)The five distinct postures David uses to encounter God: desire, seek, dwell, behold, inquireHow each Hebrew verb reveals a deeper layer of intimacy with the LordTransformation happens not in the doing, but in the being and beholdingWe can see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living—not someday, but today The Five Postures Explained1. Desire (Sha'al) - Holy hunger that starts with Him 2. Seek (Baqash) - Active pursuit through worship, prayer, and study 3. Dwell (Yashab) - Staying present, making home in His presence 4. Behold (Chazah) - Gazing at Jesus with delight, encountering Him 5. Inquire (Bakar) - Bringing honest questions and searching for His heart This Week's InvitationPractice one posture each day: Monday: Desire - Ask God to stir holy hunger in youTuesday: Seek - Actively pursue Him through worship and prayerWednesday: Dwell - Spend extra time just being in His presenceThursday: Behold - Gaze at Jesus and delight in who He isFriday: Inquire - Bring your questions and journal His responses Reflection QuestionsWhich of the five postures comes most naturally to you?Which posture challenges you the most?What would it look like to approach God this week with all five postures instead of rushing through a checklist? Journal PromptsRead through Psalm 27 and write down what the Holy Spirit highlights to youWhat did you see, hear, or feel during the encounter time at the end of this episode?Track what God reveals to you through each posture this week Music provided by SoundStripe “Monte Rosa” by Alsever Lake “Hol” by Stephen Keech CONNECT WITH KRISTIN📱 Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick 📘 Facebook: @KristinFieldsChadwick 🌐 Website: www.kristinfieldschadwick.com ☕ Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/kchadwick SHARE THIS EPISODEKnow someone who wants to go after the more?

What if your vision board about what GOD is doing this year that He's inviting you into? In this episode, I'm walking you through how to create a Kingdom-centered vision board that flows from intimacy with Jesus, honors your current season, and leads to real transformation. This episode will help you approach visioning from a place of listening, surrender, and wholistic alignment with God's purposes for your life. JOURNAL PROMPTS:Recognize where you currently are. What season am I in? What season am I entering into? Where are you feeling discouraged? Hopeless? Hopeful? Ask the Father, what do you see when you look at me? What are some of the promises, prophetic words, etc. you want to remind me in this season? Who are you to me in this season? What part of your personality do you want to reveal to me, God? What do I need to shift in my mindset to become the person you already see me to be in this season?What have you been repeatedly highlighting for me? A verse? A phrase? A song? In this season, what is bringing you joy?What areas do you feel the Lord calling you into an upgrade?
