Advertise on podcast: Eyes to See

NEW THINGS! I will be doing lives on IG and pushing them over to the podcast. Please enjoy, real and raw lives with no editing! Thanks for being here! Best Conversation today, with Ganel-Lyn, my sweet cousin about her new book, "Sourdough and the Savior". We talked about having Eyes to See the Savior during seasons of uncertainty. Writing down blessings in the morning and a miracle at night before bed. I love this quote from her book, "Because of God, seasons of uncertainties and unknowns can become times of rest and recalibration. I don't have all the answers, but because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I witness that all your worries and woes can be transformed into miracles and meaning. It just takes time".

Some conversations feel full circle. This is one of them. In this special episode of Eyes to See podcast, Brittany sits down with Michelle Craig for a deeply meaningful conversation about learning to recognize Christ in the details of everyday life, trusting Him through seasons of change, and becoming who He knows we can become. This episode is especially personal, as Michelle's message from the 2020 April General Conference helped inspire the name and heart of Eyes to See. Together, they talk about: Seeing Christ in ordinary momentsTrusting God when life feels uncertainDoing the small and simple thingsBeing aware of distractionsBeing in Holy places while being "Wholly" there.If you've ever struggled to feel close to God, wondered if He sees you, or simply needed a reminder that Christ is nearer than you think... this conversation is for you.

This is an episode about Finding the Lord in the Pauses. SELAH. Selah is a Hebrew word, it means to pause, and give rest. So, if your life feels overwhelming and you're trying to keep everything together. In those moments of chaos, God is saying, " COME sit with me. Let's be still for a moment. Let My peace fill this space." THIS IS SELAH. This is a short 8 minute episode. A PAUSE in your day, maybe you can listen too. I'm back. It's been a minute, but I found peace in the pause. I hope you can to in this episode. Happy Listening. Brittany
