AI is changing our world quicker than any of us realize or are ready for, and it is impacting our relationship with God and ability to hear His voice. AI makes big promises about meeting our needs and making our lives better, but what if our neediness was a gift and not a burden to shrug off as quickly as possible? Through the lens of Wendell Berry's work on community and place, we'll look at how limits and needs are actually part of the groundwork God laid in the human race for deep relationship. When we ignore those limits and seek the quickest and most convenient ways possible to meet those needs, what do we miss out on? This episode gets practical for your discernment and faith journey with biblical encouragement and a very needed reframe in our digital distracted age. In a world that pulls at our hearts from all directions, Jesus is inviting us into depth of relationship that no man-made machine can match.

One year ago, I hit publish on the very first episode of Hearing God Daily, and today I'm reflecting on why this podcast exists, what God has done through it, and where He's leading next. In this anniversary episode, I'm sharing the original vision behind this space: a place for faith-filled women to explore what it really means to have a living, interactive relationship with the Holy Spirit. We talk about discernment, daily rhythms, and what it looks like to trust in God when you're just beginning to learn His voice. I'll also be reading some of your reviews, because this community is the heartbeat of this show, and sharing a special giveaway to celebrate. If you've been looking for biblical encouragement for your quiet time, or you're curious how journal prompts and Scripture can become a doorway into hearing God more clearly, I know you'll find a home here. Thank you for one beautiful year. Here's to what's ahead.

What do you do when busy doesn't just feel full, it feels heavy? In part two of our micro-journaling series, we go deeper into the anxiety and thought spirals that hide behind the busyness. Through scripture and biblical encouragement, we explore two journal prompts designed to help you grow in discernment, walk in faith, and trust in God when the weight of the season feels like too much.

Have you ever felt spiritually stuck, distant from God, or unsure whether what you're hearing is actually his voice? In this second part of my conversation with Diana Marie of Circle Time for the Soul, we get into the heart of discernment and faith journaling, and how putting pen to paper can be one of the most powerful tools for deepening your trust in God.

Diana shares the story behind her For the Soul Prayer Journal, born out of one of her hardest and loneliest seasons, and how journaling became the anchor that kept her consistent in prayer and rooted in scripture. We also talk about what it actually looks like to take that first step of faith when you're not yet sure you're hearing God clearly, and why biblical encouragement from a community of believers matters more than we often realize.

If scripture feels distant right now or your faith feels like it's running on empty, this episode will remind you that God is closer than you think and his voice is closer than you realize. Remember that journal prompts for each episode can be found in our weekly newsletter! laurentpaperco.com/newsletter

What does it actually look like to build a consistent, daily rhythm with God, and how do those rhythms help you discern his voice more clearly? In this episode, I sit down with Diana Marie, host of the Circle Time for the Soul podcast, to talk about holy habits: what they are, how Jesus modeled them for us, and how simple practices like being in the Word, journaling, and community can anchor your faith in every season.

Whether you're just starting out in your faith journey or looking to go deeper in your biblical encouragement, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Diana shares how consistency doesn't mean perfection, how to find a rhythm that fits your season, and how immersing yourself in scripture is the foundation for everything else, including learning to trust what you hear from God.

This one is for you if you've been craving more stillness and a deeper connection with God in your everyday life.

This week on Hearing God Daily, we're talking about the vulnerability of wanting a deeper faith. We're looking at the temptation to use Scripture more like a self-help book than a doorway to Jesus. We're exploring what it looks like to move from faith as a set of principles to faith as a real relationship through honest biblical encouragement from John 5 and a conversation about the discernment objections that keep us at a safe distance from God. If you're ready to stop managing God from arm's length and start trusting Him with your actual heart, this one is for you. Journal prompts are in the newsletter.

The news is heavy. War, polarization, outrage. How do you hold onto faith when the world feels like it's coming apart? In this final episode of the Quiet Series, we close with a reading from Sarah Clarkson's Reclaiming Quiet and explore what it looks like to trust in God in the middle of the apocalypse.

This episode is full of biblical encouragement for the woman who is tired of the noise: tired of the outrage cycles, the fear, the heaviness. We turn to Scripture to ask: does the Christian story have anything real to say about chaos? And the answer is a resounding yes.
