In this reflective and heart-centred conversation, I sit down with spiritual director
to explore how we can deepen our intimacy with God, especially amidst the busyness, challenges, and suffering of life.Hollie shares her journey as a mother and spiritual director, offering wisdom on balancing doing for God with simply being with Him. We talk about how to recognise when we’re in performance mode, how to cultivate joy even in suffering, and the importance of being honest with God and ourselves. This conversation is full of practical insights, encouragement, and gentle reminders that God’s presence is always near.
We talk about:
✨ How spiritual direction helps us walk alongside God and others
✨ The balance between doing for God and being with Him
✨ Recognising warning signs of performance mode and burnout
✨ Practical steps to abide in God through prayer and mindfulness
✨ Experiencing joy even amidst suffering
✨ The power of honesty in our struggles
✨ How therapy and spiritual direction support personal and spiritual growth
When was the last time you simply ‘were’ with God instead of doing for Him?
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, longing for a deeper connection with God, or navigating difficult seasons, this episode will leave you encouraged, reflective, and inspired to abide more fully in His presence.
