ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Today on the show, we’re talking about how to breathe new life into your quiet time routine.

Friends, I know I’m not telling you anything new when I say that this year has been CRAZY. I’m pretty sure that my daily time with God is the only thing that’s kept me sane through it all.

But here’s the thing — even though it’s so needed and so beneficial — creating a habit of spending time with God each day isn’t easy. And even once we do get into a habit, sometimes once it’s been a habit for awhile, our time with God can grow a little bit stale.

It makes sense — anything grows stale if we do the same thing every single day, right? But that’s why I’m so excited about this episode.

Today I’m talking with my friends Marri and Lindsay — the hosts of an incredible podcast called The Pause Podcast.

And today they’re going to teach us some really practical and easy ways of breathing new life into our quiet times.

But here’s the thing, even though the things they’re going to share with us are practical, and easy to implement, they make the biggest difference.

I know you guys are going to love this conversation (and the tools they have to share!) as much as I do.

Their wisdom, and these tools, have helped me connect with God in new and deeper ways, which is exactly what I’ve needed this year.

I cannot wait for you to hear from them!

Our guests, Marri and Lindsay from The Pause Podcast, are going to teach us how to refresh our quiet times with God and teach us the benefits of mindfulness (and what mindfulness even is).
