Whatever it takes to help us all learn to sit quietly in the presence of God and our own soul. We’re going to spend some time each episode engaging in scripture listening, paying attention to how our soul responds, noticing if God might be extending an invitation in it, and what we want to do about that. Our goal is to gently lean into the spiritual practice of intentional quiet. If you're looking for a podcast that helps you gently explore spiritual practices, provides a simple format for spending quiet time with God, and honors genuine purpose in your life, settle in to Quiet on Purpose!
Once in a while, I happen upon a Bible verse that leaps off the page at me, filling me with hope or with inspiration! The verse in this episode is one of those. It's not that I'd never read or heard it before, but when I came upon it recently, I knew it was exactly what I needed to hear for this season of my life. It was inspiring! But, I also quickly realized I cannot sustain the inspiration to carry this out on my own. I will need help! I'm so grateful that God does not call us to anything that He will not also provide the grace for us to carry out. I hope today's episode fills you not only with inspiration to do something difficult, but with the hope to know that He will be with you, giving grace all along the way. Listen in!
Questions from today's episode: Is there one relationship, or perhaps two, in which I sense God inviting me to practice complete humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with the other in love? What might that look like on a daily basis? Am I aware of my utter dependence on Him to carry that out? And perhaps even the ways I’ve made a mess of it on my own? Remembering His posture of love and humility toward me, what is my prayer in response?

Episode 120 - Home
Those of us who grew up in church culture in the 70s and 80s might remember best the focus on "the rapture." It seemed like all the popular Christian films of the day, and many songs too, were calling us to "be ready." Understandably, as a young girl, I was far too curious about how my life would play out to be excited for Jesus to return! In this episode, more than reminiscing about my childhood, I hope to help us all contemplate that God is our portion and delight both here and in our future home.

Questions from today's episode: Am I holding onto dreams or pursuits for this life that I think will make me feel complete? Does the thought of making Lord God my true home fill me with delight and refreshment? Is the Lord whispering an invitation to my heart today? How might I respond?

Episode 119 - Pour
In this episode, we will wrap up our series in Psalm 62. Much like making coffee with my French press, which involves careful pressing and patient pouring, time spent with Jesus calls for a "pressing" in and a "pouring" out of all that is in our hearts, and then entrusting it into his care. When we are patient and careful to make this our regular practice, we find that God is our refuge!

Questions from today's episode: Do I have a time in my routine where I regularly sit in the presence of the Lord? If so, do I “show up” for this time with authenticity and vulnerability, pouring out my heart to the Lord? Is there something I want to say to God right now, in the quiet of these moments?
