***Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast***
Tired of the self-doubt, confusion, and mental spiraling, wondering if you’re hearing God? Wish you could be in constant communion with the Lord where you talk about everything? Longing for wisdom in decision-making and to understand God's will?
I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you grow your confidence in discerning God’s voice, build assurance that your Creator loves you, and give you tools to live in constant communion with the Holy Spirit.
Hey, I’m Chloe. A sister, wife, and Jesus lover. I spent much of my 20s, pulling out my Bible, closing my eyes, and pointing at random verses, hoping God would speak. I longed to be led by the Holy Spirit, but when I prayed, I felt like God didn’t like me or care, and I left my prayer time feeling even more distant. Eventually, I realized it is possible to hear and discern God’s voice – no blind pointing required! A few simple habits and insights helped me go from confused and afraid of disappointing God to confident in His love and talking to Him about everything. And I can’t wait to share them with you!
If you’re ready to let go of independence and lean fully on the Holy Spirit for a bold, full, and free life—with practical tools, not just fluffy words, and real insight you can use today—this podcast is for you. Let’s get practical.

Waiting upon the Lord, sitting in His Presence, listening for the Holy Spirit... These things are so beautiful and life-giving, but can be practically challenging. Sitting quietly can feel awkward, intimidating, maybe a little frustrating... So let's get a framework in place to set the table!
In today's episode, I share practical tips for building out your silent time with the Lord from before the time even begins, to your physical space, and to what you can actually do during that time. If you want to grow in tolerance of silence and enjoy God's Presence more, let's get practical.

Ever feel your prayers aren't working? Like you are talking to the air? I think if we are honest, we have all felt this way before when what we ask God doesn't seem to be coming to fruition in our lives.
In today's episode, I share three Bible verses to bring encouragement to you as you continue to seek the Lord in daily prayer. This episode is really sweet to me, because I asked the Holy Spirit for three Scriptures, and He gave me some unconventional verses. It was really moving to hear His thoughts on prayer and to ask Him what He wanted us to know.

Ever wonder is this the Holy Spirit or am trying to people please? Or you feel like God is asking you to do something, but the overwhelming feeling accompanying what you're hearing is shame/guilt?
It's been quite a journey for me discerning what is legalism or me trying to be a "good Christian" vs what the Holy Spirit is actually asking me to spend my time on. I haven't quite arrived yet in terms of getting it right every single time, but I've come a long way.
In today's episode, you'll jump into a clip of an un-aired episode that my husband Jason and I did together. You'll hear a story where I wasn't sure if it was God or not, and I actually put myself into a dangerous situation because of feeling like I needed to be a "good Christian". As always, we've got practical takeaways for you as well, so you can grow in deeper relationship with God.
