Hungry for a peace filled heart and stronger walk with Jesus? Welcome to the podcast where you will find practical guidance to building a daily rhythm with God that will actually fit your real life.

We will uncover simple, sustainable rhythms that make space for God’s voice through Scripture meditation, gentle spiritual disciplines, and the supportive use of natural aromas. 

If you haven’t already, accepted Jesus into your heart, if you're at that crossroad, wondering if it’s time to make this beautiful commitment, I encourage you to close your eyes, speak to Him, and take that leap of faith.

Hey there, friend. Are you ready to dive deeper into your spiritual walk and discover enriching ways to connect with God daily? I'm Paula Behrens, an ordained pastor, certified Aroma Freedom Technique Practitioner, podcast host, and fellow traveler on this faith journey with you. Welcome to a space crafted especially for Christian women yearning for spiritual growth, encouragement, and a stronger walk with Jesus.

Paula Behrens: 0:23

Have you ever found yourself craving more from your quiet time, struggling to hear God's voice amid the daily chaos? Well, you're not alone. Whether you're new to this journey or have been walking this path for years, there's always room for renewal and deeper connection with Him. That's where our podcast comes in, a sanctuary of sorts, where you can find soul-nourishing conversations, scripture exploration, and supportive community. In my personal faith walk, I've wrestled with the challenge of carving out consistent time for God. Some days the line blurred between hearing His voice and my own thoughts echoing back at me. But through life's ups and downs, I've discovered an amazing truth. Spiritual disciplines paired with the God-given gift of natural aromas, or what we call essential oils today, can create a profound space for clarity and connection. They help us slow down and tune in to God's quiet whispers.

Paula Behrens: 1:20

Let's talk about what this podcast has to offer. Each week, we delve into meaningful scripture, highlighting memory verses enriched with Greek word studies. If your spirit needs refreshing, you can start with daily devotionals that accompany your morning prayer, and you'll find that many of our episodes are infused with essential oil tips to enhance your focus so you can hear God's voice more clearly as you seek to clarify your unique calling. Have you been longing for genuine friends who support your faith journey? A community of believers with wisdom from their own faith walk? Assurance that God's divine plan for your life is intentionally unfolding? If you nodded in agreement, this is your go-to podcast. We've built a supportive community where you can grow alongside seasoned believers. So pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, settle in, and join us as we explore these keys to faith together.

Paula Behrens: 2:19

You don't need fancy outfits. Just show up with an open heart and readiness to learn, grow, and let go of the distractions that cloud your spiritual vision. Joining us means partaking in shared wisdom and support where each voice matters, and we all gain insight from shared experiences and divine guidance. Remember Ephesians 3:20-21, which says, Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than we can ask or imagine, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Wow! The knowledge that God is working within us far beyond our imagination anchors us in faith and fills us with hope.

Paula Behrens: 3:10

As we close today, let's take a moment to pray together. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this time we've shared, where we've felt the gentle promptings of your Holy Spirit. In the midst of our busy schedules and distractions that pull us away, remind us that you are always near, ready to guide us with your quiet whispers. Help us to carve out those small sacred moments for you each day, whether it's in the early morning quiet or amid the afternoon hustle. Give us the strength to say no when we need to, to silence the racing thoughts that scatter our focus and reconnect with a childlike faith. Surround us with your peace, fill our spirits when we feel dry, and remind us that you are working within us, accomplishing far more than we can imagine. Help us to show up consistently, not out of obligation, but out of hunger for your Word. It is in Jesus' precious and holy name that we ask these things. Amen.

Paula Behrens: 4:15
