Send us a text

Have you ever felt like life is too noisy to hear God’s voice? Have you wondered what you would feel if you slowed down, embraced the quiet, and deepened your relationship with God?  In today’s episode, Dr. Elaina Barron and Angie Elkins are diving into the contemplative life—what it means to truly be still and know that He is God. We'll explore practices like Lectio Divina, sharing resources such as John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way and the app Lectio 365 to help us embrace stillness and intentionality in our spiritual walk. Angie and Elaina delve into the concept of Holy Leisure—creating sacred moments to sit with God and receive His love. You'll hear personal stories and reflections of Elaina and Angie's own journey of resistance to this type of prayer and the freedom found in releasing control.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, seek God’s presence, and experience the sanctifying beauty of rest in Him. Together, let's uncover practical ways to create Holy Leisure in our lives, let go of control, and experience the transformative power of simply being in His presence. Let’s take this journey of sanctification, one still moment at a time.
