8 Strategic Ways to Quiet My Mind and Hear God’s Voice
In Episode #60 of the UnPerfect Podcast, I’m talking about my aha moment this summer when I truly began to seek a slower, quieter life to free up my mind space to better commune with God. I’m sharing 8 practical things I’ve put into place to help quiet my mind and hear God’s voice. Listen in…

- digital bondage
- overcrowding of schedules
- the problem with filling up on good things
