Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster March 15, 2026 Duration: 9:17
Hello, Beautiful! Four weeks in — and today, we slow down together. If you've been gently working through this Lenten season — facing the valley, picking up your tools, building your confidence — then this episode is your invitation for you to take a deep breath and find some calm. Because confidence isn't just built through doing. Sometimes the most powerful growth happens in the stillness. Inspired by Psalm 46:10, today we explore Christian Mindfulness Meditation — not emptying your mind, but filling it with Him. We'll unpack what it truly means to "be still and know," and I'll walk you through a simple, doable practice to help you create space to actually hear God's voice this week. In today's episode, you'll discover: 👣 Why stillness is an act of surrender  👣 A simple 5-minute meditation practice  👣 A reflective question to journal on this week 📖 Grab your tea, a cozy blanket, and your Affirmation Journal from my Etsy boutique — use code PODCAST15 for 15% off any workbook! https://riselovelive.com/Affirmation%20Guide 🌟 Know someone who needs permission to slow down?
