The number one question I get asked is: "How do I hear from God?" And honestly, today's conversation with Brandie Barclay is exactly that.
No script.
No outline.
No perfectly planned interview.
We prayed, hit record, and had one of the most honest conversations about hearing God, overwhelm, identity, distraction, spiritual warfare, and walking with the Holy Spirit that I've had in a long time.
And honestly?
This episode feels less like a podcast and more like sitting down with two sisters in Christ trying to walk closely with God in a noisy, overwhelming world.
In this episode, Brandie and I talk about:
- hearing God and learning to recognize His voice
- spiritual overwhelm and emotional exhaustion
- identity in Christ
- perfectionism and people pleasing
- religion versus real relationship with God
- why so many women feel spiritually drained right now
- the power of the Holy Spirit in everyday life
- learning to slow down and walk with God daily
- spiritual warfare and distraction
- obedience, faith, and trusting God in hard seasons
One of my favorite parts of this conversation was when we talked about how so many women are striving for some huge spiritual experience while completely overlooking the simple daily relationship God is inviting them into.
Open your Bible.
Spend time with Him.
Walk with Him daily.
That is where peace starts.
Brandie also shares powerful parts of her own story, including leaving her longtime career, learning how to fully trust God, writing her book through intense spiritual warfare, and discovering what it really means to live empowered by the Holy Spirit.
And honestly, one of the biggest reminders throughout this episode is this:
God never asked us to carry life without Him.
