Have you ever loved Jesus… but still felt distracted, spiritually dry, or stuck in “doing mode”?

Maybe your mornings feel rushed. Your mind feels noisy. Your phone gets your attention before God does. And before you know it… the day has started, your soul feels disconnected, and shame quietly creeps in.

In this deeply personal episode, Stephanie shares how God met her after one of the hardest seasons of her life—and how slowing down, abiding, and learning to live a with-God life began forming her from the inside out.

This isn’t about creating the perfect quiet time.

It’s about presence.

It’s about union.

And it’s about what happens when we stop striving… and start abiding.

• Why so many believers love Jesus… but still struggle to slow down
• How false-self can resist stillness, surrender, and being seen
• What Stephanie’s “porch season” with God actually looked like
• How Scripture, prayer, journaling, and intentional presence deepened her walk with Jesus
• The shift from living like a Christian… to living like His daughter
• Why union with God doesn’t just comfort you… it forms you
• Simple questions to help you begin your own “with-God life”

• 2 Corinthians 3:18 — Beholding Him and being transformed
• John 15:4–5 — Abide in Me
• Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know
• Galatians 4:6–7 — Daughtership and identity in Christ
