Have you ever felt spiritually stuck, distant from God, or unsure whether what you're hearing is actually his voice? In this second part of my conversation with Diana Marie of Circle Time for the Soul, we get into the heart of discernment and faith journaling, and how putting pen to paper can be one of the most powerful tools for deepening your trust in God.

Diana shares the story behind her For the Soul Prayer Journal, born out of one of her hardest and loneliest seasons, and how journaling became the anchor that kept her consistent in prayer and rooted in scripture. We also talk about what it actually looks like to take that first step of faith when you're not yet sure you're hearing God clearly, and why biblical encouragement from a community of believers matters more than we often realize.

If scripture feels distant right now or your faith feels like it's running on empty, this episode will remind you that God is closer than you think and his voice is closer than you realize. Remember that journal prompts for each episode can be found in our weekly newsletter! laurentpaperco.com/newsletter

What does it actually look like to build a consistent, daily rhythm with God, and how do those rhythms help you discern his voice more clearly? In this episode, I sit down with Diana Marie, host of the Circle Time for the Soul podcast, to talk about holy habits: what they are, how Jesus modeled them for us, and how simple practices like being in the Word, journaling, and community can anchor your faith in every season.

Whether you're just starting out in your faith journey or looking to go deeper in your biblical encouragement, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Diana shares how consistency doesn't mean perfection, how to find a rhythm that fits your season, and how immersing yourself in scripture is the foundation for everything else, including learning to trust what you hear from God.

This one is for you if you've been craving more stillness and a deeper connection with God in your everyday life.

This week on Hearing God Daily, we're talking about the vulnerability of wanting a deeper faith. We're looking at the temptation to use Scripture more like a self-help book than a doorway to Jesus. We're exploring what it looks like to move from faith as a set of principles to faith as a real relationship through honest biblical encouragement from John 5 and a conversation about the discernment objections that keep us at a safe distance from God. If you're ready to stop managing God from arm's length and start trusting Him with your actual heart, this one is for you. Journal prompts are in the newsletter.

The news is heavy. War, polarization, outrage. How do you hold onto faith when the world feels like it's coming apart? In this final episode of the Quiet Series, we close with a reading from Sarah Clarkson's Reclaiming Quiet and explore what it looks like to trust in God in the middle of the apocalypse.

This episode is full of biblical encouragement for the woman who is tired of the noise: tired of the outrage cycles, the fear, the heaviness. We turn to Scripture to ask: does the Christian story have anything real to say about chaos? And the answer is a resounding yes.

Do you feel overwhelmed by everything on your plate, like no matter how hard you try, the things that matter most keep getting pushed to later?

In part 2 of my conversation with Alyssa Figgins of Redeem Her Time, we get practical. Alyssa introduces her anchor zone method: a framework rooted in faith and discernment that helps you structure your day around what God is actually calling you to, instead of reacting to whatever comes at you first.

She also shares a powerful illustration using oranges and Skittles that will completely shift how you think about capacity. Spoiler: you have more of it than you think.

In this episode:

• What anchor zones are and how to build them into your day
• Why order determines capacity (the oranges and Skittles illustration)
• How discernment and trust in God play a role in deciding what your "oranges" are this season
• Biblical encouragement for women who feel like there is never enough time
• The connection between intentional structure, faith, and actually hearing God's voice
• Journal prompts and Scripture to help you reflect on how you're stewarding your time (included in our weekly newsletter! laurentpaperco.com/newsletter)

This is part 2 of 2! If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, start there for the heart shifts and Scripture foundation that set up everything in this episode.

Do you find yourself constantly saying "I just don't have time"? What if that feeling wasn't a calendar problem, but a heart problem rooted in faith?

In this episode, I'm joined by Lissa Figgins, a scaling strategist and founder of Redeem Her Time, who helps busy Christian women grow their results by multiplying the 24 hours God has given them. Lissa shares the powerful story of how a medical diagnosis became a turning point with God, and walks us through three heart shifts grounded in Scripture that will completely change how you approach your time and your relationship with Him.

This conversation is rich with Biblical encouragement for anyone who has ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or too busy to slow down and trust in God. We dig into what the parable of the talents reveals about stewardship, how discernment begins with making space to listen, and why the enemy's number one tactic is keeping you too busy to hear God's voice.

Journal prompts included in this episode to help you reflect and respond.

This is part 1 of 2! Tune in next week for Lissa's practical anchor zone framework.

Everyone is talking about nervous system regulation right now, and there's real wisdom in it. But what happens when biology becomes the only lens we use to understand our inner life? In this episode we're bringing faith and Scripture into the conversation, because discernment isn't just about calming your body down. It's about learning to trust God with what's underneath.

We'll talk about what nervous system insights get right, where they fall short of a biblical view of the whole person, and how practices like journaling and quiet can help you sift through the internal noise that's keeping you from hearing God's voice clearly. We'll look at what Scripture says about renewing your mind, taking every thought captive, and why biblical encouragement for the overwhelmed soul goes deeper than regulation.

If you want journal prompts to help you practice this kind of discernment and trust in God, you can get them sent straight to your inbox when you sign up for the newsletter at laurentpaperco.com/newsletter.
