This reflective minisode invites you to slow down, quiet your mind, and rediscover God in the stillness. Inspired by a heartfelt conversation with guest Anita Keagy, Ana shares how Anita’s story of adoption beautifully mirrors God’s love and desire to adopt us as His own children. I open up about my own struggles to maintain a healthy relationship with God amid the noise of motherhood, marriage, and daily responsibilities — and how silence has become the missing key to connection.

Anita Keagy’s powerful journey through teenage pregnancy and her difficult decision to choose adoption became a divine metaphor for God’s desire to be known and sought by His children — and it will inspire you to seek Him first in your own life.

Heavy headlines. Quick offense. Thin patience. This is our world today!  I reflect on a joyful conversation with Pastor Michael Dennis—a local pastor whose humor invites us to breathe, connect, and remember that joy can be a holy experience, not as escapism, but as a grounded practice that softens hearts and strengthens community.

Doubt can feel like a locked door—especially when you want to help but don’t know what to say. Today, I'm honest about missed chances, the fear of “not knowing enough,” and the surprising power of small, ordinary acts to carry hope farther than perfect words ever could. With Constance Hastings’ provocative book, The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before Walking Away, as a spark, I explore how to walk with people who are questioning without turning every moment into a debate.
