Meditation: You Hear God Better Than You Think - Slowing Down to Tune In

Podcast Summary

Hey Dreamer,

Let’s take a moment.

A breath.

A pause.

Because if you’ve been feeling like you can’t quite hear God lately—if your prayers feel like they’re hitting a wall, or if life has just gotten so noisy that everything feels like static—I want you to know something:

You hear God better than you think.

In today’s episode, we unpack the sacred truth found in John 10:27, where Jesus gently reminds us that His sheep hear His voice. He doesn’t say they strive or guess or perform. He says they listen. Because they are His. Because the connection is rooted in relationship, not perfection.

If your first response to stillness is discomfort, I get it.

We’ve been wired to perform, to push, to prove.

But what if stillness isn’t laziness?

What if it’s the spiritual posture that opens the door to presence?

Here’s what we explore together,

Why presence is the new productivity—especially in a world addicted to hurry and noise

How your nervous system affects your ability to perceive spiritual truth

What neuroscience is now saying about prayer, stillness, and how your brain and spirit connect

The real reason distraction keeps us from hearing—and how to create sacred space that welcomes clarity

A gentle coaching truth: most of us aren’t spiritually broken—we’re just overstimulated and under-aligned

I also walk you through a practice I call The Sacred Five Sensory Reset—a grounded, gentle way to bring your body and spirit into alignment so you can begin to notice the nearness of God right where you are. Not in the mountains. Not in the retreat. Right there—on your lunch break, in your car, or while you’re making breakfast.

We close with powerful affirmations, reflection questions, and a reminder that God’s whisper isn’t faint because He’s distant—it’s quiet because He’s close.

Here’s your soul-altering mindset shift for the day:

“God is not hiding. My nervous system and my habits just need space to receive.”

You’re not waiting on God to speak.

You’re being invited to slow down enough to hear what He’s already saying.

So let’s make space—internally and externally.

Let’s move forward with gentleness, not pressure.

Let’s choose stillness, not as a one-time escape, but as a rhythm that helps us tune in to what matters most.

You don’t have to second-guess anymore.

The whisper is real. And it’s calling you back to peace.

Let’s connect. Not just in the comments, not just with a double tap. I want to know what’s been on your heart. Let’s talk, dream out loud, pray if you need it, laugh if you feel like it, just real space for real conversation.
