What is a "Respite"?

A respite is a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. And let’s be real—life can be a lot. There are days when your soul feels heavy, your mind is tired, and your heart is in desperate need of peace. That’s where these Soul Respites come in.

This is your sacred pause.

A gentle invitation to slow down.

A moment to breathe in God’s presence and exhale the weight of the world.

Whether you’re driving, drifting off to sleep, or simply craving a moment of stillness, let these monthly Soul Respites be your invitation into rest and renewal. God’s Word is alive, active, and deeply healing. When it is spoken over your weary soul, it has the power to restore what life has worn down.

Does your soul need rest?

Let these words wash over you. Let them be your safe place to recover, to be restored, and to be renewed.

Why Good Friday?

There is no better day to launch this on the podcast than Good Friday—a day we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who laid down His life so that we could walk in freedom, wholeness, and eternal life.

He died so we could live—truly live. Rest for your soul is not just available... it was purchased by His love.

Want to Know Jesus for Yourself?

If something stirred in your spirit while listening and you want to know this peace personally, here’s how you can accept Jesus as your Savior:

1. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for your sins and rose again.
2. Confess your need for Him. Turn from all you've been hoping in outside of Jesus and put your complete faith in Him to save you and bring your soul to life. You don’t have to have it all together—He meets you exactly where you are.
3. Pray something simple like this:

Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died on the cross and rose again so I could be forgiven and have new life. I invite You into my heart today. Be my Savior, my Lord, and my peace. I give You my life and choose to follow You. Amen.

💛 I pray these Soul Respites bring peace, renewal, and restoration to your soul. You were never meant to carry it all, beloved one. Let this be your gentle reminder to come away and rest.

In this heart-stirring conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Ashley Hawk to explore the transformation that happens in the dark places of our lives. Ashley vulnerably shares about a season marked by overwhelm, spiritual depletion, and her fumbling around in the dark—and how it became the turning point that birthed a deeper faith, vision, and voice within her.

Together, we reflect on the power of the Holy Spirit, what it means to hear God’s voice in the dark, and how dependence becomes the doorway to destiny. This episode is for the person navigating chaos, craving clarity, and wondering if light could ever shine again. Spoiler: it can—and it will.

Expect real talk, raw moments, and Holy Spirit truth bombs that will leave you feeling seen, held, and empowered.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Ashley’s story of spiritual awakening during a season of darkness
• How she discovered her own faith voice and built unshakable confidence
• What it means to walk with the Holy Spirit daily—even when life feels like a blindfolded maze
• The difference between surviving and surrendering

Have you ever felt overlooked? Like you’ve been faithful, holding onto God’s promises, but nothing seems to be shifting? In today’s episode, we dive into Genesis 41:9-14, where Joseph—once forgotten in prison—is suddenly remembered at the right time. His story reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes and that when He moves, things happen quickly.

If you’ve ever struggled with waiting, silence, or the feeling of being forgotten, this episode is for you.

• You feel overlooked and forgotten. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough, this episode will remind you that God’s delay is not His denial.
• You’re struggling with doubt in the waiting. When nothing seems to be moving, it’s easy to wonder if God has changed His mind—but He is always working behind the scenes.
• You need encouragement to keep going. The waiting season is not wasted. God is preparing you for what’s next, refining your heart, and setting things in motion.
• You’re ready to release the burden of trying to make things happen. Like Joseph, we must learn to shift from self-reliance to trust: "I can't… but God can. And because He can, I will."
• You want to walk in confidence, even when you don’t see progress. You don’t have to fight for recognition—when it’s time, God will open the doors quickly.

💡 Beloved one, you are not forgotten. You are being positioned. Keep walking.
