A Gentle Reminder: God Is Still Speaking to You

 This episode isn’t a teaching, it’s a reminder. 

If you’ve been questioning whether God still speaks or wondering where He is in this season, this episode is for you. In today’s quiet reflection, we talk about how God speaks in the small, often overlooked moments—through waking up each morning, the sound of birds outside, the steady rise of the sun, our dreams, and the gentle nudges throughout the day. 

This episode also shares the heart behind the children’s book Dear God, Will You Be My Friend?—a reminder that God isn’t distant, complicated, or hard to reach. He’s close. He listens. He wants relationship. 

If you’re looking for encouragement, peace, and reassurance of God’s love and presence, press play and take a moment to slow down and listen. 

God is still speaking—and He’s speaking to you.

A Breath And A Reminder

Hey friend. Alright, so today we're just going to breathe a bit because I don't need you to pick up a pen, a pencil, I don't need you to take any notes. I don't need you to get any paper out. This episode isn't a lesson, it's a reminder. Because somewhere along the way, many of us, with my hand raised as well, started believing that if God wasn't doing something big, loud or life-altering, then maybe, just maybe he wasn't speaking at all. And that just isn't true. So this morning before my feet even touched the floor, there was no big revelation, just a quiet awareness that God is here. And sometimes we're so focused on the big prayers, the big goals, the big breakthroughs that we miss the quiet ways God is showing up right in front of us. So God speaks when he wakes us up in the morning, before your phone lights up, before the world starts asking anything of you. See, God speaks through the birds chirping outside, through the sun rising again, faithful, steady, right on time. See, God speaks in your dreams, in the moments where something stirs your spirit and you wake up not quite sure why, but you know something was happening. See, God speaks throughout the day, in a text that comes at just the right moment, in a song that meets you exactly where you are, in a thought that feels calm instead of chaotic. And sometimes God speaks by simply sustaining you, by holding you together on days that you didn't think you had the strength to keep going. See, this is exactly the space that led me to write my children's book, Dear God, Will You Be My Friend? And although it's for children, it was a reminder that I needed. And maybe you do too. That God isn't distant, he isn't far away, he isn't waiting for us to have the right words, that he is just that close. As close as your breath is to you, that is how close he is. See, he listens, he responds, he wants a relationship, not perfection. And so that book for me was written for children, yes, but it was also for the child in all of us who just needs to be reminded that God is near and that he hears us and that we can talk to him just as we are. It doesn't have to be perfect, you don't have to have the right words, you don't have to be eloquent in speech. Just as you are. And so if you've been questioning, if you've been wondering where God is, if you've been waiting for a sign, let this be your reminder that God is still speaking. See, He hasn't stopped, He hasn't turned away, He hasn't forgotten. He's just speaking in ways that requires you, us, to slow down, to listen, to notice. So before this episode ends, I just want to invite you to notice one small thing today. Something steady, something gentle, something that reminds you that you're not alone. Because God is there too. And he loves you deeply, personally, and intentionally. So this week, today, may you notice God in the small moments, may his presence feel close, not complicated. May you remember that you are seen, hailed, and deeply loved because God is still speaking, and he is still speaking to you.
