2: Spiritual Practices vs Disciplines: Making Space for God in Everyday Life
Ever feel overwhelmed by where to start with spiritual practices—especially in the thick of work, family, and constant to-dos? In this episode, it's time to get real about the challenge of developing faith practices for deeper connection, and why choosing “practice” over “discipline” might be the stress relief you’ve been craving. Drawing on wisdom from scripture, spiritual writers, and her own journey, Alyssa explores how intentional habits—like daily scripture meditation, a prayer routine, and even faith-based breathwork for spiritual growth—can foster rest for the weary, and help shape your inner life. Whether you’re a busy Christian mom, longing for work-life balance (wait, is that a real thing??), or just seeking practical strategies for overcoming burnout, you’ll find encouragement and tips to help you start small, make space for God, and find real peace in imperfect seasons.
