The Word and Prayer Room
Many believers want more of God but aren't always sure how to move beyond routine faith into a deeper relationship with Him. The Word & Prayer Room is a growing library of biblical teaching, prayer and discipleship resources designed to help you deepen your relationship with God and grow in spiritual maturity.
Through Scripture-based teaching, practical faith insights and thoughtful reflection, each study is designed to help you understand God's Word, strengthen your faith and apply biblical principles to everyday life. Whether you are exploring a complete study series or listening to a single episode, you will find encouragement, challenge and practical tools to support your spiritual journey. From understanding God's direction and purpose to developing greater confidence in your walk with Him, these teachings are created to help you move beyond information into transformation.
This is more than a podcast. It is an on-demand discipleship resource, providing accessible audio Bible studies that you can listen to at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits you.
As you commute, walk, pray, study or simply take time to reflect, our prayer is that each episode draws you closer to God and equips you to live out His Word with greater faith, wisdom and confidence.
Seek. Discern. Obey.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the conversation we're avoiding isn't with other people, but with ourselves?
Here's something to think about. Why do we sometimes find it hardest to talk about the very things that affect us most? Sometimes the hardest truths to face are the ones we carry within ourselves.
Watch out for the new Faith Shame series, coming soon to The Word and Prayer Room Podcast.
We're Calling It Out... Faith Shame.
Because healing begins where honesty becomes safe to share.
Thank you for joining me in the Word & Prayer Room. If this study has encouraged you, please follow the podcast and share it with someone who may be seeking God's direction. Remember, God is not distant or silent. He is able to make His will known to those who sincerely seek Him. Until next time, keep listening for His voice, keep trusting His word, and keep walking by faith.
So, what if the conversations we're avoiding isn't with other people but with ourselves? Welcome to the Word and Prayer Room Podcast. I'm Sylvia Stevenson, and this is about we're calling it out face shame. Because healing can only begin where honesty becomes safe to share. Now, this question can be difficult and uncomfortable for many people, especially those who tend to bury things rather than address them. You know, I have a lot of coaching and mentoring conversations with people from all walks of life and professions. And one of the things I've noticed over the years is that people don't always hide their struggles from others. Sometimes they hide them from themselves. Now I don't think it's intentional or because they're being dishonest, but it's because some thoughts, feelings, and questions can feel difficult to admit, even in private. You see, sometimes it's easier to keep serving, keep praying, and keep showing up than it is to stop and acknowledge what's really going on for us. Perhaps we're angry about something that's happened and don't think we should be. Perhaps we're disappointed with where life has taken us and believe we're somehow to blame. Perhaps we're carrying grief, resentment, confusion, or exhaustion that doesn't fit with the version of faith we think we're supposed to have. So instead of addressing it, we push it down, explain it away, or tell ourselves we'll deal with it later. The thing is, just because we stop talking about something doesn't mean it stops affecting us. It can still shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and more importantly, how we experience our faith. One of the questions we'll explore in this series is whether some of the battles we face are made harder because we've never given ourselves permission to acknowledge them in the first place. So perhaps the question is not whether something is wrong, perhaps the question is whether we've been willing to acknowledge it. Watch out for the new Faith Shame series coming soon to the Word and Prayer Room Podcast.
