Hey, sis! Are you always distracted from spending time listening to God’s voice? Social media got a hold on you? Tired of mind-numbing doom scroll sessions?
In this podcast, you will find practical strategies for getting off your phone, powerful insights into hearing God’s voice, quick and easy tips for building your discernment muscles, and practical advice for studying the Bible on your own. My mission is to help young adult women grow in hearing God’s voice through rooting out distractions, spending time in the Word, and growing in prayer. If you're ready to put down the reels and say “yes” to growing a personal relationship with God, you’re in the right place!
Hey, I’m Chloe. A Bible lover, ex Netflix and social media addict, and your biggest cheerleader when it comes to finding phone freedom and hearing the Holy Spirit. I spent much of my 20s numbing with social media and TV shows only to feel more and more insecure. I began to question my calling and purpose and to feel distant from God. I desperately wanted to hear His voice for myself, but I didn’t know how to get there. I finally realized, through an incredible slap-you-up-side-the-head sermon and some God-breathed revelation, that it is absolutely possible to break free from screens and to build sharp discernment of God’s voice. A few simple life habits and key insights took me from being confused on what I was hearing and feeling distracted from listening, to feeling free from my phone’s hold and knowing confidently that I could hear the Holy Spirit. And, I am excited to share these things with you!
If you’re ready to finally be free from social media’s hold and to grow in hearing the Holy Spirit, with methods that are tangible, and not just fluffy, inspirational words, and with insight that you can implement into your life today — this podcast is for you. Let’s tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit.

Transcribe →69 | Feeling the Pressure to Make the Perfect Decision? This Biblical Encouragement is for You
2w ago00:21:01Tap to summarizeWhen trying to hear the Holy Spirit, we can so often get in the weeds of trying to do what is "best". "What is the wisest, most responsible choice I can make in this situation?" We can put so much pressure on ourselves to choose what is absolutely perfect, and this can be a major distraction from hearing God's voice. And, not just something that makes us distracted, but it can also cause so much spiritual confusion. In today's episode, I am sharing a testimony from my husband and my own recent adventure of following the leading of the Holy Spirit, where we saw the Lord answer a prayer in minutes! We will also dig into Scripture and spend some time talking about a different perspective, a different way to pray that I think will bring you a lot of Biblical encouragement. I pray that this bolsters your faith, encourages you in your daily prayer life, and helps you break free from confusion so that you can grow more in the prophetic and in hearing the voice of God. So, let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit!

Apr 3000:19:41Tap to summarizeHearing different things at different times is the just the pits. Can we all agree on that?! Between the confusion, the feeling of pressure closing in, and maybe even worse than both of those things... the feeling that God is distant. It's just not not not fun. So, let's talk about it. Today, we are in Part 3 of our series on What to Do When You Hear One Thing and Then the Other. This is a very common discernment conundrum I hear young adults often asking about. And, for good reason! I've recently been wrestling this out myself in a particular situation, and it is tough!

My prayer is that today's prophetic nugget will also bolster your faith and trust in God and will give you something to take into your daily prayer life that will help you wrestle through discerning what you're hearing. So, let's go deeper in hearing God's voice! Join me as we tune out culture and the world, and instead, tune into the Holy Spirit.
