I was so honored to be a guest on the God Hears Her podcast to talk about Guilt-Free Quiet Times. I can’t say enough great things about the wonderful women who host the show and the army of workers behind the scenes. They made me feel welcome and blessed, and the whole experience was such a joy. I think you’ll enjoy our coversation, and I know you’ll enjoy their backlog of amazing episodes that will continue to encourage you as you grow in Christ!

Show Summary: What comes to mind when you think of spending time with the Lord? Do you picture your favorite comfy chair with your Bible and a steaming mug of coffee? Or do you see yourself frantically running around the house apologizing to God while you chase a toddler who has interrupted your quiet time. . . .again. Emily E. Ryan wants to help women reimagine their quiet time with the Lord by lifting up the guilt we sometimes feel. The stigma of ‘quiet time’ doesn’t have to be silent time spent in your house with the Lord. Join hosts, Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins, as they learn how to have guilt-free quiet time during this God Hears Her conversation.
