Awaken To God’s Presence Episodes

Awaken to God’s Presence is a collection of guided spiritual practices created in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic — a time when stillness, connection, and peace felt more essential than ever. Designed to help you encounter the Divine wherever you are and however you're feeling, each episode offers a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and be present.

The original series (episodes A1 through A10) offers a foundation of simple, accessible practices for grounding your spirit. Additional episodes are added periodically, offering new ways to center yourself in God’s loving presence.

Take fifteen minutes to push pause on the noise of life — and receive the quiet gift of peace… even in the midst of the storm.
