Kristen Wambach (00:01.918)
Please help me welcome Sharon Williams to the show. Sharon is a living embodiment of spiritually brave legacy. She's an award-winning author who didn't even start writing her first book until she was 79 years old.
Sharon Williams (00:20.642)
Right.
Kristen Wambach (00:21.768)
Right in the middle of the pandemic. How about that? Because she refused to let a season of global sorrow stop her from sharing a message of hope. Now at 84 years young, she is still actively writing and releasing profound, comforting works like her latest book, God's Whisper. Be still and know. But Sharon's deep spiritual wisdom wasn't just forged in theology studies at Indianapolis university, it was cultivated in a quiet trenches of real life. She was spent over a decade leading community Bible studies, served as a dedicated Stephen minister, and spent nine beautiful years, heavy years, as a hospice volunteer holding the hands of those transitioning into eternity. She brings a literal lifetime of practicing the presence of Jesus into everything that she does and I am so deeply honored to sit at the table with her today. Sharon, welcome to the show.
Sharon Williams (01:35.606)
Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And that was a wonderful introduction. All right.
Kristen Wambach (01:41.695)
Thank you. Thank you so much. It was just so easy to introduce to introduce you. It was wonderful. Now, just to reiterate, because I just so honored that that you have kept on keeping on for Jesus. Would you remind our listeners again how many years young you are today?
Sharon Williams (02:07.895)
Well, I'm eighty-four, I'm a great grandmother, and I I just feel that we never should lose that ability to talk about Christ. After all, He's given us life and it's we are his disciples here. Any opportunity we have we should talk about that. We don't want to force it on people. We just simply want to mention it, let them decide, and perhaps we can plant the seed just a little bit and God can nurture it.
Kristen Wambach (02:44.592)
Absolutely, I agree. I agree. It is such an honor and a delight to speak with you today. Now, would you share with us some of those intimate details between you and Holy Spirit when he whispered, when he whispered to you and he called you to the new assignment right in the middle of COVID? How did he whisper to you and encourage you to write?
Sharon Williams (03:13.259)
I don't know. It's it the the I was seeing all the devastating losses, the isolation, the closing of the churches, the schools, and people were being suppressed and I just felt like they needed a boost with their faith and their hope. So when I sat down I wasn't sure how I was gonna start it, but the words seemed to flow. And when I would get in a bind of what to say or how to write, I got the words and the words just seemed to come. And so when I got the book and I started reading it, I thought, did I write that? No, that doesn't sound familiar. And it was really, really nice that it was so easily flowed. And then to give me encouragement, the book won the 2021 Fall Authors Award. He came in third place. And I thought, that's encouragement. So I I started writing again. But this time about the life of Jesus in the ministry.
Kristen Wambach (04:15.963)
What?
Sharon Williams (04:25.941)
And that was written so that people might become more interested in the Bible, in reading the Bible in a different way, looking at it in a different way. It's not dry, it's not something that happened long ago. God walks with us and is very active today.
Kristen Wambach (04:44.754)
He I totally agree agree with you. My favorite translation that I share all the time on the podcast is the mirror translation by Francis DeToy. Are you familiar with that one?
Sharon Williams (04:58.665)
No I'm not, but I I would like to be. Yes, yes.
Kristen Wambach (05:02.490)
it is it's it's it's absolutely wonderful. It's my first go to. My first call go to is called the mirror. It's absolutely the mirror, yes. The mirror and it's beautifully written.
Sharon Williams (05:11.733)
The mirror. Okay. Uh-huh. I'm gonna have to look that up now. I guess.
Kristen Wambach (05:19.172)
you will I know you will love it. It it is it is it is so embedded with this life life giving love right right right in the words. It's just he it's like he described what we feel when we're reading and communing with him. So I know you will love it.
Sharon Williams (05:40.279)
Okay. All right. Sounds good. I will look it up. And you know that that love brings you peace. It brings you such peace and there's no peace like it. So you you just have that peace that whatever happens, you know that you are loved.
Kristen Wambach (05:53.042)
Yeah.
Kristen Wambach (05:58.035)
Yes, you're loved and he's right there with you, have helping each one of us every step of the way. Amen. Yes. So would you unpack for us, you spent nine years as a hospice volunteer. How how did sitting with people in there
Sharon Williams (06:06.346)
Amen. Amen.
Sharon Williams (06:15.977)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Kristen Wambach (06:19.976)
Final moment shape your understanding of the unseen realm of how intimately close Jesus is to us in our daily lives.
Sharon Williams (06:32.437)
Well, my son passed away quite suddenly from a massive heart attack at the age of thirty one. And it was devastating, and I was holding that grief inside, and something told me, go to go volunteer with hospice, and you will get a better view of the death process. And so I did. And some of them I actually when you are on hospice, it's not a death sentence. You are on hospice for treatment. And some of the patients I knew for two or three years. And so we had a good deep conversations. And I initiated this every time I went. And their outlook and and how they process, you know, their passing soon, it was so inspiring. And I came away with so much a different feeling about death. And it helped me through that grieving process of my son. So I I got more out of it than I think I gave, but
Kristen Wambach (07:36.359)
Hmm.
Sharon Williams (07:41.481)
Again, I was there to give them hope, to let them know God was with them, and that there was nothing to fear. And it worked both ways for us. Yes.
Kristen Wambach (07:51.903)
Yes. Some of the most intimate times in the spirit have been when I've ministered to people that are on hospice and they do they hold this fear, they don't know they don't know what the next step is. And sometimes holding on to that fear actually keeps them from stepping fully into what Jesus has prepared for them.
Sharon Williams (08:19.701)
And that's only natural. But I do believe that once our body is no longer able to support the soul or spirit, that it releases it and it's as easy as we have an autonomic nervous system where we breathe our heartbeats and we don't know anything about it. And when our soul can, I mean our body can no longer support the soul spirit, it releases it just like that. We don't have to think about it, it just does it.
Kristen Wambach (08:50.110)
Mm. It does. It it it most certainly does.
Sharon Williams (08:52.629)
And it frees it from pain or disease or it's it's wonderful. It is wonderful. But the thing of it is too, if we have lived our life, we have a heavenly home to go to also.
Kristen Wambach (09:06.632)
We sure do. We sure do. Now you had mentioned earlier in an ear earlier comment that Holy Spirit was right beside you when you wrote. To the point where sometimes, you know, when you reread your your work and your writing, you you just kind of questions, well, I that doesn't sound like me.
Sharon Williams (09:27.757)
I did. Uh-huh. I just I it was like reading it almost anew. Yes.
Kristen Wambach (09:37.912)
No, that has happened to me as well. So how do you partner with Holy Spirit in your daily creative process?
Sharon Williams (09:49.538)
Well, I give a class, a Bible study class, so I depend on the Holy Spirit to give me the words as well. I was I was actually saved from harm by the Holy with the Holy Spirit's help. I was sitting in broad daylight, afternoon, sunny. I stopped at a stoplight and I was downtown Indianapolis. This doesn't happen all the time. And I could either go straight or I could turn right to go to my destination. And it was so nice, and I was enjoying the sunshine. I had my window rolled down, and there was a young man that was starting to cross the crosswalk. He didn't look threatening at all. And so I got this urge. It said turn. And I kind of ignored it at first. I thought, well, I don't know. And then it was even more urgent. It says, turn now. So I did. I turned right. And I as I turned I heard this big thud. And I thought, what was what did I hit? And about that time a big rock rolled over my windshield. And so the young man had a rock in his hand and was I think he was going to hit me with it because he was angry. I looked at him in the rear view mirror and he was angry at me because I moved. And so it saved my life because with that rock it was it was about well, you can't see, it was big.
Kristen Wambach (11:29.106)
So it was bigger than your fists together.
Sharon Williams (11:32.834)
Baker's my fist, yes. Uh-huh. And so I thought, my gosh, did I and I am so glad that I I obeyed that that prompting to move. And it was just really I've never forgotten that. And it's like, I am so happy that it told me to turn. So it's like the Holy Spirit just walks with you daily. And if you've ever had a thought
Kristen Wambach (11:54.010)
Yes, yes, yes.
Sharon Williams (12:02.465)
that pops in your mind. You might think, well that was my thought. Or it could be the Holy Spirit prompting you to do something. And it's it's funny where those thoughts come from, especially if it's right out of somewhere that you hadn't even been thinking about.
Kristen Wambach (12:21.874)
I agree. Yeah. Your focus could be here and all of a sudden it it it does come from a different place. It sometimes changes what you're consistently, you know, thinking about. What I do sometimes, especially when I'm I'm doing heavy listing, I will say, Lord, did you just say this to me? I will ask him point blank, you know, did you say this to me?
Sharon Williams (12:48.477)
Yes. gosh.
Kristen Wambach (12:50.738)
But he is, as your testimony, Holy Spirit's faithful to repeat, to repeat. Yeah, to keep us safe, to keep us, you know, walking in the path that he has planned for us. What other ways there's listening, but you know, our bodies, we we hear the Lord through through feeling, through that tangible love and presence. What other
Kristen Wambach (13:19.006)
has Holy Spirit encouraged you, prompted you to make a move, a change, a a
Sharon Williams (13:28.881)
it taught me a lesson. It reprimanded me. yeah. It I the story is, and boy was it strong. I had some errands to run and so I told my husband, you know, I would be back and everything and He thought I was just going in the neighborhood, but I had a package for the church that was kind of out of my way and I wanted to deliver it, but I just didn't want to mention it and go into a long description of why I had to deliver it. So I just thought I'll just run over there and he'll never know. Well, as I'm driving as I'm driving, all of a sudden it it dawned this it was almost like a voice it was very strong. It said, You just lied to your husband. And I thought, I didn't lie to him. Yes, you did. You omitted the truth and you had a reason for omitting the truth. It's a lie. So when you omit something for a reason, it is a sin. And I thought, my gosh, I never thought of that. I always thought a lie was something you tell, but it can also be something you omit as well. And that was a lesson that the Holy Spirit was giving me as I'm driving the car. And it was very strong. So I'm sharing that with others so that they can be aware too.
Kristen Wambach (15:03.176)
I I agree. I've been married forty-one years and a Holy Spirit all the time says, Keep your mouth shut. That's enough. Let it go. You know.
Kristen Wambach (15:17.064)
Quite frequently, I must say, keep your mouth shut, let it go. And it's true, but I love your story of omitting because what you had done is you had laid, you had communicated with your husband, and your husband had every belief that what you communicated you would follow through. And y and when you
Kristen Wambach (15:40.366)
omitted it when you took that part out, it actually changed your plan. So that wow, that that's I'm gonna have to think on now.
Kristen Wambach (15:53.150)
How many years have you been married, Sharon?
Sharon Williams (15:58.540)
Well, I've this is my third marriage and I've been married twenty six years. I have known him but thirty seven years. So we we have just we have been together for a long time.
Kristen Wambach (16:11.718)
Yes, yes, that's wonderful. That that is wonderful. Now
Kristen Wambach (16:22.142)
Help help us, because sometimes, you know, if we think about we're in what we would call later or mature in life. And for us to pick up a project or to walk out a ministry desire that God has placed in us can be very overwhelming.
Sharon Williams (16:46.273)
Well, the it it wasn't overwhelming until I got into marketing. And marketing is very overwhelming. It's a a big part of your book, but that's not the reason I wrote it. I wrote it for others and I just want to get it in the hands of those that will benefit from it. It's I want their faith to be enhanced.
Sharon Williams (17:13.683)
And I want them to seek God at a more deeper level. And I want them to realize how real He is. And the decisions that they make in this life are extremely important. So that's but writing it writing it was I didn't even have to think about it. It was
Sharon Williams (17:35.360)
I don't know what happened to me. I just wanted to get the word out. And I knew that my years here on earth are now short and it's okay. But I will leave these books as a legacy because when I am when I have gotten passed over Those words will still be here and they'll be in black and white and they can be referred back to. And I hope that it helps people understand whenever they're in a difficult situation that God walks with them. God walks with you.
Kristen Wambach (18:13.170)
Very much so. Very much so. Yes. Yeah. Thank you for for sharing that. Now, did did Holy Spirit change any the way when you were in your writing process? Did he change your day or change your focus, you know, so that you would complete
Sharon Williams (18:32.939)
I love it. I love being in the word. I loved it because there was such a sense of getting to know him even more. You know, we are all so busy. We have this busyness in our minds. And we forget we forget the important stuff of who is responsible for our life, who is responsible for you know our soul. And it it's We get I think to myself, when I am sitting when I'm laying in my bed for the last time, taking my last breath, am I going to be worried about doing the laundry, or sweeping the floors, or the dishes need to be done? No. And that's what that's what it drives us each day. And I'm going to be praying to him when I pray. It's just like talking. So I'm gonna be talking to him, saying, Okay, it's your will be done and I am ready. And so it's, you know, whatever happens, you're Lord of all. And I, you know, I have known that for a long time.
Kristen Wambach (19:44.838)
Yeah. Would you share with us one of your favorite stories or a nutshell of a story that's in one of your books that is just really dear to you?
Sharon Williams (19:58.840)
Yes, I will. Okay. I was twenty two. I was walking home one evening in February. And it was in the evening, so it was getting it was dark. And I looked and there was a church on the corner. And it was all lit up. And I felt compelled to go into that church. I thought, I just want to have a conversation with God because something was heavy on my heart. I had been married for three years and I had not been able to conceive and I didn't know why. I had been doctors, everything's okay. So I walked up the stairs and I and I turned the handle. I really didn't expect it to open, but it did. And so I looked inside and there was no the lights were on, but nobody was there. So I just simply picked a pew, I sit and I knelt. And I asked God, God, if you will allow me to have a child, I will make sure that they grow up knowing you and your word. And and that I would read a chapter of the Bible every every day, morning or evening. That was on February the 9th, and on November the 5th, I brought into this world a son.
Sharon Williams (21:28.393)
Now that's not the end of it. That's that's the first part. The second part is thirteen years later, I have three children now. I'm a working mom. I have a career. I have a house to take care of on the weekends. And it's I'm very, very busy. So it was a Sunday morning in May. the sun was out.
Sharon Williams (21:56.650)
Early May, the birds are singing, it's just beautiful, and I had a screen in patio. So I go out there with my first cup of coffee, the Bible to read my chapter, the Sunday paper, and I plan to spend maybe two or three hours out there before everybody else woke up. My time. Okay, so I I read my chapter and then I said a prayer to God.
Sharon Williams (22:25.289)
And I said, I just had a relative that King was okay from a severe accident. And I was thanking God for bringing this person through. You know. And I ended the prayer kind of different. I said, God, if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know. Now this is where it gets weird. Because I'm wide awake and I want to sit there. But I heard this voice and it said, take your children to church. I couldn't believe it. Well, I thought, I can't sit here now. I've got to go upstairs and get them up. And of course it was a fight. It was the weekend, it was Sunday. And it took us about three tries, but I did find a church for the children. They were baptized. And today I can honestly say God is the center of my children's life. And if that hadn't happened, I was kind of thinking, you know, well, if they see me reading the Bible, maybe it'll be an example for them. But that wasn't enough, and God wanted them to have their own experiences and to come to Him willingly. And that's why.
Kristen Wambach (23:46.237)
That's a beautiful story. I love that. Thank you for sharing. Thank you, Sherry. And thank you for sharing your Hannah prayer, right? Your Hannah prayer. Yes. Yes. Yes. That is so beautiful. Yeah. Now, one of the things that I found out about you is that you used to be terrified about public speaking.
Kristen Wambach (24:16.718)
And yeah, and that you tried so many different things to help you, but God gave you a brilliant strategy and we want to know that brilliant strategy.
Sharon Williams (24:30.213)
Okay. Well during my career I every time I would have to get up in front of someone, an audience, I would hyperventilate. And it's like I couldn't get my message across because I couldn't get my breath. It's embarrassing to me. It was embarrassing to them. And I did try hypnosis, I tried Toastmasters, I tried drugs, Valium. I tried everything I could think of. But it finally the spirit spoke to me, and this is what it said. You are fearing that you're fearing those people that you're addressing. Do not fear, but love them. love them as you would a friend like you are sitting across from them having a conversation and just just love them so I start doing that and it it's no problem at all to talk to you know to give them a message if I have to and to even pray out loud because praying out loud is it's disturbing for some people. They are very intimidated by it. But I just feel that no you you love them just like Christ loved them and it's everything will be okay. You can converse back and forth and you know your message is dotten. It's really great. I want everybody to try that. Don't don't they always say look at the audience like they're in their underwear or something like that. No. Look at them with love like you are talking to a friend. And believe me, it does work. I'm an example of it.
Kristen Wambach (26:19.826)
That's wonderful. Because if just the different perspective of this is your friend, then they they automatically there's a relationship there. And it just opens it up the communication lines that there is a relationship there, even if it's their relationship with the Lord and your relationship with the Lord, he connects us together.
Sharon Williams (26:44.833)
Does he does very much. And fear is the is a tool of the enemy anyway. And so just using a different approach and and just like Jesus Jesus spoke with love. So you know, just try it. You'll be surprised, amazed at how easy it is to then to get your message across.
Kristen Wambach (27:13.022)
Karen, do you have a particular testimony that you have received from somebody who's read your work that would you would you share one of those testimonies about how your words touched them?
Sharon Williams (27:31.082)
I have a friend that lives here, and of course, everyone in my Bible study gets a my book free. So she came to me about six months ago or so, and I know she'd she had lost her husband. And she said, Sharon, she says, I love your book. She says there are parts that I have marked so I can go back and read it again. And to me that was the kindest thing she could have said. And I just I was I didn't prompt her. She c came up to me after class and was telling me this. And it really it really made me feel that it was worthwhile what I did. So I have gotten a f I know that my hairdresser, I gave her the book too, and she has it on her bedstand at night. And she's she goes back and reversed to it also. She told me so. So it's kinda nice.
Kristen Wambach (28:34.940)
Yes. I was reading several of your reviews and the word that kept coming up was that your words are so comforting. That can
Sharon Williams (28:45.249)
Mm-hmm. It's like talking to a friend and that's what I wanted to get across. Yes. So it's
Kristen Wambach (28:53.222)
You and the Lord accomplished that for sure.
Kristen Wambach (28:59.611)
So Sharon, how can our listeners connect with you? How can they find your book?
Sharon Williams (29:07.457)
Well, my book is on Amazon and it's also I think I have it my website is www https://gods-whisper.com/ whisper dot com.
Kristen Wambach (29:30.556)
Excellent. That's wonderful. And that is wonderful. Now Sharon, would you do us all a favor? Would you pray for us? Just the way Holy Spirit, yeah, he's just gonna give you the words. I'm gonna just leave it right there.
Sharon Williams (29:56.322)
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you today with thanks in our heart for all the blessings that you bestow upon us. Dear Father, may the words today that are spoken go to the hearts of those that need it. Bless each and every one, dear Father, as they go about their daily life. Walk with them and talk with them and just let them know of your presence. This world needs your presence so much, dear Father, and I just ask that through your Holy Spirit and through your Son Jesus Christ, that those needs may be met today. Amen.
Kristen Wambach (30:36.530)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, if you would give us just one last encouragement to follow through what we feel Holy Spirit is prompting us in our life. One more encouragement.
Sharon Williams (30:54.335)
One more encouragement. When you if you do not have to just pray and say Amen. You keep the communication open at all times as you go through your day. Communication is so important in a relationship. Yes. And so it's you If you have a question or you want to ask about something, God, why'd you do that? Or God, I I'm really concerned about this. It you just keep the lines of communication open, never close them. And if you feel like singing, sing a hymn. Listen to music is a wonderful way for that bond also to be made. So that's yes.
Kristen Wambach (31:43.273)
Thank you. So I had a picture, and this is for us mature ones. I had a picture of, you know, we used to all have a telephone on the kitchen wall. Yes. And so what I sensed, my picture of what you were sharing with us is just set the receiver down and never hang it up.
Sharon Williams (32:08.511)
Yes, exactly. That is that's the way. Yes. Never hang it out because when you are building a relationship, you want as much communication is so important. It is. And God knows what we're thinking anyway. You know, if He just wants us to tell him. That's all.
Kristen Wambach (32:28.092)
Yes, he wants be a a part of our conversation, our life, everything, our thoughts. Yes. So thank you so much, Sharon, for sharing your heart, for sharing your words, and for following through. Because so many people are blessed because of your follow-through and trust with the Lord. Thank you for sharing your story with us today.
Sharon Williams (32:52.179)
Okay, and thank you so much, Kristen. All right. Bye bye.

NEVER TOO LATE: HOW TO HEAR THE WHISPER THAT REDIRECTS YOUR LIFE.

Have you ever believed the lie that your window for a divine calling has expired? We live in a culture that is obsessed with timelines. We are told when we should start our careers, when we should peak, and when we should quietly retire and fade into the background. But Heaven does not operate on a worldly retirement schedule.
As a spiritual investigative journalist, I am always searching for the practical, outcome-focused Monday-morning logic of walking with the Holy Spirit. I want to know what it actually looks like to partner with Heaven in the middle of a mundane Tuesday. In the latest episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, we sat down with an incredible guest who shatters the illusion of "too late." Sharon Williams is 84 years young, and she did not even start writing her first book until she was 79, right in the middle of a global crisis. Her story is a beautiful testament to living Spiritually BRAVE.

The Ageless Calling in the kingdom

During the height of the pandemic, when the world was surrounded by isolation and sorrow, Sharon felt a distinct prompting. She saw the heavy toll the season was taking on people's faith and hope, and the Holy Spirit whispered to her to write. She didn't let her age or her lack of publishing experience stop her. She simply sat down, opened her heart, and let the words flow.
Sharon's obedience is a massive testament to the reality of God's timing. If you have been sitting on a kingdom assignment because you feel you are too old, too underqualified, or have missed your moment, this is your sign to step out. The Holy Spirit is right beside you, ready to co-author your next chapter.

I knew that my years here on earth are now short and it's okay. But I will leave these books as a legacy because when I have passed over, those words will still be here and they'll be in black and white... I hope that it helps people understand whenever they're in a difficult situation that God walks with them." —Sharon Williams

Recognizing the Protective Whisper

One of the most profound moments of our conversation was Sharon's testimony about the sudden, protective voice of the Holy Spirit. She shared a chilling story of being stopped at a traffic light in downtown Indianapolis. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, and she had her window rolled down to enjoy the breeze. Suddenly, she felt an urgent internal prompting: "Turn."
She hesitated at first, but the whisper grew more urgent: "Turn now." The moment she obeyed and turned her car, a massive rock smashed against her windshield. A young man at the crosswalk had been aiming for her open window. That simple, immediate whisper saved her life.
When we talk about bridging the gap between Heaven and earth, this is exactly what we mean. It is not just about mystical encounters; it is about the real-time, practical guidance that keeps us safe. Jesus is intimately involved in the details of your daily life, and His whisper is always near.

A Safe Path to the Unseen Realm

Sharon also spent nine heavy, beautiful years as a hospice volunteer. After the devastating and sudden loss of her 31-year-old son, she leaned into the grief rather than running from it by sitting at the bedsides of those transitioning into eternity. This gave her a profound, comforting view of the unseen realm.
She reminds us that when the physical body can no longer support the spirit, Heaven simply releases it. Her experiences offer a safe path for our hearts, proving that the kingdom is not something to be feared, but a reality of profound peace, love, and continuous presence.

Overcoming Paralyzing Fear with Love

Many of us have a message to share, but we are terrified to use our voices. Sharon used to hyperventilate at the thought of public speaking. She tried everything from medication to Toastmasters and hypnosis to overcome it. But the breakthrough finally came when she asked God for a kingdom strategy.
The Holy Spirit told her she was looking at her audience through the wrong lens. Instead of fearing their judgment, He instructed her to look at them with love, just as Christ loves them. Treat them like friends sitting across the table. That simple perspective shift completely unlocked her bold voice. When we replace our performance anxiety with genuine love, the friction disappears.

If you've ever had a thought that pops in your mind, you might think, 'Well, that was my thought.' Or it could be the Holy Spirit prompting you to do something... it's funny where those thoughts come from, especially if it's right out of somewhere that you hadn't even been thinking about." – Sharon Williams

The Kitchen Telephone Strategy

If there is one simple takeaway I want you to grab hold of today, it is what I call the "kitchen telephone" strategy. When Sharon was talking about keeping the lines of communication open with God, I immediately pictured those old telephones with the long, curly cords hanging on our kitchen walls.
Living Spiritually BRAVE simply means taking the receiver off the hook and never hanging it up. God knows your thoughts, but He desires the relationship. Keep that line open while you are doing the laundry, running errands, or sitting in traffic. You do not have to wait for Sunday morning or a structured prayer time to speak to Him.

Coaching Church Activations

The Activation:
This week, we are shattering the illusion of an expired timeline and stepping into an open, ongoing dialogue with Heaven. Your kingdom assignment requires constant connection, not just Sunday morning check-ins.

1. Take the Receiver Off the Hook: Choose one mundane pocket of your day—your morning commute, doing the laundry, or making dinner. Deliberately talk to Jesus during this time as if the old kitchen telephone is off the hook and resting on the counter. Ask Him questions, share what you are thinking, and listen for His gentle whisper.
2. Flip the Lens to Love: Identify one God-given idea, project, or conversation you have been avoiding because of fear or performance anxiety. Before you step into it this week, actively choose to look at the people you are serving through the lens of Christ's love rather than your own fear of failure.

The Monday-Morning Outcome:
By removing the pressure of a "formal" prayer time and simply leaving the line open, you will experience a frictionless, smooth stride in your daily routine. When you replace performance anxiety with love, the fear dissolves entirely, leaving you with the bold confidence to step into your unexpired calling today.

Your focus could be here and all of a sudden it comes from a different place. What I do sometimes... I will say, 'Lord, did you just say this to me?' I will ask Him point-blank... Holy Spirit is faithful to repeat, to keep us safe, to keep us walking in the path that He has planned for us." — Kristen Wambach
