When every decision has more data, more risks, and more possible outcomes, thinking can become a substitute for moving. Continuing their discussion about rest and reflection, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore analysis paralysis—the point where careful planning turns into anxious circles that keep us from acting on what we are called to do.Father explains that the first step is noticing the energy beneath the overthinking. Fear, anxiety, excitement, or desperation for a particular outcome can make everything feel urgent, even when we do not yet have enough information—or do not need an immediate conclusion. The answer is not always more logic. Sometimes we need space, outside perspective, inspiration, and a gentler awareness of what is happening inside us.The Christian response is recollection: returning to the interior place where God dwells and acting from relationship with Him rather than from fear. Like someone viewing an entire landscape before suddenly fixating on a nearby lion, we can become so locked onto success, failure, or control that we lose sight of the whole reality. Recollection does not eliminate planning or focused work. It reconnects our actions to God, ourselves, and the people we are serving.The episode closes with a practical habit: throughout the day, pause for a few seconds and remember that Jesus is alive within you and present with you. That simple act of awareness can gradually become a way of living—strengthening your relationship with God, helping you treat yourself with greater care, and bringing more attention, freedom, and love into every relationship.Key IdeasAnalysis becomes paralysis when fear or urgency keeps us circling without making meaningful progress.More information and harder thinking are not always the answer; sometimes clarity requires space, patience, or outside perspective.Do not confuse activity with results—planning matters only when it supports intentional action.Recollection means remaining aware of God's presence within you while doing the ordinary work of daily life.A practical exercise: pause briefly throughout the day, remember that Jesus is with you, and act from that relationship.Links & ReferencesNone explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Seeking the Presence of God

Today's Fear-Laden Events and “Noise” Will Not Matter If You Practice the Presence of God as You Live Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: You cannot practice the presence of God when you practice the presence of fear. You may be inclined to fear for the future of our country or fear about your personal finances or family or health issues. If you practice the presence of God, you will have peace in amidst your life-storm and trauma. The “Presence of Jesus” in your life begins with persistent prayer to the end that you constantly and consistently seek to include Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, in all aspects of your life. “Practicing the Presence of Jesus” in your life will prove to be life changing a rewarding. Jesus provides comfort for your anxieties in Mathew 6:33-34: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Also, in Mathew 11:28-30, Jesus makes it clear to you that He wants to walk with you in your times of trouble and fear so that you can offload to Him, the Creator of the Universe, some of those issues that drive your fears: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.". If you practice the presence of God, it will not matter what this world or the devil throws your way.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Resentment. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Compassion. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:1-5; Psalms 37:41-50.

In this message, Samuel Goulet teaches on the biblical blessing found in Numbers 6 and how God's blessing should shape the way we bless our families, spiritual families, and everyone around us. He unpacks the blessing of God's security, presence, peace, and identity, then gives practical ways to pass that blessing on through meaningful touch, life-giving words, vision, and committed faithfulness. This episode is a call to reject false sources of security, receive deeply from the presence of Jesus, and become people who consistently bless others with the love, grace, and purpose of God.

Presence of God | Pastor Matthew Medick | 6/28/2026 by Redeeming Love Church

We're returning to a soul-filling conversation with Dr. Tom Schwanda ahead of his summer class, "Experiencing the Presence: Walking with God All Day Long," which will be running from July 13-17. Two years ago, he spoke with Claire and Christina about the joys of soul recreation, enjoying God, contemplation and meditation. Drawing on the rich history of the church and artistic engagement with Scripture, Tom invites us to slow down and notice God in our lives. He also tackles the distractions that keep us from God. If you are longing for this kind of rest, consider joining us this summer.Tom's BioAfter serving as a pastor for eighteen years, Tom Schwanda taught Christian spirituality at Wheaton College until his retirement. He now serves as Senior Fellow for Christian Spirituality at the C. S. Lewis Institute and continues to teach Doctor of Ministry courses at several seminaries. He is a trained spiritual director and has published widely. His most recent publication is Whitefield on the Christian Life: New Birth to Enjoy God (Crossway, 2025).

If you had to describe God in one word, what would you say? One answer that made me pause recently was "present." There is a kind of refreshing we can only find when we remember God is with us.

Watch on YouTube Join Shane and Makayla of 11th Hour Worship as they sit down with Carson Bruce on The Worship Keys Podcast for a conversation that goes way beyond music. From a calling that started in high school to a John the Baptist "prepare the way" mission, Shane and Makayla open up about hiddenness, character, and obedience as the real foundation of worship leading. They dig into what it means to steward God's presence in corporate worship, why offstage devotion matters most, and how to leave room for genuine flow. Bob Sorge's Ark of the Covenant analogy gives the conversation serious weight, and they get refreshingly practical about Sunday service constraints and training leaders to hear God. The episode wraps with worship lyrics that bring everything back to the feet of Jesus. If you're serious about leading worship from the inside out — don't skip this one.Eleventh Hour WorshipAerospare AudioSupport the showThanks for listening!

God is with you everyday.

God is with you everyday.

On Pope Leo's first international trip last year, he shared that the book "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence helped shape his spirituality. Father Dave welcomes Father Gregory Pine and Rebecca Dougherty as they dive into this work in the latest season of Ascension's "Catholic Classics" podcast.

Text:  Genesis 39 God's Presence in Our Success (Gen. 39:1-6a) God was with Joseph through uncertainty and hardship as he is taken as a slave to Egypt. God was with Joseph as the source of his success in Potiphar's household. We must look to God through every season knowing that anything we receive is from His good hand of providence. God's Presence in Our Temptation (Gen. 39:6b-18) God was with Joseph in the midst of sexual temptation. Joseph resisted temptation out of integrity to his authority and his commitment to God's ways. We must look to God as we are tempted, knowing that He is more satisfying than anything sin can offer us. God's Presence in Our Adversity (Gen. 39:19-23) God was with Joseph as he was falsely accused and forced into prison. God displayed His steadfast love and favor to Joseph. We must look to God in our hardships as our hope and help in all circumstances. In Christ our Savior we have "God with us" who is in us and will never forsake us (Matt. 1:21-23; Heb. 13:5-6). Main Idea: God is with us and at work within us through all circumstances to empower us to live faithfully and trust in His providence.

2 Samuel 6:1-23Scott Gurley | June 14, 2026

How do we actually practice the presence of God in our lives? Fr. Gregory and Rebecca explore how prayer is not meant to be confined to just the chapel or a quiet hour in the morning, but woven into cooking meals, opening laptops, caring for children, working, studying, and everyday responsibilities.

THE PRESENCE OF GOD | PROPHET SHEPHERD BUSHIRI

If you had one request for God, would you ask for a breakthrough or for His presence? Moses chose the latter, understanding that knowing God's ways is more vital than merely witnessing His acts. This message explores how a purified heart unlocks a deeper level of divine guidance, turning God's presence into the very map you need for the journey ahead.

Life is shaped by rhythms that form who we become. Rhythms of Grace is an ongoing series that explores spiritual practices to help us grow in faith and experience God's presence. These disciplines—such as prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and more —aren't about earning God's love, but about living more fully in it. Each message will unpack a practice and provide practical tools to help you put it into action. In a world of hurry and distraction, these rhythms help us slow down and re-center on what matters most. As we follow Jesus, these practices shape us, both individually and collectively as the church, into His image.

Moses pitched a tent outside the camp called the "Tent of Meeting." There, God would speak to Moses "face to face, as one speaks to a friend." Across scripture—from Adam and Abraham to Jesus' disciples—God desires friendship with His creation. Yet, in our modern culture, we are experiencing a "friendship recession." We must reclaim the depth of friendship, both with one another and with God, moving past the surface-level encounters we have settled for.Key Points1. God Desires True FriendshipGod doesn't speak to Moses as a subordinate, but as a friend. When Jesus arrived, He wasn't known as a political leader or an entrepreneur, but as a "friend of sinners." He told His disciples, "I no longer call you servants... I have called you friends." Discipleship is friendship. Yet, we often reduce this profound invitation to a scheduled 15-minute "quiet time." God is everywhere; He desires a relationship that permeates our daily lives, not just an appointment on a calendar.2. The Friendship RecessionWe spend more time alone than any previous generation. Friendship has been reduced to a social luxury rather than a daily necessity. If we lack the capacity for deep, vulnerable relationships with the people around us, it will inevitably damage our capacity for a deep relationship with God.Stop finding time; make time. You make time for what you value.Stop finding friends; be a friend. If you go out to be a friend—focused on being interested rather than interesting—you will never lack friendship.3. Grateful, But Not Satisfied (Show Me Your Glory)Moses had seen more of God's glory than anyone—the burning bush, the plagues, the parting of the sea. Yet, in Exodus 33, he asks, "Now show me your glory." He was grateful for past encounters, but he was not satisfied.Many Christians are living off a spiritual high from ten years ago. We have become "domesticated tigers," settling for small, scheduled moments instead of hungering for the wild, full presence of God.A true revival happens when God's people band together and declare, "Show us your glory! We will not be satisfied with what the previous generation experienced. Do it again."4. The Ultimate Glory is JesusHow does God answer Moses' request to see His glory? In Matthew 17, at the Transfiguration, Moses finally stands in the Promised Land alongside Jesus. The glory Moses asked to see in Exodus was ultimately revealed in the person of Christ. If we want to show a hungry generation the glory of God, we must stop pointing to ourselves, our cool aesthetics, or our trendy evangelism strategies. Like John the Baptist, we must simply and constantly point to Jesus in every season of our lives.ConclusionGod has invited us into a profound friendship. As we reflect on what God has done in our lives and in our church, let us be deeply grateful, but never satisfied. Let us reject shallow routines and isolation, choosing instead to pursue God with a "greed for His presence," constantly pointing the world to Jesus.Calls to ActionEvaluate Your Friendship with God: Are you treating God like a scheduled appointment or a true friend? Move beyond the 15-minute quiet time and invite Him into your entire day.Be a Friend: This week, actively make time to deepen a relationship. Ask questions, be vulnerable, and focus on being interested in someone else's story.Point to Jesus: In your victories and your defeats, make it your primary goal to point others to the glory of Christ rather than yourself.
