BONUS // Pressing Pause, Pursuing Peace: A Soul Sabbatical + Proverbs Study Plan (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a tender reminder that even the encourager needs encouragement, and even the teacher needs time to rest and be poured into. I’m sharing a personal update as I step into a summer sabbatical for the rest of July—a season of soul retreat, stillness, and deeper intimacy with the Lord.

We’re also introducing a simple yet powerful tool for your quiet time: the SOAP method. As we walk through the Book of Proverbs together this month, this practice will help you reflect more deeply on Scripture—whether you’re journaling, walking, or listening on the go.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to stay spiritually grounded during busy seasons or breaks from routine, this episode will show you a grace-filled way forward. You’ll also receive a Biblical affirmation to carry in your heart this month, plus a special journal prompt to guide your time with God. Just because the podcast is pausing doesn’t mean the growth has to stop.

🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.
