Adding spiritual practices to your life with Laura L. Smith

We are in the midst of a busy season for parents, which is exactly why this week’s episode is an important one to listen to! I am joined by Laura L. Smith and we are talking about the importance of slowing down and how adding spiritual practices can enrich our daily lives.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The gift of different parenting stages
• Practical steps to prioritize what matters in our busy lives
• The significance of adding spiritual practices like prayer and fasting into daily routines.
• How fasting is a way to remember our reliance on God and why setting intentions for fasting helps focus our spiritual journey.

Laura L. Smith is a popular speaker and best-selling author. The Urgency of Slowing Down is her fourteenth book. Smith speaks around the country sharing the love of Christ at conferences, churches, and events.

The conversation emphasizes that Jesus loves us unconditionally and encourages parents to find time for themselves and their relationship with God. I know you will leave it with some action steps to slow down, reprioritize some things, and deepen your relationship with the Lord.

With love,

Steph
