A chaotic world often drowns out the peace we seek. But in this meditation, there’s an invitation to step back, breathe, and experience God's steady love.
Host Jay Kim revisits a conversation with Kristel Acevedo from season one, where they explored living fully in God's presence. Acevedo shared how the constant input from social media, news, and daily anxieties can overwhelm and paralyze us. Kim encourages listeners to slow down, take deep breaths, and tune into God’s loving voice, which speaks peace over performance.
Let this meditation guide you towards stillness, where God's loving voice can speak peace into your day. Take a few deep breaths and experience His presence now.
