 Show Notes Are you coming to the 2026 Pray Without Ceasing Conference? I would love to see you! Grab your tickets here: 2026 Pray Without Ceasing Conference in Buena Park, CA Episode Overview What if the reason you feel distant from God, depleted, and off-center as a leader has nothing to do with your faith — and everything to do with your first hour? In this episode, we are talking about something that sounds simple but changes everything: establishing a routine of quietness. Not a productivity hack. Not a five-step morning checklist. A deliberate, daily practice of slowing down so you can actually hear God speak. Because here is the truth: if you want to know what to do with your life, with your leadership, with your family — slow down. God will tell you. But you have to make the space to hear Him. And most of us aren't doing that. God is not optional. He is not a last resort you call on when things fall apart. He is a Father who wants to be in a relationship with you every single day — starting with the first moments of your morning. The 2020 Wake-Up Call In 2020, I had a seven-month-old and a three-year-old. I remember standing in the store staring at an empty shelf — no diapers, no wipes — holding my baby and feeling like I couldn't breathe. Full panic. That moment showed me something: I had been professing faith but not building it. I had only been going to God when I needed rescuing — not in the quiet, ordinary seasons. Don't wait for a crisis to build the relationship. Start now. God Is Not Like Your Earthly Father He knew you before you were born. (Jeremiah 1:5) You don't have to earn His love. He chose you before you did anything. He gives good gifts — freely. "How much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him." — Matthew 7:11 (NLT) And if your father left — God adopts. "Although my father and my mother have abandoned me, yet the Lord will take me up." — Psalms 27:10 (AMP) "Father to the fatherless — this is God, whose dwelling is holy." — Psalms 68:5 (NLT) "Fear not, for I am with you… I will strengthen you, I will help you." — Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) Come to Him with your whole heart — wounds and all. He can hold all of it. Write the Vision First Before you build a routine, get clear on what you're building toward. "Write the vision and make it plain." — Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV) Ask yourself: If your routine was already established, what does tomorrow look like? What is different about you? Then ask God to give you the strategy. He knows your season better than your calendar does. Just Start Can you give God 15 focused minutes? Then start there. Don't fall for all-or-nothing thinking — "If I can't give God an hour it's not worth it." That is a lie that keeps you from starting at all. "Those who seek me early and diligently will find me." — Proverbs 8:17 (AMP) He is not hard to find. If you seek Him, you will find Him. My Morning Routine Deep breathing to slow down and arrivePrayer — honest and conversationalBible reading and a bookHighlighting and journaling as I goWorship music in the background to welcome God into the atmosphere Build yours around what works for your season. Ask God what it should look like. Routine Is Order — Order Takes Discipline "If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding." — Proverbs 15:32 (NLT) A morning routine is not a productivity habit. It is spiritual order. It is saying: God, You are first — before my phone, my to-do list, and the noise of the day. That decision, made consistently, will change who you are. "I love those who love me; and those who seek me early and diligently will find me." — Proverbs 8:17 (AMP) This Week's Challenge Pick your start time — what is actually realistic for your life right now?Write down what 15–30 minutes with God looks like for you.Show up tomorrow and let it begin.
