Are you a busy mom who wants consistent spiritual habits but struggles with quiet time guilt?

In this episode of Spoonfuls of Honey, Hala sits down with author Hannah Seymour to talk about how Christian women can grow spiritually in busy seasons without shame, overwhelm, or unrealistic expectations.

If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be reading your Bible more, praying longer, or waking up earlier — this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode you'll learn:
• How to build spiritual habits that fit real life
• The difference between reading and studying the Bible
• Why small “seed habits” create lasting spiritual growth
• Simple ways to practice biblical intake in under 5 minutes
• Letting go of quiet time culture
• Staying close to God in the middle of motherhood

Hannah shares how starting small — even 60 seconds in Scripture — can transform your thought life and help you stay connected to God all day long.

If you’re a Christian woman who longs for consistency with God but feels stretched thin, this episode will give you practical tools, biblical encouragement, and permission to begin right where you are.

Small habits. Real life. Deep roots.

Let’s find your next spoonful of honey.

In this episode, Hala reflects on how God has been gently shifting her away from striving, hustle, and the pressure to “do more for Him,” and toward faithful obedience in the small, everyday things.

Drawing from Romans 5, Matthew 25 (the parable of the talents), the story of Daniel, and Isaiah 61:3, she explores what it truly means to become “oaks of righteousness”—deeply rooted, steady, and formed over time rather than through constant effort or visible achievement.

Through personal reflection and Scripture, Hala shares how God has been inviting her to tend to what He has already placed in her hands: reading Scripture, practicing listening prayer, noticing her spoonfuls of honey, and caring for her family with presence and love.

This episode offers a gentle reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t come from doing more, but from faithfulness with what God has already given.

✨ In this episode, listeners will explore:
– What Scripture teaches about obedience in small things
– Why God values faithfulness over visibility and productivity
– How spiritual formation happens slowly and quietly
– Releasing hustle culture in faith and daily life
– Becoming rooted as oaks of righteousness

This episode is for anyone feeling weary from trying to prove their faith or measure spiritual maturity by productivity, and who longs to walk closely with God through simple, faithful obedience right where they are.
