If you want to know and love God more, you'll love this episode. If your life is full, days are busy, and you find yourself frequently feeling overwhelmed, you'll love this episode. If God seems distant and you long to know He’s close, you'll love this episode.

Basically, everyone will benefit from this conversation!

In this episode, I chat with Monica Kirkland, a Christian writer and podcaster, who shares her journey from a distance from God to a deep, vibrant faith. Growing up with an atheist father and sporadically religious mother, Monica found Jesus in high school, discovering prayer as a source of clarity and peace in life’s chaos.

She offers practical tips for staying connected with God and shares how our breakdowns can serve as signposts to show us where God wants to work in our lives.

Her story is a beautiful reminder that prayer changes everything, starting with us.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

Donna
