In this faith-filled episode of Faith Fueled Woman, I sit down with spiritual director Robin Kencel to explore how we can experience God more intimately and live with greater joy—right in the middle of our everyday lives. Robin shares how spiritual direction and intentional faith practices like the examen and lectio divina can help us recognize God’s presence, especially during life transitions or seasons of spiritual dryness.

We talk about how God uses simple moments to speak to us, and how embracing our gifts, passions, and purpose can lead us to deeper faith and more joy. Whether you're feeling disconnected or just want to go deeper in your spiritual walk, this conversation offers wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools to help you reconnect with God and rediscover joy.

• You don’t have to wait for a big moment—God often speaks in the quiet, everyday spaces of life.
• Spiritual direction can help you hear God more clearly and navigate life transitions with clarity and peace.
• Joy is not something we chase—it’s something we cultivate when we are rooted in God’s presence.
• Practices like lectio divina and the daily examen can help you reflect, reconnect, and grow spiritually.
• Embracing your gifts and interests isn’t selfish—it’s how God wired you to live out your calling with impact.
