You wake up early to pray, but your mind won't settle. You open your Bible, but the words feel distant and deep down you wonder "why do I still feel so far from God?"

It's easy to stay busy even in prayer, but what if the noise isn't around you? It's actually inside you. 

Today's conversation is a gentle invitation into silence. A silence that is not just the absence of sound. But the kind of stillness that brings your soul a little bit closer to the Lord.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, we're joined by Deanna Bartalini, a certified Spiritual Director, retreat leader, speaker, writer, and founder of Live Not Lukewarm.

We talk about: 

  • the power of quiet and interior silence, 
  • some non-negotiables to keep us grounded in our faith life, 
  • how to pray with scripture, 
  • the importance of soul-care, 
  • and the courage it takes to say yes to God—especially in seasons of transition. 

Deanna shares her journey of rediscovering her calling later in life, and how making space for prayer and stillness became essential to hearing God's voice again. 

This honest and hope-filled conversation is an invitation to step away from the noise, trust God's timing, and care for your soul as you walk with Him.
