"What is the way that you can connect with your heart and become aware of the presence of God in your life?" - Michael John Cusick

On this episode of Restoring the Soul, Michael dives into practicing devotions and the significance of having them in our spiritual journey. He explores different ways to connect with our hearts and become aware of the presence of God in our lives. Whether walking, praying, or remembering scripture, there are countless ways to cultivate a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Michael emphasizes the need for deeper connection and understanding. Sharing insights from his experience as a therapist and conversations with people across the country, he addresses the struggles many face in sustaining a spiritual practice and offers alternative language that aligns with our hearts.

Together, we'll navigate struggles, guilt, and the purpose of having regular devotions. Remember, your devotional life and spiritual practices are not meant to earn anything but to posture our hearts to make space for God, who already dwells within us.
