In this episode Dr. Karen Hyden shares what it means to her when she talks about "going deep," or "diving in deep" with the Lord.

When we are needing God's hand to move in our circumstances, maybe for relationships, healing, provision, guidance and wisdom, whatever it is, we will get there faster when we remove distractions, focus on the Lord and dive deep toward the treasure He has waiting for us.

Diving deep is usually for a season, and it is a way to step on the flesh, allowing your spirit to lead. At the end of a deep dive with the Lord, you will emerge refreshed, empowered, hopeful, and stronger.

If you are struggling in any area of your life, Dr. Karen Hyden encourages you, and the Lord invites you, to dive in!

In this episode Dr. Karen Hyden shares why writing and sharing one's story is so powerful. Through writing your story, you can organize your memories and reflect on the events to find meaning and healing. Through the expressive writing process you can see the events of your life from a Heavenly perspective, enabling you to rewrite your story with an emphasis on strength, healing, resilience and hope for future possibilities. Through the new lens of the positive aspects of your journey, the strengths in you, and the faithfulness of the Lord that have brought you this far, you can start to imagine a hopeful future where you live as your true, authentic self, the way God created you. It is through sharing our stories that we feel connected, validated, and not alone. Sharing our stories, our testimonies, is a powerful tool to point people back to hope in the Lord. Revelations 12:11 says "they have overcome/conquered/bound the enemy by the blood of Jesus and the sharing of their testimonies.

Hear about how the Lord showed her that hope deferred was making her sick, and that through her surrender to Him, He would show up faithful, thus renewing her hope.
