Summary
In this very special BONUS episode, I’m taking you on a cozy visit to the College of the Ozarks where I got to sit down with author, speaker, and First Lady of the college, Laura Johnson.
In honor of the National Day of Prayer, we’re talking about all things prayer journaling—how it helps us stay faithful in prayer, recognize God’s work in our lives, and grow spiritually through even the most challenging seasons.
Laura shares how prayer journaling has become such a powerful practice in her life and offers thoughtful encouragement for anyone who has ever felt stuck or discouraged in their own prayer life. With stories, laughter, and even the sweet scent of waffle cones in the air, this episode is both a gentle challenge and a heartfelt invitation to keep praying—no matter what season you're in.
