Shifting Your Perspective on Devotional Life with Cara Blondo

This episode is part of my 1,000 Little Ways series, where we explore small but meaningful practices to nurture our relationship with God. In Episode 30 of the podcast, I’m joined by Cara Blondo, host of the Perspective Shifts podcast, for an inspiring conversation about how our devotional lives can evolve with the seasons of life.

Cara’s wisdom and practical insights will encourage you to think creatively about how you spend time with God, especially when life feels busy or overwhelming. We talked about how reframing what devotional life looks like can open the door to a deeper, more consistent relationship with God.

What We Discussed

• Creative Ways to Spend Time with God: Cara shared practical ideas for connecting with God, like listening to worship music or Scripture during everyday tasks, tuning in to uplifting podcasts, or reading Scripture slowly to savor its meaning.
• Honoring God in the Small Moments: We reflected on how even the smallest acts of devotion—like turning your heart toward God during a busy day—are precious to Him, much like the widow’s offering in Scripture.
• Reframing Quiet Time: Cara encouraged us to stop holding ourselves to an ideal of a perfectly quiet, uninterrupted time with God and instead embrace a devotional life that fits our current season.
• Obedience and Emotions: She reminded us that emotions often follow obedience, encouraging us to prioritize time with God even when we don’t feel like it.

Cara also shared a Scripture that’s inspiring her connection with God right now and introduced a beautiful resource she’s created to help you deepen your own devotional life.

A Perspective Shift for Your Devotional Life

Our conversation was a powerful reminder that spending time with God doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Whether it’s through small, intentional moments or creative approaches, your devotional life can reflect the unique season you’re in.
