There's More

I have these two sentences that keep rolling around in my head- things I've heard Christians say that I don't believe are true: Number one, "My relationship with God will have a temporary high". Number two, "Growing your desire for God is selfish". In this episode I throw out these phrases and drop some truth instead. 

I’ve heard the word “idolatry”, I know it’s in the 10 commandments, but honestly, never once have I thought about that word when it comes to my relationship with God. Idolatry isn't a concept stuck in the Old Testament, it's a word and a challenge that we can apply today, that often gets in the way of us experiencing the "more". It may feel a little heavier than our average episode, but I promise...

You know how you look forward to dates with your spouse or hanging out with your best friend? What if you could also look forward to spending an entire day with God? In this episode I share why I intentionally have retreat days and give you three reasons why it's a good idea. Watch out, I also assign homework.  Follow up resources on retreat days > HannahNitz.com

 What does it mean to want the "more" with God? How do you get started? I share my own story of what it looked like, including the crashing identity of having my first child and getting fired from my favorite ministry. Join me to talk about growing a hunger for more of God.

That's a phrase we say, but do we really believe it? Does prayer really change things? Does prayer really matter? Why did God give us such direct access to Him in prayer? Buckle up, y'all. This conversation with Noelle Beck is wildly encouraging and practical. She also gives some advice on how to become a prayer ninja.

When the Bible says we are "stewards of the mysteries of God" and "stewards of God's grace", that's a big deal. God invites us in not just as a servant, but as the manager and chief of staff, taking care of his property while He is gone. I'll break down more of what this means and why it's so sweet! This episode starts with a short clip, talking about the race conversations that have been taking p...

I didn’t really like the Bible the past 10 years. I can say that I appreciated it, but I didn’t enjoy it or crave it. Do you really like the Bible? When Psalm 19 says that the Bible is better than gold and honey, could it actually be true? Join me as I walk through these verses and how God's word could be even better than sugar coated treasure.  Say hello at hannahnitz.com Learn more about Si...

I know God is disappointed with parts of me- I don't spend enough time with Him or do what right. I still feel weird about how crazy I was in college- doesn't it make God sad that I used to do all of those things? I can't lead a Bible study at church yet, I still wrestle with temptation and sin. Many of us aren't experiencing the MORE when it comes to the freedom of the gospel. As Christians who l...

While reading the Bible these last few months, I keep seeing the word “hidden”. I read about God’s hidden wisdom, his hidden mysteries, and his hidden kingdom. If all of these things are so great, why would God hide them? Why would God hide something that he wants everyone to know?  As I've been studying this concept, I've found three reasons why God operates this way! Could his hiding actual...

Every day, I woke up with a list of things I wanted and was motivated for (fun, accomplishment, people thinking I'm cool, being skinny enough). In studying the book of John, I realized Jesus is inviting me into something to satisfying that I would never thirst for those things again. Is it actually possible? Join me as I talk through John 4! Study the book of John the same way Hannah does using Si...

Many of us grew up with this idea of "quiet time", where we quietly sit in a corner with a 15 minute devotional each morning. When it comes to experiencing the "more" of God this podcast often talks about, we have something different in mind for your daily routine. Join Noelle Beck, Laura Veale, and Hannah Nitz as they share why they want to cancel quiet time and what they are inviting you into in...

The 25 minute talk I wish every Christian on the planet could hear. A hand-me-down faith. That is what we all start out with- learning about God from someone else.  Do our Christian books, podcasts, and sermons help us "make our faith our own"? Laura Veale shares her story of realizing she was a Christian her entire life, but didn't actually KNOW God. This talk was from our Akron Women on Purpose...

It it that simple? Could understanding God does things WITH me and not just FOR me really make all the difference?

The Coronavirus forced churches across the country to close their buildings and put a pause on all in-person get togethers, but it’s OK. Hannah shares her semi-controversial opinion that temporarily pausing all Christian churches and communities could be better for the long term health of believers. You'll also get to hear from Hannah's mentor of 20 years- Noelle Beck! hannahnitz.com

God doesn’t need our help, he wants our relationship.  God doesn’t need our doing, he wants our desire. Do you believe that? What does it mean to quit "doing" and instead have a heart that just wants God? Hannah shares this paradigm shift and encourages you to stop doing so much. Say hello at hannahnitz.com !

It's everywhere. It's effecting you. It's possibly even filling you with questions about your faith, God's protection, and if you really trust. I asked my friend Laura Veale to join me, and she shares two simple words that have changed everything. I promise you'll walk away with the wisdom and challenge you need to handle these upcoming weeks of the coronavirus Follow up with Laura at hannahnitz.c...

Everything is shut down and canceled- but the greatest freaking thing in life you can still access every day. Join Hannah as she talks about what “Eternal Life” actually means!

Do you interact with God as your Christian worldview? That's great, but do you stop there? For the past 10 years I've used the Bible more as a "truth manual" and less of a tool to build a relationship with God. My "quiet time" always seemed kinda boring- but a few small changes have lit up my life!

We discuss humility, giving up neutral things, the tension between the freedom of the gospel and surrender, and what it looks like to grow your desire for God. Oh, and the ending of the "Hannah Show". Follow Up Blog: Neutral Things Aren't Neutral
