This has been strong in my heart this week. God is inviting us into a new season. For some, it has to do with natural shifts–jobs, relationships, living situations, etc. It also pertains to a new depth of intimacy with the Lord. Whether you have felt stuck in the mundaneness of life, been overwhelmed with busyness, or are in a time of comfort and peace, this word is for you.

THE BREATHING GOD PODCAST
HOST: GRETCHEN RODRIGUEZ
Throughout the month of September, the Lord has shown me a repeated image. Countless times, especially when I’m praying for someone, I see Him kneeling before His beloved (that’s you and me) and gently blowing upon the embers of our hearts. He is awakening a passion in His bride that cannot be quenched. He invites us to walk more closely to Him and hear His whispers for ourselves.To live from our hearts and not our heads. To be transformed in a way that ruins our desire for the lesser things of this world. He is calling us back to the power of first-love surrender but with the maturity and character of those who walk the narrow path.This is a call to deeper consecration to Him. Not because we feel obligated to forced obedience but because every fiber of our beings is yearning to know Him in ways we never have. And this longing is a gift from our faithful Father.For help with anxiety, consider my audio-soaking sessions, Be Still.For my 5-Minute Reset on YouTube, click here.For 2 hours of soft rain sound, click here.For my worship playlist on YouTube, click here.For my audio-soaking sessions that help escort you out of anxiety and into the presence of God, click here:https://www.gretchenrodriguez.com/help-for-anxietyIf you'd like to say thank you with a financial gift, you can click here.

Today we talk about one of the ways you may be hearing or sensing God without realizing it. I also share a word of encouragement from Jesus that is vital for every one of us, regardless of the season we're in.To see the prophetic picture I talk about in this episode, go here:https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=362511859212955&set=a.125804082883735 VISIT KINGDOMWINDS.COM EVERY THURSDAY AT 2 PM EST FOR A NEW EPISODE.
Today's episode is taken from a recent session of my mentorship group. It is beautiful, personal, holy, and an ongoing, unfolding, life-changing revelation for me.
Honestly, I'm struggling to write a description for this episode because I'm an ooey gooey mess in His glory. I'll tell you this-- if you've experienced God's radical love and want more, this episode is for you. And if He seems distant and mysterious, and you're dry and weary, this episode is for you too. ;)
"I want and I choose what better leads to the deepening of God's life in me." This quote from St. Ignatius sums up what this episode is about.
Having just returned from 8.5 days on a silent retreat, I am soooo full and cannot wait to share this episode with you.
Do you future-trip? Do you live with one foot in today and one in tomorrow? Or next week? Next year?
Or are you living in the past, constantly thinking of what was? The Lord encountered me so sweetly with a word He wants me to share with you.
Join me on Episode 15 as we talking about living with God, "The Eternal Now," one moment at a time.
Please note, this episode is best watched on YouTube because I have a visual for you. You can find the episode here: https://youtu.be/Yup5QB2qDA4
Today I chatted with Rachel Faulkner-Brown of Be Still Ministries and co-host of the amazing There Is More podcast. We had so much fun talking before recording that our conversation continued on this podcast. We dive into a smorgasbord of thought that centers around catching a fresh vision for our lives.
You can find her here https://www.bestillministries.net/

Here is a bit about Rachel:
Rachel Faulkner Brown is a girl with a past like your worst nightmare and a present that is pretty darn fun. After marrying Rod in 2013, Rachel began Be Still Ministries in Atlanta, Ga. Never Alone Widows is the outreach ministry of Be Still Ministries. Rachel and her ministry partner, Karen McAdams, published their first Bible study in January 2021 called Father's House and the Never Alone team created a devotional for widows called 'His Name-Our Hope in Grief.' Father's House and How to Widow Well, a 20 video curriculum for widows, is now available on digital platforms reaching 4 million women and in 20,000 churches. Be Still Ministries has hosted over 1200 widows for their curated retreats over the last three years and received a grant from the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2020 to expand the outreach ministry for military and first responder widows. Although Rachel stays busy telling the story of Be Still Ministries and Never Alone Widows, she still would say her greatest role is that of wife and mother.
This episode is for those surrounded by chaos, afflicted by anxiety, or feeling dry and weary. God is not shocked by your emotions or confessions, and He wants to talk to you about them. He wants to heal you and set you free, not just so you can temporarily feel better but so that you can live free and release healing to others.

Here's more about Karen:
How does one write their own bio? I’ve lived in Atlanta for forever with my husband of 28 years, Kevin, and have 2 amazing sons Connor (27) and Cade (24). My family and friends would tell you that I am passionate about Jesus, Truth, vulnerability, and naps. Oh, and that I always know where to take a good Jesus-field-trip! I would say that they are pretty much right. But you have to know that’s not who I have always been.
Although I walked the aisle and prayed “the prayer” at 17, I didn’t really know Christ. In fact, I didn’t know that you could. I was handed a bible, given the list of do’s and don’ts, and deduced that it was up to me to impress God. Let’s just say, it didn’t take very long to fail at that endeavor.
By the time I was in my late 20’s, I had become a professional “hider” – I knew how to play the part on the outside, but I was completely falling apart on the inside. Childhood trauma, 2 failed engagements, and a backpack of shame and masks had taken their toll on me. I was convinced I was unlovable and a spectacular disappointment to God. Until. Well…you know what comes next. Until I met HIM. Like really met HIM.
The words He spoke caught me off guard – they were breathtaking words for someone like me. That encounter with HIM became the catalyst for a journey into a life that I didn’t know was possible. I discovered that “good” isn’t really sufficient to describe just how good He really is! And that the abundant life isn’t a metaphor or a Christian slogan, but an invitation for all people, anywhere, anytime – as long as you are willing to come to HIM on his terms. He gives bear hugs and throws parties before listening to apologies. That’s the Papa God I know. Let’s just say I want you to know Him too.
Oh and then there’s the other stuff…

Today's conversation is going to stir your heart! My friend, Chuck Maher, joins me to talk about releasing heaven into the hearts around us. The more we get to know the One who is Love, the more we want to walk in partnership with Him.
Chuck is a husband, dad, speaker, author, revivalist and a prophetic voice. In the early 1990’s he was dramatically impacted by an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Eastern Canada. Since that time, his life has been marked by hunger for God and a ministry that puts the love and power of Jesus on display. His desire is to help people understand their identity, walk in their destiny and impact society with the message and demonstration of the kingdom of God.
Chuck recently released his first book, Kingdom Perspectives: Seeing Yourself, Others, and the World Through the Lens of Heaven.

We’ve become so addicted to mental stimulation and busyness that we don’t realize how distracted we are until we try to settle down and exhale. We are constantly going. Planning. Working. Shopping. Scrolling. Inhaling every tidbit of information thrown at us through social media, online searches, and news. Today, the Lord invites you to exhale with Him.
Today, we walk through an encounter with the Living Flame, and discover that our desire, whether strong or weak, captures God's heart.

Today I talk about the Asbury College revival meetings and the desire of God to revive every heart with Love's awakening kiss.

Today we chat a bit about the vision I shared a couple of episodes ago about stepping into the Light. Everything looks difference once our eyes adjust to the brightness. We see things we never knew were there before. And we find that even in the darkness, God never left our side.
I'm thrilled to bring Dr. Johnnett Thatcher into the conversation today, discussing what happens scientifically when we spend time with God. The episode is filled with practical ways to dial down into peace and live the life you were created to live.
Dr. Johnnett Thatcher is a board certified chiropractic physician and along with her husband, has over 25 years of experience. She has a passion for health and she excels as a nutritional health coach and lecturer for patients around the country.
She believes that health is a body, soul and spirit work.You can find her here: https://www.drjohnnettthatcher.com/
The Lord gave me a vision for His beloved bride. A door has opened to us and He is inviting us to step in, baggage and all. This is a life-transforming encounter for us that will change the way we look at everything in our lives.
On this last podcast of 2022, I share the number one most popular episode of the year, Does God Really Care? I also share a brief update regarding The Breathing God Podcast. Merry Christmas, everyone!
The Lord recently took me into a vision where I saw a tidal wave of healing being released to the body of Christ. Emotional wounds, soul wounds, and places that have held trauma, are going to receive profound healing. This is a right now word that I believe will encourage your heart and usher you into the healing and freedom you've been crying out for.
This has been strong in my heart this week. God is inviting us into a new season. For some, it has to do with natural shifts–jobs, relationships, living situations, etc. It also pertains to a new depth of intimacy with the Lord. Whether you have felt stuck in the mundaneness of life, been overwhelmed with busyness, or are in a time of comfort and peace, this word is for you. Come, turn aside to see what the Lord wants to say to you.
If you'd like to say thank you with a financial gift, you can click here. I really appreciate it.
God is inviting you into a rhythm of life that transforms you at the deepest level. When I accepted this invitation from the Father, it literally changed my life, and I believe it will change yours too.

This is part two of living in face-to-face relationship with the Lord. Through an encounter in Exodus ch. 33, I was ushered into a new understanding of the power of His presence in the midst of darkness. I pray this episode will be a blessing to you!
Recently, I've been drawn to an old Don Potter song, "Show me your face, Lord," and He has recked me in the best possible way. I believe the Lord is inviting us into a lifestyle of living face-to-face. Let's talk about that today!
If you'd like to worship with the Upperroom's incredible version of the song, here is the link: Show me your face, Lord.
Is love leading your relationship with God or is something else? Let's talk about how religion has snuck into a relationship that is meant to be beautiful, meaningful, and freeing. Let's break free from religion in a way we may not have known we needed to.
Today, Gretchen leads you through an encounter that unlocks that chains of fear and anxiety.
In this episode, we encounter the Lord together so that He can do a deeper work of healing in our hearts.
We all get tempted with fear, worry, and stress. Perhaps, like me, you get tempted to FIX the things (or people) that feel out of control. However, the Lord wants us free from carrying the heavy burden of trying to be a rescuer because He is the TRUE RESCUER! Today, I unpack an encounter I had with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one of the most powerful encounters I've ever had. Love is running to YOU today to rescue you and set your heart free!
If your mind has been running on a "hamster's wheel," you've been distracted, overly busy (physically OR mentally), or discouraged, this episode is for you.

Today I share two visions the Lord gave me to encourage you. The first has to do with finding hope when the storms of life are raging. The second vision has to do with the people in our lives who have been heavy on our heart. I believe this session is going to help bring a fresh perspective to what you're going through.
The Lord gave me a prophetic picture for those who are sitting in the darkness of turmoil, waiting for the Lord to come through. Take a good look at the podcast photo for this episode and then join me as I share what He showed me. I believe it will encourage your heart.
I saw the Lord erasing our boundary lines concerning faith. He is about to WOW us and do things we wanted to believe He’d do but were scared to fully believe because we didn’t want to be disappointed. We are about to rise to a new level of faith because of His great love!
Join me today as we dive into this prophetic word and talk about our real struggles with faith.
The Lord gave me two visions for those who are going through the fires of adversity. Join me today as I share God's heart with you.

Right there, in the center of your being, is the Lord. He is in you and you are in Him. You are the merging of divinity and humanity. You are a new creation in Christ and you have been created to know and experience Him. Today, I lead you into the Word and as you engage with it, you will encounter the Lord's holiness, beauty, love and reality.
We all want a full life, saturated and overflowing with all God has for us. Today, I unpack what the Lord spoke to my heart for us. He is inviting us into a life so full that we drip with Him wherever we go.
Today I share a portion of a prophetic word and talk more about contemplation. One of the biggest hindrances to silent prayer (contemplation) is our minds. For most of us, it takes time and patience. Stillness comes more naturally as we practice it, and soon it becomes a home we easily return to.
Today I begin to unpack a little more about contemplation and how it can radically change our relationship with the Lord for the better!
Today I share exciting personal news and lead you into the desire of God for you today.
I had a glorious encounter with Jesus a while back. His glory was radiating through me and all that could be seen was Him. This weekend He asked me a very important question about what could dim that glory in us. Today, I unpack the encounter and what He taught me. This episode is for you!
The anointing of the Lord was heavy on me during this episode. He wants us to become unshakable because He is unshakable. Today's episode went in a completely different direction than I planned but I'm so glad that He took over.
Perfect peace is available to all of us, regardless of our situations. Peace defies circumstances and is as close as the Spirit within us. Let's lean into the Lord today and say yes to His invitation to a lifestyle of stable, miraculous peace.
The Lord is leading all of us to a place of inner stillness that completely contradicts what's happening in the chaos around us. Join me, as I share what He put in my heart for you regarding a new level of peace that was designed to be your lifestyle. I also read two devotions from our book, I Hear His Whisper.

If you want help navigating out of anxiety and back into peace, please check out my soaking sessions, here.
We all go through times when we cannot see, feel, or maybe even remember the truth. In this episode I share something that has helped me in these times. It has been life-changing for me and I pray it will be for you, as well.
Today I share a portion of a prophetic word and also what it means when you see repeated numbers.
The Lord wants you to know that just one GLANCE of your worshiping eyes overwhelms His heart. If you've had trouble finding His presence, or connecting with Jesus the way you once did, I believe today is going to free your heart in a powerful and precious way.
If you need help overcoming anxiety or to have something to bring you peace during sleepless nights, check out my new audio project, BE STILL. You can find it here: BE STILL
We all need encouragement from time to time. Today, I discuss a very simple but helpful tool to help us encourage ourselves when we feel heavy, weary, and oppressed.
NOTE: This episode is especially important to listen to when you're NOT feeling stressed so that you can incorporate this tool right away.
Be blessed! Gretchen
Today, I share with you what the Lord put on my heart as an invitation to you to reconnect, remember, and reprioritize.

Today, I want to encourage your heart. If you've been distracted, distraught, or having difficulty shaking off doubt, fear, and unbelief, this episode is for you.
Today we take a moment to "Be still and know that He is God." Join me today for a short time of prophecy, prayer, and stillness.
In this episode, my special guest, Cindy Helton, and I discuss two other methods of contemplation called branching and breath prayer. It is such a rich discussion, and at the end of the episode, Cindy leads us into a time of encounter. I believe you will be truly blessed.
About Cindy: Cindy L. Helton is host of The Daily Still Podcast - A Place to Pause. The podcast charts in the top 1% of Christian podcasts and is heard throughout the world.

The Word of God is a doorway that leads to encounter, and you have been invited to step through it so that it becomes alive to you in ways you didn't know possible. If reading the Bible has become boring, mundane, and religious, or if you want to experience the Living Word in a fresh way, this episode is for you.
Lectio Divina is the practice of encountering God through His Word. It is a beautiful and powerful way to experience Jesus as the Living Word. Henri Nouwen once said, "Silence is the home of the word. Silence gives strength and fruitfulness to the word." Join me today, as I talk about how to use Lectio Divina in our times of contemplation.
This is part 2 in a series on contemplation. Join me today, as my friend Eunice Combrink, and I discuss imaginative contemplation.

I am so excited about this week's guest, Blake Healy. He is currently the director of the Bethel Atlanta School of Supernatural Ministry and is part of the Senior team at Bethel Atlanta. Blake has been able to see both angels and demons from a very young age. Though this gift has had its ups and downs, the message that he carries through it is one of love and intimacy with Jesus.
In today's episode, we discuss one of my favorite encounters that Blake had when Jesus showed him a graveyard of His dreams. It is both beautiful and challenging. I believe you will be greatly blessed.
If you'd like to read more about what Blake has learned through seeing in the spirit, check out his books, “The Veil", “Profound Good”, and "Indestructible."
The Lord has a word of hope for you today. He is coming into every broken place of your heart and doing a miraculous work of healing. He is doing a work of Kintsugi in your life and making you stronger and more beautiful than ever before.

Plus, I'll share a simple but powerful tool to help you quiet your mind so that you can hear from God.
Today, Brian Simmons and I discuss one of my favorite books of the Bible, Song of Songs. Please note that there are audio issues when Brian and I share the mic. The majority of the message has clear sound. I am learning a new program and apologize for the error.
DR. BRIAN SIMMONS is the lead translator of The Passion Translation®. The Passion Translation (TPT) is a heart-level translation that uses Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts to express God's fiery heart of love to this generation, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God's Word. The hope for TPT is to trigger inside every reader an overwhelming response to the truth of the Bible and to reveal the deep mysteries of the Scriptures in the love language of God, the language of the heart. Brian is currently translating the Old Testament. His most recent releases include Genesis: Firstfruits and Isaiah: The Vision.
After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 1971, Brian and his wife, Candice, answered the call of God to leave everything behind and become missionaries to unreached peoples. Taking their three children to the tropical rain forest of Central America, they planted churches for many years with the Paya-Kuna people group. Dr. Simmons established leadership for the churches that Jesus birthed, and, having been trained in linguistics and Bible translation principles, assisted with the translation of the Paya-Kuna New Testament.
After their ministry overseas, Brian and Candice returned to North America, where Brian began to passionately work toward helping people encounter the risen Christ. He and his wife planted numerous ministries, including a dynamic church in New England (U.S.). They also established Passion & Fire Ministries, under which they travel full time as Bible teachers in service of local churches throughout the world.
Brian is the author of numerous books, Bible studies, and devotionals that help readers encounter God's heart and experience a deeper revelation of God as our Bridegroom King, including Throne Room Prayer, The Sacred Journey, Prayers on Fire, The Divine Romance, and The Vision.
Brian and Candice have been married for more than forty-eight years and have three children, six grandchildren, and three precious great-grandchildren. Their passion is to live as loving examples of a spiritual father and mother to this generation.
When Jesus died on the cross, the veil of separation was torn and the invitation to live face-to-face with God was given. However, even though the veil has been removed, we don't always live that way. We aren't consistently enjoying this unobstructed view of Him because, without meaning to, we throw veils between us and the Lord by what we think about. This leads to a wrong perspective of our circumstances, ourselves, and our God.
Join me today, as I share the importance of perspective, the power of our thoughts, and how to disengage with the pressure we so often place on ourselves.
Have you ever wanted to give God your pain but if you're honest, you don't fully believe that He cares about it as much as you do? Maybe He doesn't love the person who you're worried about, as much as you do. Maybe your doubt and fear have pushed Him away. Maybe He doesn't really care about what you're going through. These were some of my thoughts when I was going through a traumatic experience.
One thing I’ve learned is that God wants to process our tough emotions with us. He isn't afraid of our humanity. Join me in this episode, as I share the powerful encounter I had with Jesus where He answered those questions. I will never again wonder if He cares, and I pray you will walk away from this episode feeling the same way.
