In this emotional and faith-filled episode of Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation, Shannon shares how physical sickness and exhaustion almost kept her from attending J Fest—but God had something waiting for her there.
After a week of feeling weak, discouraged, and spiritually distant, Shannon opens up about how God began speaking again through worship, children praising freely, and a divine moment of obedience involving a woman named Haley. All day long, Shannon felt God nudging her to pray over Haley and kept sensing children’s ministry in her spirit. Then, during a powerful worship moment, God gave Shannon a word: “Tell her what she is praying for is coming.” Haley broke down in tears and revealed she and her husband had been praying for a baby.
This episode explores spiritual sensitivity, obedience, hearing the voice of God again, and how God often speaks through weakness, worship, and surrender. If you’ve been spiritually exhausted, emotionally numb, or questioning whether God still speaks, this episode is for you.

ENCOURAGEMENT
To the person listening who feels spiritually numb…
God has not forgotten you.
And just because you haven’t heard Him clearly lately does not mean He stopped speaking.
Sometimes exhaustion clouds our hearing.
Sometimes pain distracts us.
Sometimes life gets loud.
But God still speaks.
And maybe your breakthrough is hiding in the place you almost didn’t go.
Maybe your awakening begins with simply showing up.
Father…
Thank You for meeting us in weakness.
Thank You for reminding us that You still speak.
Lord, awaken our spirits again.
Help us become sensitive to Your voice.
Help us obey even when we’re nervous.
Help us trust even when we don’t understand.
And Father, I pray for every listener carrying exhaustion, sickness, heaviness, or spiritual numbness.
Meet them the way You met me today.
Restore wonder.
Restore worship.
Restore sensitivity to Your Spirit.
And Lord, thank You for divine moments.
The ones we almost missed.
The ones heaven already prepared.
In Jesus’ name…
Amen.
