In this overflow episode, we stay with the theme of childlikeness and why Jesus chose Children to lead us back to Him, but we go a little more personal. Nikki shares her own journey of embracing childlike joy and vulnerability with God, and what it’s looked like to believe she’s not “too much” or embarrassing to Him.

We talk about how childlike joy, playfulness, and emotional honesty can actually deepen your relationship with God, not weaken it. This is a shorter, heart-level conversation meant to help you loosen your grip, feel safer with God, and start bringing Him your real needs and desires.

In this episode, we talk about:

- Childlike joy and playfulness in your faith
- Why emotional safety and vulnerability matter for spiritual growth
- The importance of giving children (and your younger self) a voice
- Practical steps to start asking God for small, specific things
- How God meets us when we’re raw, real, and unpolished in prayer

You’ll hear lines like:

- “I’m not embarrassing to God.”
- “God met me when I was raw and vulnerable.”
- “Your heart’s desires matter to the Father.”

Our hope is that this overflow encourages you to be a little more honest, a little more childlike, and a little more open with God this week. Being vulnerable with Him is not failure; it’s trust. Even asking for small things can build a deeper, safer connection with Him and open the door to healing.

With Love,

Hope & Nikki
