Unfiltered and Faithful with Shirene

🎙️ Seed 2: How the Holy Spirit Can Become Your Lifeline
(Why You Might Not Hear Him)

Have you ever wondered if God is even speaking to you? Maybe you’ve prayed, waited, and hoped—only to feel silence. In this raw and real episode of Unfiltered and Faithful, Shirene opens up about the seasons of doubt, heartbreak, and survival that led her to discover the Holy Spirit not as a distant idea, but as her lifeline.

She shares her personal journey—from growing up Catholic and experiencing deep family wounds, to chasing love in the wrong places, walking through single motherhood, and eventually being filled with the Holy Spirit in the most unexpected of ways. This episode explores why we sometimes don’t hear God, what blocks us from recognizing His voice, and how simple surrender changed everything.

🌟 Whether you’re new to faith, weary in waiting, or wondering if the Holy Spirit is really for you—this seed is for the hungry heart.

🕊️ Main Truth:
The Holy Spirit is for everyone—not the perfect, but the willing.

💬 Topics in this episode include:

• Why you might not be hearing God’s voice (and how to tune in)

• Real-life ways the Holy Spirit speaks in everyday moments

• How to draw near and invite the Holy Spirit in

• Encouragement and a salvation prayer just for you

✨ “You’re not broken or disqualified—you’re learning how to listen.”
He’s speaking. He’s near. And this might be the moment everything changes for you too.

💭 Reflection Questions

1. Have I believed the lie that the Holy Spirit is only for “spiritual” people or those who have it all together?
   What truth from this episode challenged that belief?

2. What “noise” in my life might be keeping me from hearing God clearly?
   (Distractions, doubts, busyness, fear—what needs to be turned down?)

3. Can I think of a time when God might have been speaking to me—but I missed it or didn’t recognize it?
   What would I do differently now?

4. Have I been trying to manufacture a spiritual moment instead of making space for God's presence?
   What would it look like to simply be still and invite the Holy Spirit in?

5. Is there something God already asked me to do that I’ve been hesitant to obey?
   What’s one step of obedience I can take today?

6. Do I truly believe the Holy Spirit wants to speak to me—personally, right where I am?
   Why or why not?

7. What is one way I can practice listening for the Holy Spirit this week?
   (Scripture, silence, journaling, worship, godly counsel?)
