5-8 "I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up an... more

Wow, I can’t say enough how much these Lectio Devinas have blessed me. There are not many resources out there that usher in actually sitting and connecting with God (vs. talking about him or talking about the Word, which are also wonderful things), but that is exactly what this podcast does and I’m having trouble explaining how priceless of a gift these moments have been to me. So I’ll just leave it at that - sitting in His presence is a priceless treasure, and I’m beyond blessed to have a conve... more
The peacefulness and kindness in her voice along with the power of the scriptures and delicate music keeps me coming back again and again to this podcast! I replay former episodes to continue the life giving rhythm of anchoring to the Lord’s presence, His Word of truth daily and it’s made such a difference. I hope more episodes will be made as it’s the best lectio divina I’ve ever experienced. Thank you!
So helpful to have Summer Joy read a scripture and the allow for silence, to let my heart listen for truth.
Beautifully created. This podcast has helped me soak in one passage of scripture at a time. It has helped me slow down in my quiet times with the Lord and be less distracted.
I love listening to this podcast and being able to slow down and hear the word of God! Such an accessible, valued resource.
This podcast is such a gift! It’s perfect for centering myself in the morning before the day starts. But it’s also great anytime of the day! Thanks Summer!
I love sitting with Summer and having the Slow Word be my quiet time. It truly brings my heart to settle at the feet of Jesus and meditate on His Word. Thank you!
Thank you for recording these! It has ministered to me!
Lovely way to reconnect to Scripture and Christ.
This podcast is worth the time to invest 15 minutes to calm your heart, mind, and body, and hear something soecial just for you from the Lord. A true breath of fresh air for the soul.
So grateful for these podcasts from Summer that encourage me to spend time with God.
After a long season of not reading the Bible, I learned about the Slow Word Movement, and watched/listened to a Lectio Divina with Summer on You Tube. I was hooked after one experience and so eager for more! I’m thankful to have this easily accessible format.
Two episodes in and I’m longing for more. This offering is a gift, a graciously slow exhale of the world’s noise and an inhale of beautiful truth. Lectio divina is new to me and I already mourn what I have been missing. Thank you for helping me make space for spoken scripture and, through it, the voice of God.
This podcast is like a warm inviting love seat complete with your favorite throw, your go-to brew and the best company on the planet. Jesus. ❤️ I recommend this podcast to anyone hungry to experience the Loving Father through His Living Word. Short, but rich. Simple and SO refreshing.
I have been following Summer for a while and this is a great way to really dive deep into a scripture passage. Slow down and take a listen to a Slow Word.
