What does it mean to truly listen for God in the middle of real life?
In this third episode of our joint series between Eden Church and Uncommon City, Meiko and Caleb sit down with Kristin Dixon—hospitality lead at Eden—for an unhurried, vulnerable conversation about listening as prayer. Together, they explore how attentiveness to God is shaped not by perfection, but by presence.
Kristin shares what it’s been like to rediscover prayer as a new mom—where diapers and dishes become sacred space, and the cry of her child becomes a monastic bell. With honesty and grace, she reflects on learning to make space for silence, offering her thoughts on liturgy, trust, boredom, and the surprising places God speaks.
In this episode:
What it looks like to listen for God with a tired body and a full house
The grace of pre-written prayers and the Jesus Prayer
Silence as both intimacy and invitation
Domestic life as a monastery
When God feels silent—and how trust still leads us back to Him
If you’ve ever wondered whether God is still speaking—or if you’re still enough to hear—this episode is for you.
