6 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsWhat does it mean to hope? What does it mean to hunger? How do we latch on to childlikeness and wonder in a world inundated with so much suffering? I am still learning. My desire is to share my journey of self discovery here. This is a safe space to ponder the universe. Both its beauty and its brutality. What makes us who we are, and how do our life experiences shape and mold our worldview? And where is God in all of it?

Wonderology Ep. 06
April 21, 2021 14:42 - 31 minutes - 43.2 MBJesus told his disciples that in order to inherit the kingdom of God, they must become like children again. What did you love to do as a child? Do you have any creative outlets or areas of your life specifically dedicated to fun? On today’s episode, I speak on the importance of our imagination, pursuing creativity, and ways I have used play to battle burn out. Wonder is reserved for those with a willingness to regain a childlike naiveté. When is the last time you let your imagination take yo...
Wonderology Ep. 05
April 21, 2021 14:35 - 38 minutes - 53.7 MBThe secret place has many names. Some people call it their quiet time or devotional time. It is the time we set aside to meet individually with the Lord, and grow in relationship with Him. Where we get to have intimacy with the King of every king, and seek out connection and understanding. It is a place for intentionality, honesty, understanding, and stewardship. On todays’s episode, I share my approach to spending quality time with the Lord, so you can get the most out of your own secret pl...
Wonderology Ep. 04
April 21, 2021 14:31 - 37 minutes - 52.4 MBOn today’s episode, I speak about the origins of my inner critic and breakdown how critique found its way into my everyday life. From internalizing abusive language I heard growing up as a child, to the constant critique coming from those closest to me, I believed, from a very young age, that harsh internal critique was not only okay, but would help keep me “safe” in some ways. Praise God, He carried me out of that place. I share a powerful encounter with Lord speaking kindness and grace ove...

On this episode, I talk about my experience praying for a miraculous healing, and processing heartbreak when healing didn’t come. As well as working in the inpatient hospital setting, and seeing the wonder of our natural healing process. I share my journey into praying for supernatural healing, and watching the miraculous happen right before my very eyes. Holy Spirit is still healing people in ...
Wonderology Ep. 02
April 21, 2021 14:07 - 40 minutes - 56 MBOn this episode, I share my three most power encounters with the Lord, so far. I process through the death of a parent as a teenager, and the first time I experienced the Lord in a way that marked me for the rest of my life. I walk through the unmet expectations of a “successful” career, and how the Lord met me there. Learning to let go of unhealthy coping mechanisms, processing failure, and making a decision for healthy lifestyle change. A change that led me to the place I now call home. Th...
Wonderology Ep. 01
April 15, 2021 01:44 - 40 minutes - 56.3 MBHi there! I'm Nicole. I figure the best place to start this podcast is with an introduction to my own story. I share some family history, my journey through college, the beginning of my career as a nurse, making the transition to travel nursing, along with my eventual settling in northern California. Just wanting to provide a little context for my perspective of the world, and the lenses I grew up seeing the Lord through. So take a listen, and get to know me!
