How to Enjoy Your Time With God with Cara Ray

How to Enjoy Your Time With God with Cara Ray26 May31 min

What if time with God felt less like a task to complete and more like a place of rest? In this conversation, Cara Ray invites us into the practice of "holy leisure"—a way of relating to God marked by delight, attentiveness, and peace rather than pressure and performance. Drawing on the themes of truth, goodness, and beauty, she shares how shifting our mindset can transform our spiritual rhythms and help us experience deeper joy in God's presence.

Cara also introduces her simple DWELL framework for engaging Scripture and offers a vision of fruitfulness that isn't driven by productivity, but by abiding in Christ. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, busy, or burdened, this episode will encourage you to rediscover time with God as a gift—not a checkbox.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What "holy leisure" means and why it matters

How to move from duty to delight in your time with God

A simple framework for slowing down and savoring Scripture

How meditation fits into a vibrant spiritual life

The difference between a productive life and a fruitful one
