During the podcast, Ken emphasized a key point from his book Life in the Presence of God: that everything matters. In other words, wherever we are, whatever we’re doing, with the working of the Holy Spirit in us and a measure of intentionality and training on our part, we can become more aware of God’s presence and voice. This can occur whether we’re gazing up at the stars or plodding through the most mundane or difficult parts of daily life.
