In this episode of What’s God Got To Do With It?, Leanne is joined by best-selling author and slow-living advocate Stephanie O’Dea for an inspiring conversation about faith, authenticity, and cultivating a life of purpose in a hustle-driven world. Stephanie shares a deeply personal story about how being told she was “going to hell” for her inclusive beliefs left her hesitant to express her faith publicly. This encounter not only shaped her approach to spirituality but also inspired her to embrace a more intentional, authentic way of living. Leanne and Stephanie dive into what it means to practice slow living—finding fulfillment and connection by stepping away from the pressure to hustle and embracing a more thoughtful, faith-centered approach to everyday life. They discuss how to create space for meaningful spiritual exploration without labels or rigid expectations, and how to build a relationship with God that reflects your own unique journey. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life or uncertain about how to express your faith authentically, this episode will encourage you to slow down, listen, and find your own way. Tune in to hear how you can cultivate a life of purpose, grace, and connection—even in a world that’s constantly telling you to do more and be more.
