Quiet Time Conversations Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:47:54 -0500 https://quiettimeconversations.buzzsprout.com en-us © 2026 Quiet Time Conversations yes c6259952-0ca7-583e-ba09-b635f9a5d787 kallencj@gmail.com Karen A. episodic false Welcome to Quiet Time Conversations —a quiet corner of the week where I share what Jesus is teaching me during my personal time with Him. These are the real, everyday lessons whispered in the stillness—truths that meet us in the mess, the mundane, and the miraculous.


My heart is for practical discipleship so as I learn what takes me into a deeper relationship with Jesus, I pass them on to you.


Each episode is a simple reflection—just me, sharing my heart and the wisdom God gives as I open His Word and sit at His feet. No frills, no perfection—just faith in real life. 


If you’re hungry for encouragement, truth, and a deeper walk with Jesus, this space is for you.


Let’s journey together—one quiet moment at a time.

Disclaimer:  We all have a purpose in the Kingdom of God.  God has taught me to fight this way because of my purpose and my circumstance, where I live and the time in which I live.  I don't mean to imply that this is how everyone everywhere should or should not fight.  This simply applies to my walk here in the USA.

What Do I Do About Someone Else's Sin? We're Christians, right?  We sin, right?  But someone else's sin is bigger or more serious than mine.  And it's my job to point that out, right?  Or, don't point it out and just love them?  How do I handle that?  What did Jesus do?  This morning Jesus and I talked about how I can best help someone I love who is in sin.  This may ruffle some feathers because it ruffled mine.  But remember, this is just the conversation I had with God and my husband this morning.  

Christian brother/sister disclaimer:  We are all in different places.  Some are babes.  Some are wiser.  And we can be babes and wise, just in different areas.  A wise Christian will recognize that someone more milky is sharing and be patient with where they are.  A more milky Christian needs to understand that not everything everyone shares is necessarily for them or necessarily correct.  It is best to make Jesus your shepherd and spend time with Him every day so He can teach you.  (This is what I do.)  ❤️  Love you!
