A New Journey: God’s Whisper on Substack
"Listen for the whisper. God’s whisper. Whispers of peace and clarity to calm the mind and ease the soul. Listen. In quiet spaces. In stillness. In imagery. In walking. In words. In breath.
In music. In art. Listen." -Megan Young
I am excited to share with you a new journey I am taking. I have traveled to Substack and created God's Whisper. Read on, and I will fill you in!
God's gentle whisper came to me at 11 or 12 years old. I was in my bedroom on the third floor with pink walls and a ceramic hand that held pastel balloons. It was my sanctuary while living amid an uncertain and chaotic childhood. I longed for peace and clarity.
I grew up attending church; having a strong faith was continually stressed. Hopeful, I turned to God. Wondering if he would hear me, I wrote to God in my journal. To my surprise, he wrote back. Yes, sometimes literally, as in "Dear Megan." Other times, my own words would land on the page, producing revelations and aha moments. The whispers calmed my mind and eased my soul, if only for a moment.
The whispers continue to this day, and I am so grateful. They come to me from various spiritual and everyday practices such as Lectio Divina, guided imagery, breath prayer meditation, nature, etc. I've decided to share my whispers from God by creating a sacred space to listen, reflect, and connect. I am doing this on a platform called Substack, and the name of my publication is God's Whisper.
In each God's Whisper post...
I will share my whispers from God in short reflections.
Invite you into contemplation by providing a question or prompt.
Offer space for connection where you can share your thoughts.
I would like to invite you to God's Whisper on Substack!
To join me in this sacred space, CLICK HERE. You will be prompted to enter your email address so you can receive God's Whisper directly to your inbox. I intended to publish new posts a few times a month.
You may wonder how God's Whisper will differ from The Imperfect Journey and why I am using Substack.
Life experiences inspire my Imperfect Journey posts and include a resource related to healing, growth, and transformation. These posts are a longer form of writing. God's Whisper posts will be shorter reflections arising from my time in prayer.
Substack is an online platform that offers writers an easy and simple way to publish their content and deliver a post/newsletter directly to the readers' inbox. It also allows for more personal engagement and connection between the writer and the reader. Substack offers many topics, ranging from travel to faith and spirituality to culture, just to name a few. Unlike social media platforms, Substack is ad-free (yay) and has no algorithmic filters (double yay)! The best way to learn more about Substack is to check it out and explore!
Thank you for venturing out with me to God's Whisper and Substack. It's always fun (and terrifying) to try something new! I plan on continuing here at The Imperfect Journey as well because I am dedicated to healing, growth, and transformation and sharing inspiration, hope, and resources. If you have any questions about God’s Whisper or Substack or need help signing up, reply to this email.

Dear God,
Thank you for your gentle whispers that offer peace and clarity. As I settle into my spiritual and everyday practices, calm my mind and ease my soul. Open my heart that I may hear you. Grant me the wisdom to share your words with others so that, in community, we can support one another. Amen
