What Are You Devoted To? How Midlife Women Find Deeper Purpose and Spiritual Growth with Dr. Judith
In this episode, Dr. Judith explores how soul progress accelerates when our deepest desires mature into devotion—moving from many wants, to discernment, to concentration, and finally to living as though what matters truly matters. Using the biblical story of Martha and Mary, she explains how devotion creates an inner center that reduces fragmentation and builds spiritual momentum through repeated God-centered choices. She contrasts devotion with attachment, showing how devotion transforms relationships, prayer, and daily decisions by developing the inner instrument—character, discernment, courage, and love. Through examples of Denise (achievement and proving) and Claire (caregiving and returning to Source), she invites viewers to examine unconscious devotions, shift from protection to expression, and ask what their time, attention, and energy reveal about what they truly serve.
