In this episode of the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole answers the profound listener question:
“What’s one of the most effective methods you’ve personally found to cultivate your integrity?”

Nicole redefines integrity as spiritual alignment, where our thoughts, emotions, and actions match our belief in Christ. She walks listeners through a 3-part daily rhythm rooted in Scripture and real-life experience: daily praise, daily noticing, and daily confession. This soul-training practice helps listeners learn to live more fully into God’s peace, wisdom, and joy—even in the everyday chaos of life.

If you’re longing for a life where what you believe matches how you live, this episode is your roadmap.

Main Takeaways


Integrity means inner alignment: It’s not just about moral perfection—it’s about connecting your heart, mind, and actions to God’s purposes.


It’s a daily journey, not a one-time decision: We don’t just say “yes” to Jesus once—we say it again and again as we walk with Him each day.

Nicole’s 3-Step Practice to Cultivate Integrity:


Daily Rhythm of Praise – Begin each day acknowledging God’s goodness and aligning your heart with His will.


Daily Noticing – Pay attention to moments of anxiety, anger, and apathy—they often reveal areas where God wants to work.


Daily Confession – End the day in honesty and grace. Confess missteps and receive the cleansing God promises in 1 John 1:9.

 


God’s Mercy is New Every Morning: Confession isn’t about guilt; it’s about freedom and renewal.


You don’t have to feel it to start: Spiritual disciplines begin as choices—and your emotions will often follow your habits.
