That's Just What I NeededHow Did I Miss That? Finding God in the Everyday Moments with Cynthia Yanof
That's Just What I Needed Podcast
If you’ve ever had a conversation where you’ve walked away thinking, “Wow! That was just what I needed”, you know you felt encouraged, learned a thing…Have you ever had one of those moments when you look back and think, "How did I miss that?"
In this episode, I sit down with author and podcaster Cynthia Yanof for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply spiritual. Through real-life stories — from gas pump mishaps to everyday awkward encounters — Cynthia reminds us that God is often at work in the small, ordinary moments we’re most tempted to rush past.
Together, we talk about slowing down enough to notice the people right in front of us, why laughter can be holy, the power of community, and how reconciliation and friendship shape our faith more than we realize.
This episode is a refreshing reminder that our “big” spiritual moments are often built on tiny daily choices — and that love is always the right answer.
And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!
