Episode 144: Amy James - Intimacy with God, inner healing, and discovering creativity
In this episode, Lauren interviews Amy James, a creative, faith-filled woman from Illinois who wears many hats. Alongside her husband, Amy hosts guests through their Airbnb, extending warmth and hospitality as a reflection of God’s heart. As a Sozo inner healing leader, she helps others experience freedom and restoration through intimacy with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
When she’s not leading or mentoring, you’ll often find Amy painting, exploring her creative side, and discovering the “more” of God — the deeper, ever-unfolding mystery of His presence and love. This conversation dives into what intimacy with God really looks like, how creativity connects to healing, and what it means to live a life led by His voice in everyday moments.
