Write to Listen | Creating Space While Your Story Is Still Unfolding

Part 3 of Wholehearted Rhythms for 2026

Writing doesn’t have to be productive or even preserved to be meaningful.

In this episode of The Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast, Amy Wicks reframes writing not as a habit to keep up with, but as a wholehearted rhythm of listening, a way to make space for honesty, gratitude, and discernment while your story is still unfolding.

Drawing from her own practice of keeping both a gratitude journal and a “How long, O Lord?” journal, Amy explores why recording our prayers, questions, and thanksgivings over time helps form wisdom, not by rushing clarity, but by tracing your story.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why writing is less about processing and more about listening
• How gratitude and lament can belong together on the page
• The benefits of keeping a record, not to preserve everything, but to notice patterns
• How writing creates space for wisdom to form over time
• A simple, gentle practice for engaging writing as a sustainable rhythm

This conversation is part of the Rhythms for 2026 mini-series, designed to help you stay grounded in God’s presence through worship, writing, and wisdom, especially when life feels unclear.

✨ Writing creates memory. And memory is where wisdom begins to form.
