What’s holding you in this season of your life? In this fall edition of What’s Holding Me, I’m sharing a seasonal reflection on the ordinary things, relationships, rhythms, and spiritual practices bringing steadiness and life right now. It’s an invitation to slow down, pay attention to what is sustaining you, and notice the small things helping you live faithfully in the middle of your actual life.

We’re all counting something—deadlines, notifications, conversations, worries. But what if the way we spend our attention is shaping what we’re able to see? In this episode, we explore a surprising psychology experiment, the story of Bartimaeus, and the ancient practice of noticing God’s invitations in ordinary life.

Why does hope sometimes feel so difficult?

If you’ve ever found yourself afraid to get your hopes up, managing expectations, or waiting for disappointment, you’re not alone.

In this episode, we explore fear, hope, spiritual formation, and the surprising ways God meets us beneath our self-protection.
