In Episode 14, guest Abby Call, Freedom Movement Coach and Facilitator, shares with us her struggle to forgive and how she overcame it.Karrie and Abby discuss how the act of forgiveness carries a lot of weight in the Christian community. If the ultimate goal is just to forgive those who have hurt us, what happens when we can't? The inability to will ourselves to forgive ends up bringing us more shame and feelings of not being faithful enough. Abby reveals a candid look into her journey through Freedom Academy and how old wounds were sometimes messy to deal with. What is it like to sit in anger and rage, and also try to forgive at the same time? Abby shares that Freedom Academy allowed her to put forgiveness in its place. Abby was given the space she needed to walk through the steps of healing and then come to forgiveness as a more authentic release.To learn more about Abby or to schedule a coaching session:https://www.wearefm.org/abbyKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tools for women's health and longevity. Dr. Sarah Daccarett — founder and CEO of Inner Balance — reveals how declining hormones drive over 100 symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep issues, and why properly dosed, full-spectrum HRT can be foundational for preventing heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's. Drawing on her own postpartum and autoimmune struggles, she explains how her product Oestra™ combines estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in optimal ratios for real systemic benefits, not just local effects. This insightful conversation breaks down myths, highlights the disparities between men's and women's hormone care, and shows how accessible, affordable HRT can radically improve energy, mood, and long-term health.The information presented in Fully Alive is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

The Release That HealsWhat does it mean to truly forgive? In Episode 13, Karrie walks us through the act of forgiveness and reveals God's plan for bringing freedom to us through this often  misunderstood step in healing. We learn that forgiveness is not a quick transaction. When we offer forgiveness to others we aren't erasing the wrongs they have done to us. And when others forgive us, the pain we've caused isn't magically forgotten. True forgiveness is part of a longer process of healing. A total heart transformation that comes through the steps of naming, grieving, repenting and finding gratitude, and from that process flows a supernatural forgiveness from within us and re-anchors us to God. It is in the deepening of our relationship with God that we begin to know and feel His love for us and His forgiveness for us, and in turn we become free to forgive others. Karrie explains true forgiveness breaks the ongoing power that an action had over us and brings to light our own sinful acts so that we can now begin to see with a more compassionate perspective. Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Life is tender and messy and miraculous all at once. In this solo episode, Emily invites you into a reflection on the beautiful, brutal art of holding it all—the grief and the gratitude, the darkness and the light, the exhaustion and the quiet magic of simply being alive.Fresh off a transformative retreat and deep in the waves of pregnancy, she opens up about what it means to sit in discomfort without needing to fix it, to honor both the shadows and the blessings, and to find holiness in the wholeness of being human. This is an episode about slowing down enough to feel it all—to remember that life itself is the occasion, not something to earn once everything feels perfect.Emily explores the tension between what's hard and what's holy, sharing personal stories of grief, rage, beauty, and creativity. She reflects on the conditioning that teaches women to smile through pain, the ways we hide behind optimism, and the freedom that comes when we finally allow ourselves to be seen in every shade of our truth.This conversation is an offering—a reminder that your presence, your essence, and your being are enough. You don't have to rush through this season or mask the hard parts. You get to hold the darkness, create the magic, and call it all sacred.In this episode, I explore:The beautiful and brutal truth of being fully alive — learning to hold both joy and grief, light and shadow, beauty and chaos as sacred parts of the human experienceThe power of sitting in discomfort without bypassing it, fixing it, or rushing it, and how this practice deepens emotional intelligence, presence, and embodimentHow pregnancy, physical limitations, and seasons of surrender can become portals for personal growth, compassion, and feminine wisdomThe conditioning that teaches women to “be fine,” to smile through pain, and to disconnect from their truth, and how to reclaim your wholeness by allowing yourself to feel it allThe sacred work of shadow integration and self-trust—how to hold rage, grief, and sadness without shame and see them as gateways to authenticity and powerThe healing energy of sisterhood, nurturance, and creativity, and how gathering in safe, intentional spaces reminds us that we were never meant to do life aloneWhat it means to live from wholeness instead of chasing it—remembering that your worth isn't earned through productivity, perfection, or performanceHow to cultivate intentionality and ritual in everyday life by bringing presence, beauty, and creativity into the small, ordinary momentsWhy living an aligned, soul-led life is both mystical and mundane, and how to honor your humanity as deeply as your divinityA gentle reminder that life itself is the occasion—an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and celebrate the sacredness of being here nowBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 119 | How to Create...

Growing Goodness and Gratitude From Within - with Tanya GodseyKarrie welcomes Freedom Movement Director of Spiritual Formation, writer and artist, Tanya Godsey to continue the discussion of goodness and gratitude. Tanya shares some of her personal journey with grief and how her relationship with God was key to her regaining hope during a time of despair. Tanya explains that we have a choice of how deeply we step into our relationship with God and our commitment to that relationship is the foundation for cultivating goodness and gratitude. Tanya gives practical advice for how to continue to keep goodness growing and a few questions to ask yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed by the world we live in. -Is my time and attention moving further from God? -Am I feeling an unhealthy longing or hyper-vigilance about having more information? -Where am I being too easily tempted to fall into unhealthy patterns?Tanya and Karrie end the episode with two simple things anyone can do to begin building intimacy with God and ultimately bring goodness and gratitude to the heart:Set aside 10 minutes of stillnessIf you had ten minutes with God what would you want to tell him? Befriending God by Tanya Godseyhttps://a.co/d/9bCtj0ZTo learn more about Tanya visit https://tanyagodsey.com/homeTanya's music can be found on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/4h3MTNgpLd9G3Yly2HJtnO?si=eRG3Ka-qQvKQ8X4wId8JmwKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey

Have you ever told your kids to clean up before taking out a new toy, only to be met with protests and resistance? They can't see past the task to the joy that's waiting on the other side. This Sunday, we'll explore how the Israelites faced a similar moment at the Jordan river. God had promised them the land—it was already theirs. But they had to cross the river and step into that reality. When Jesus declared “It is finished” on the cross. He wasn't starting something—He was completing it. Your freedom, your identity, your place as God's chosen—it's all already done. Perfectly. Completely. Ongoing. But here's the question: What Jordan river is God asking you to cross today? Maybe it's forgiveness. Maybe it's breaking free from bondage. Maybe it's stepping into your calling. Or maybe it's simply believing you are who God says you are. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to stop standing on the riverbank and start living in the reality of what Christ has already finished for us. The land is already yours. It's time to get your feet wet. Phill Whatman

Healthspan isn't just built in the gym — it's shaped by the choices you make all day long. Cardiovascular exercise physiologist Dr. Jim Walter shares how his father's early passing drove his mission to help people extend their healthspan through simple, science-backed daily movements. He explains why the “150 minutes per week” guideline often discourages beginners, introduces his “Move More” approach for adding activity into ordinary tasks, and reveals research showing how even 2,000 extra steps or standing breaks can reduce disease risk and improve brain health. This empowering conversation reframes movement as the most accessible medicine for living longer and better.The information presented in Fully Alive is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Goodness and Gratitude “There is something about supernatural gratitude, where you have been met in the depths of your story and your heart, and His love has held you, and someone else's face stayed with you…. It creates something within you that you aren't able to do on your own.” -Karrie GarciaKarrie explores the topic of goodness and gratitude in Episode 11 of the Honest Pod. Do we misuse gratitude when we bypass pain and go straight to the good? Why is gratitude such an integral part of restoring shalom? Karrie reminds us that true gratitude is the fruit of an honest conversation. When our story has been met with love, from God and others, and we are welcomed instead of dismissed, we are more clearly able to see goodness and hope. To help illustrate what this looks like, Karrie shares a personal story of finding goodness during a difficult time. It was though the process of moving through the steps of shalom restored that Karrie was able to look back and find gratitude. Once we are able to move toward gratitude, Karrie reminds us of all the ways we are healed from within. Benefits of GratitudeReleases dopamine and serotoninRegulates nervous systemDecreases symptoms of depression and anxietyBrings contentment Cultivates empathy Creates capacity to forgiveKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

Have you ever told yourself, I will never again show my sadness? Have you ever told yourself, I will never again allow myself to be vulnerable? Our guest this week uncovers the areas that we define as “never again” are also the areas we are invited to “turn around”. The Honest Pod is honored to have Adam Young join us on Episode 10 as he and Karrie continue the discussion of repentance. The Greek definition of repentance is “to change one's mind” or “to turn around and go in another direction”. Adam and Karrie discuss the despair that it often takes for a person to reach a point of “turning around”. They both share instances of being exposed in their own grief and longing which then ultimately led them to repentance. How do we begin the process of repenting once we have acknowledged the grief of our story? Adam suggests first notice your body. Look at those areas where you feel dysregulated during the course of the day. And next, be kind and curious about the events that led to that feeling in your body. What was happening? What was my body reacting to? By starting to engage in those feelings we find the areas that need attention and eventually repentance. This redirection can feel really risky and unsettling, but Adam reminds us that the gift of repentance is that we get to rest in God by becoming more of who we were meant to be, and we begin to let go of the “never again” we were bound to. Make Sense of Your Story by Adam Younghttps://a.co/d/5Z2g2EvTo learn more about Adam Young visit:https://adamyoungcounseling.comKarrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

How do we take the next step towards true freedom after we have named the pain of our story and experienced the depths of grief? This week on the Honest Pod, Karrie shares the beauty of repentance; an invitation back to the Father's arms. What is repentance? How does it bring healing? And how does repentance fit into our story when harm has been done to us? Episode 9 is Part 1 of exploring the questions that sometimes keep us stuck in associating repentance with shame and punishment. Karrie reminds us that repentance is actually an acknowledgement of the areas we have been lead astray by sin done to us or sin we have done to others, and a returning to the hope of what God has in store for us. Reflection Question:What are the places in your life where pain or past harm has shaped behaviors that no longer serve you? Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

In Episode 8, Karrie invites Dr. Christy Bauman onto The Honest Pod to continue the topic of grief and talk in depth about what it actually looks like to experience grief with ourselves, God and others. Christy explains that when the feeling of grief arises within ourselves it is a gift to be able to release that pain through tears. The tears allow grief to move out of our bodies and she touches upon the physiological effects of grief on the body. Christy also shares that grief in connection with God can be complex and deeply personal. She candidly shares that her grief has often emerged as anger and rage for the pain that death brings, and that by bringing her grief and anger to God, she has been able to draw closer to Him. Lastly Karrie, asks the question of what it looks like to connect grief to community. Our culture has had such a shift around the ways we grieve as a community, that we need more examples of what it looks like when we engage in communal grief. Christy shares a story of grief in connection with community and explains that when we bring our bodies together it gives one permission to release a deep grief from within and have it witnessed. This witnessing allows our wails to be heard, our grief to be known and our souls to heal. You can learn more about Dr. Christy Bauman and the work she does here: https://christybauman.comInstagram: @christybaumanA Brave Lament Bookhttps://a.co/d/hWcjHtsA Brave Lament Filmhttps://andrewjbauman.com/a-brave-lament/Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

Elizabeth draws on ancient wisdom, modern insight, and her own experience living in intentional community to offer a hopeful path forward.Memorable Quotes“You need to put your roots down deep into love and work out how to find some steadiness.”“When we are honest about our full humanity, we give other people permission to do that, and that's a necessary starting point for actually growing up our souls rather than pretending that we all know what we're doing and we're holding it all together.”“Where we put our attention is essentially who we become.”“I have this sense that fully aliveness is in connection, deep connection, horizontally and vertically.”“Hurrying and destruction are not how we flourish, and we're constantly being encouraged to do those things. So we need to provide some counter pressure towards slowness and steadiness and presence.”Key TakeawaysConnection Is the Core of Flourishing. Relationships—messy, costly, inconvenient—are where we become more fully human.Attention Shapes Who You Become. Distraction isn't just a nuisance; it's a soul-shaping force. Guard your focus.Structure Time Around Your Values. A “rule of life” puts what matters most in place first, so the rest fits around it.Commitment Fuels Depth. Vulnerability without commitment fizzles; together they form lasting community.Ancient Practices Still Work. Sabbath, liturgy, and shared rhythms anchor us in what endures.ResourcesFully Alive by Elizabeth OldfieldThe Sacred podcast by Elizabeth OldfieldWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/-anckhHSdHMThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

In this week's podcast session, Karrie discusses the second step of healing which often comes after we have brought our story to light. It is a period of grieving. There is no unspoken timeline when grief needs to be resolved. We are always grieving. Grief is a part of our everyday life. But when we grieve in a God given way it moves us through the trauma and hurt, and it allows for us embrace peace because we are not eradicating parts of us. Common misconceptions about grief are:If I start grieving I will drownGrief is weaknessI need to stop being sadThere is a timeline on griefKarrie walks us through how we can find comfort in the grieving process and how we can share our grief with God and within safe places. Grieving inevitably happens when we are alone, but the fullness of healing comes when grief is communal. Reflection Question:What grief have you been holding back? Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

What if aging isn't inevitable, but a process we can slow—or even reverse? In this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews, geneticist and founder of Sierra Sciences, unpacks the science of telomeres, the protective caps on our chromosomes that shorten as cells divide. He explains how telomerase, an enzyme he helped discover, can lengthen telomeres and restore youthful cellular function, challenging long-held assumptions about aging and cancer. Dr. Andrews shares his journey from early scientific breakthroughs to today's cutting-edge gene therapy and nutraceutical research, highlighting his belief that cures for aging could be within reach with sufficient funding. From practical lifestyle tips to his personal ultra-marathon routine, this conversation blends groundbreaking science with everyday strategies for living longer, healthier lives.The information presented in Fully Alive is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In Episode 5, Karrie named the first step to healing involves connection with our own story. This week, Karrie is joined by Cathy Loerzel, one of the co-founders of the Allender Center, as well as an author, speaker, and story work coach, to continue the discussion of using story work as a tool for healing and how reconnecting to our story can lead us back to our true self . When do we know we need to look at places in our stories? When behaviors and patterns keep arising that prevent us from being who God wanted us to be. Why can't we just know something happened? Why do we need to go through a story at a granular level? Cathy explains that when trauma becomes embedded, we sometimes need to feel it again with an empathetic witness in order to process out what has been stored in the body. Kathy and Karrie share more about the consequences of stored trauma and how maladaptive behavior is created.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Elise Loehnen, New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior, to unpack what it really means to break free from the pressure to be “good” and start living from a place of wholeness. Together, they explore how generational and cultural conditioning shapes women's roles, the emotional cost of over functioning, and how to rewrite the stories we've been taught to live by. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the invisible scripts running your life and invites you to stop performing, start feeling, and come home to yourself. What we cover:

The First Step to HealingFrom the day we are born, we were created to be connected to God and to others throughout our lives. So of course it's no surprise that the first step to healing involves connection! In Episode 5, Karrie shares a recent story as an example of how patterns often resurface, even at the most unexpected times. Like the day Karrie found herself on a bench with two friends wondering if she would be able to overcome a narrative that had been deeply embedded in her own story. In her fear of being exposed or vulnerable, Karrie felt her body begin to panic and she was uncertain about how to move forward. The moments that follow reveal what it looks like when connection and healing intertwine..Karrie reminds us that we cannot avoid pain but we can live with peace through pain. The many patterns we struggle with in our lives, whether they be shaped by fear, anger, or shame, can be traced back to the particularities of our stories and through sharing those stories we begin to find shalom. Here are some actions to move toward healing in connection:: -Invite others in. -Share our stories.-Name the particularities of our stories.-Repeat the process. Reflection:What pattern have you experienced that is not serving you well? Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

When Your Body Tells A Story You Can't Ignore With Tori Hein“No matter what I achieved it never felt like I was doing enough.” Our first Honest Pod guest, Tori Hein, Director of Strategy and Marketing for Freedom Movement, shares her honest journey with being stuck in the cycle of doing more. Tori reflects over the past five years how walking through painful parts of her story with God has brought tremendous self-awareness and has allowed her to bridge the disconnect between her external self that she allowed people to see and her internal self who was feeling exhausted and deeply in need of connection. Behind the need for “doing more” was a wound that was revealed during her own story work through Freedom Academy. What transpired shook Tori to her core and moved her forward in healing the narrative that was held over her. Weekly Reflection:Where is your body naming a lack of peace?What are the narratives you need to break?Karrie is honored to have Tori on as a guest and will regularly be inviting Tori and other Freedom Movement staff onto The Honest Pod to share their stories and experiences.

What You Can't Remember, Still Remembers YouHave you ever had one of those HUGE reactions to a small event and wondered where it came from? In Episode 3, Karrie reflects on a story from childhood that was embedded deeply in her memory. So much so that one evening a silly event with her son and husband engages her implicit memory and she shares her very honest reaction. What is implicit memory and explicit memory? How does our body use them to recall past experiences? How does story work use them to heal? How did Jesus use them to heal? Karrie dives in and gives us an overview of the two types of memory and the steps to integrating both. She also gives examples of Jesus engaging in the stories of people which lead to healing that encompasses not just one part of a person, but the mind, body and spirit together. Reflection Questions for the Week:Is there a part of your story you have dismissed because you can't remember part of it. Where might your body be holding a memory your mind doesn't have words for?How can you invite God into some of those places?Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-upshttps://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagementshttps://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

Send us a textWhat happens when the world's wisest, wealthiest man concludes that everything is meaningless? In this profound exploration of Ecclesiastes chapter 4, we journey through Solomon's devastating despair to discover the surprising solution he stumbles upon.Solomon—gifted with extraordinary intelligence by God—reached the pinnacle of success yet found himself utterly alone amidst his achievements. His words echo with disappointment and desperation as he declares "meaningless, meaningless, all is meaningless." But within this bleak assessment lies a powerful revelation about human connection and spiritual purpose.The sermon unpacks Solomon's startling observation that "the dead who had already died are happier than the living who are still alive," revealing the existence of "walking dead"—those physically alive but spiritually asleep, going through life's motions without making ripples in the waters around them. Yet amidst this darkness, Solomon discovers a profound truth: "Two are better than one... and a cord of three strands is not easily broken."This timeless wisdom applies directly to our modern struggles. When we lose sight of Christ's promised return, we risk falling into the same despair that plagued Solomon. Our Christian community serves as both support system and motivation—helping us up when we fall and inspiring us to live authentically for Christ every day, not just Sunday mornings.The sermon culminates with a challenging question: What legacy are you writing on the pages of your life? Will future generations read stories of devoted service to Jesus, or of someone who merely chased worldly gain? Unlike Solomon in his darkest moments, we don't have to face life alone—we have both the Holy Spirit within us and a community of believers around us.What will your final words be? Share this message with someone who needs to hear that their life has profound meaning when connected to Christ and His people.

Karrie is back with a new season of The Honest Pod and she reflects on how much the podcast has been an integral part of the greater mission of Freedom Movement. Karrie leads Freedom Movement organization and its mission to create safe places that foster healing, hope, and the courage to love who God created you to be. Karrie started the nonprofit in 2014 with the understanding that every single one of us is broken and has wounds, many of which are not often addressed within traditional church environments. She saw firsthand that God's true redemptive purpose for our lives does not begin once we're free from pain, rather it stems directly out of that pain.This season of the Honest Pod will have an emphasis on moving from the places that are shattered or stuck in your story to restoration. Some questions that will be reflected on in the upcoming episodes: -What do we do with the pain in our stories? -Why are we still stuck?  -What areas of my story do I still need to dive into? -How do we move forward from those places? Karrie begins with the story of Hagar and the pain surrounding Hagar's story. God meets Hagar in her darkest moment and asks her two deeply honest questions. God reveals to us healing begins with honesty and curiosity. By answering those questions, Hagar can step into who God created her to be. Karrie's work within Freedom Movement helps connect people to their stories and reach into difficult questions. God is always at the center of story work. Only God ultimately brings transformation and peace but there are things we can do to partner with God on our healing journey. Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings:https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie
