Change is messy, confusing, and honestly… kind of scary. In this episode of Christ In Me with Addie, we're talking about why it's so tempting to look back—like Lot's wife—and how God calls us to move forward, even when it feels like our life is spiraling. With wisdom from Levi Lusko's Blessed Are the Spiraling, we'll break down why growth feels chaotic and how it might actually be holy. If you've ever felt stuck between who you were and who you're becoming, this one's for you. You're not alone—God might be calling you into something greater.Blessed Are the Spiraling by Levi Lusko: https://amzn.to/4mtgqzpGrab a copy of Addie's cookbook!https://addieoverla.gumroad.com/l/cookbookAddie's Socials    YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@addieoverla?si=b9BzpzS9J9HrLiK5 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@addieoverla Instagram https://www.instagram.com/addieoverla/ LINKS Elevated Faith Apparel https://bit.ly/3xjVBvF  LikeToKnowIthttps://www.shopltk.com/explore/addiewoostAmazon Storefronthttps://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-649a9b8a?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfinfluencer-649a9b8a_4C3D57EYC99TN49DVP21Support the show

This episode is part of our special Mental Health Awareness Month series on Cultural Catalysts. All month long, we're having honest, hope-filled conversations about the hidden battles so many people face, like anxiety, grief, burnout, and the journey toward healing. Our goal is to equip you with tools, truth, and encouragement to walk in greater freedom and wholeness. On this episode of Cultural Catalysts, Kris sits down with Pastor Levi Lusko for a powerful conversation about mental health, grief, and finding purpose in pain. Levi vulnerably shares his journey through the devastating loss of his 5-year-old daughter and a later battle with debilitating panic attacks at age 38. Together, they explore practical wisdom from his book Blessed Are The Spiraling and discuss how to recognize warning signs before a breakdown. Levi offers profound insights on building healthy rhythms, embracing the different seasons of life, and transforming ambition as we mature. Whether someone is currently spiraling or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope that even the darkest moments can become doorways to deeper connection with God and a life of lasting significance. Tune in to discover how we can spiral upward instead of downward.

Levi Lusko knows what it's like to spiral, and he knows how disorienting transition and change can be to a person - emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. After a mid-life crisis that started a cycle of questioning his purpose, peace, and future, Levi realized that he was actually in a perfect position for God to lead him into greater faith. In this episode, we laugh, we go deep, and we unpack Scripture to help us biblically deal with anxiety, pause in Jesus' presence when life is chaotic, handle transitions and seasons you don't want to be in, and so much more.

In his second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Levi Lusko opens up about spiraling—not just in the chaotic, crashing sense we all fear, but in a way that ultimately leads upward. With raw vulnerability, Levi shares how hitting a wall at age 38 forced him to confront years of unrelenting output, anxiety, and grief. He talks candidly about panic attacks, feeling lost even amid success, and the spiritual awakening that came from slowing down. Drawing from his new book Blessed Are the Spiraling, Levi explains how embracing change, honoring limits, and reconnecting with beauty—especially in nature—can lead to deep, lasting joy. Ginny and Levi explore the hidden cost of comparison, the power of contentment, and the importance of preparing not just for the next season of life, but for the end of it. They discuss everything from Warren Buffett to C.S. Lewis to the wisdom of ants, and highlight the vital role relationships play in healing and wholeness. This conversation is a tender reminder that you are not alone in your chaos—and that even in the middle of the spiral, there's a path toward peace. ** Get your copy of Blessed are the Spiraling here Learn about the Movement Conference here Spend 20 minutes to write up a free will here Learn more about your ad choices.
