On Day 6, we reach the pivotal emotional arc of Surrender. Surrender is often misunderstood as giving up, but in the world of mindfulness, it is the ultimate power move.

Bible Verses About Surrender and Divine Provision: www.curlynikki.comSupport the show: http://patreon.com/goodmornings

As we journey toward Heaven, God, in His kindness, continually reveals who He is and invites us to experience His presence more intimately. Today's storyteller, Sarah Waller from our Homewood, Alabama community, reminds us that in life's hardest moments, surrendering to God opens our eyes to His faithful nearness.   Sarah shares how the Lord gently revealed His Kingship to her in her twenties and the sustaining power of the Holy Spirit in her thirties—showing up in both the big moments and the quiet, everyday ones. These revelations, however, were forged through deep suffering: first, the loss of her mother to cancer, and later, the trial of undergoing an intense brain surgery.   Through every loss and uncertainty, God tenderly called Sarah to rest in this truth—that she is a daughter of the King, fully seen, deeply known, and unconditionally loved.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: What is God teaching you in this season of your life? Reflect on how He is showing you His faithfulness. _______________________________________________________________   Listen to a similar story: Ep. 254- Toma Knight: "Living in Light of Eternity"   Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!    Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Sarah and any of our past storytellers!   Join us "In the Room" on Patreon to access new stories straight from our live gatherings around the country!   Register here for our Finding God in the Details workshop being offered online on April 21st.   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series~ Stories of Hope, Stories of Freedom, Stories of Faith Are you interested in one-on-one coaching with our very own Robyn Kown!?  Click HERE!   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website.

Not many people have something in their life that they would die for. In a relationship with Jesus Christ He desires a commitment from us that we give our whole lives to Him. The Bible teaches that we are to be a living sacrifice to God, living and doing all things for Him.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" — 2 Corinthians 5:17 In today's episode, Jenny sits down with her friend Jason Butler for the first half of a powerful two-day conversation. Jason is a pastor, counselor, podcaster, and author—but before any of that, he was a highly successful businessman who appeared to have it all together. From the outside, his life looked impressive. Success, achievement, recognition. But behind closed doors, Jason was fighting private battles and wrestling with a deep emptiness he couldn't explain. No amount of accomplishment could quiet the longing in his heart for something more. In this episode, Jason opens up about what it was like to live as what he calls a "cultural Christian"—knowing about Jesus, but not truly knowing Him. He shares how the tension between outward success and inward brokenness eventually brought him to a moment of surrender that changed everything. This is an honest, hope-filled conversation about identity, striving, and the turning point that happens when Jesus becomes real. Be sure to come back for Part 2, where Jason shares what happened after that surrender—and how it impacted not only his life, but the generations that followed.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" — 2 Corinthians 5:17 In Part 2 of Jenny's conversation with Jason Butler, they recap and we pick up right where we left off—at the moment everything changed. After surrendering his life to Christ, Jason made a radical decision. He walked away from what the world would call success to pursue something far more valuable: a real relationship with Jesus. But as he shares in this episode, following Christ isn't just about a moment—it's about a daily choice. Jenny and Jason talk candidly about what it really means to follow Him in today's culture. What does it look like to radiate Jesus instead of blending in? What does discipleship actually cost? And how can one person's obedience change the trajectory of a family line? Jason's testimony is a reminder that surrender isn't loss—it's the beginning of true life. To learn more about Jason's ministry, podcast, counseling resources, and his book WILL JESUS KNOW YOU?

In Mark 12:41–44, Jesus observes people placing their offerings in the temple treasury. Many rich people give large amounts, but Jesus highlights a poor widow who gives two small coins—everything she had. In this sermon, Pastor Don Weiss shows that this moment reveals something deeper than generosity. It reveals where our dependence truly lies.

We've all heard the phrase “just trust God,” but in the middle of a crisis, that can feel more like a dismissal than a solution. Does trusting God mean we have to pretend we aren't hurting? Does it mean we stop taking responsibility for our lives?In the third installment of our "Surrender" series, we're stripping away the religious clichés to look at the raw, biblical reality of what it means to live a life of trust. From the "tear bottle" of Psalm 56 to the wide-open freedom of the Garden of Eden, we explore:The Sanctity of Grief: Why God doesn't want you to "get over it," but rather wants to meet you in it.Tests vs. Temptations: How to discern if your struggle is a setup for failure or a strengthening of your faith.The Mystery of the Will: How to stop living in "decision paralysis" and start walking in the "permissive will" and freedom God designed for you.If you've ever felt like your faith was a tightrope you were bound to fall off of, this episode is for you. It's time to trade your "performance" for His "protection."—To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch

Rainbow Island woke up to the wackiest morning ever—flying buses, falling stickers, and trouble popping up everywhere!

Psalm 31:1-24 - The message explores the spiritual practice of surrender—trusting God even when circumstances are uncertain or painful. Psalm 31 demonstrates David's willingness to place his life completely in God's hands despite fear, enemies, and distress. True surrender is not passive resignation but an active trust that God is faithful and in control.

The Power of Surrender John 12:1-8

Message by Chris Brown on March 14, 2026. Today we need to call a timeout in our Surrender series just to reminder ourselves who Jesus really is. Most people would define Jesus by His time lived on earth between the manger scene and an empty tomb. Today we are going to find out that there is a much, much bigger Jesus in the Bible than just those 33 years.

Send a textChelsey shares the story of her Papa—the man who became her grandfather when she was five years old and who faithfully modeled the love, truth, and steadiness of God for decades.After his recent passing, Chelsey reflects on the powerful celebration of his life and the legacy he leaves behind: a life marked by faithfulness to the Lord, a family shaped by the gospel, and a testimony that continues even after death.His funeral was not just a memorial—it was a proclamation of the gospel, a reminder that a life lived for Christ echoes far beyond our years.But this moment also surfaced something deeper. In the quiet spaces of grief, Chelsey confronted a lie the enemy had whispered for years: the feeling of being an outsider who doesn't quite belong.Through a meaningful conversation with her grandmother after the funeral, God gently ministered to Chelsey's heart and reminded her of the truth—she has always belonged, and the love and faith of her Papa helped shape the woman she is today.In this episode Chelsey shares:• The legacy of a life faithfully devoted to God • Why Christian funerals are powerful opportunities to proclaim the gospel • The bittersweet reality of grieving with the hope of heaven • How the enemy uses subtle lies about belonging and identity • The healing moment that reminded her of God's steadfast loveThis episode is a reminder that a life lived for Christ never ends quietly—it continues through testimony, through family, and through the gospel that transforms generations.

 In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a controversial passage from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam — the ancient Sanskrit text of Vedic wisdom centered on Krishna and the path of Bhakti Yoga. The story describes Krishna interacting with the gopīs of Vrindavan — the cowherd women whose consciousness was completely absorbed in devotion to Him. At first glance the scene appears morally troubling, but the sages explain that it reveals a deeper spiritual principle: divine love exists beyond ordinary moral frameworks. Along the way the discussion moves between the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the Bhagavad Gita, Shakespeare, and classic jazz love songs, showing how even great romantic lyrics can echo the bhakti insight that the deepest love longs to give everything. In Bhakti Yoga this is called ātma-nivedanam, the complete offering of oneself to the Divine — and when devotion reaches that level, Krishna reciprocates and awakens the soul's highest consciousness. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Every generation eventually faces moments when stability disappears, and the ground beneath our assumptions begins to shake. Cultural chaos, personal uncertainty, and unexpected upheaval have a way of revealing what our faith is actually built upon. In those moments, the question is no longer theoretical—it becomes deeply personal. This week on Win Today, my good friend Paige Collins joins me for a thoughtful conversation about preparing our lives for seasons of shaking and why surrendering to God is often far more costly than we expect. We explore the posture required to remain steady when circumstances become unpredictable, the spiritual maturity that grows through relinquishing control, and how God often forms resilience in environments that feel uncomfortable or uncertain. We also touch on the intriguing and often misunderstood topic of dreams and whether God can still speak through them today. Scripture includes moments where the Lord communicated through dreams—from Solomon's encounter in 1 Kings to Joel's prophetic declaration that in the last days people would dream dreams. At the same time, we make an important distinction: dreams are never equivalent to Scripture, never authoritative revelation, and never a replacement for the Word of God. Instead, if they occur at all, they must be tested, weighed, and submitted to the authority of Scripture and the wisdom of the Church. If the cultural moment feels unstable, if you sense the Lord inviting you into deeper surrender, or if you're wondering how to remain grounded when life becomes unpredictable, this conversation will help clarify the posture that prepares a believer to endure seasons of shaking. Guest Bio Paige Collins is a lifelong dreamer and visionary, and the founding partner of Icon Media Group, a premier PR firm specializing in faith and family entertainment. She has led high-impact publicity campaigns for major faith-based films and Kingdom-driven brands, helping shape the public conversation around faith in media and culture.

What if the reason you feel exhausted as a leader isn't your team… your workload… or even your business? What if it's the illusion of control? Many leaders believe they need to manage every behavior, track every metric, and constantly push for performance. Yet the harder they try to control outcomes, the more disconnected their teams become. In this episode, George welcomes Dr. Jessica Kriegel, a leading organizational culture expert and author of Surrender to Lead, to explore why so many leaders and entrepreneurs feel burned out while still struggling to get the results they want from their teams. Jessica shares why traditional leadership approaches, focused on control, compliance, and constant oversight, often create more problems than they solve. Instead of driving engagement, they create pressure, fear, and disengagement. Together, George and Jessica break down how leaders can move from control-based leadership to trust-based leadership, where ownership, alignment, and culture naturally grow. This episode dives deep into leadership psychology, workplace culture, trust, and personal accountability, giving leaders practical frameworks to build teams that operate from ownership instead of obligation. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why leaders often burn out trying to control what they cannot control The difference between compliance-based leadership vs commitment-based leadership How workplace culture is shaped by leadership behavior, not policies Why surrendering control actually creates stronger teams The hidden cost of micromanagement and over-optimization How leaders can build trust and psychological safety inside organizations The mindset shift required to lead from empowerment rather than pressure   Key Takeaways: ✔️Control creates resistance. The more leaders try to force outcomes, the more teams disengage. ✔️Culture is not built through policies, it's built through daily leadership behavior. ✔️The illusion of control often drives leader burnout and frustration. ✔️Teams perform better when leaders focus on alignment and trust rather than compliance. ✔️Ownership grows when people feel psychologically safe to contribute ideas and solutions. ✔️Micromanagement reduces creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. ✔️Leaders who surrender control gain something far more powerful: commitment.   Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] – The illusion of control and why leaders burn out [02:10] – Introducing Dr. Jessica Kriegel and the topic of culture leadership [05:20] – Why traditional leadership models fail in modern organizations [10:45] – The difference between compliance and commitment [17:30] – Why leaders fall into the “action trap” of meetings and KPIs [23:15] – How culture is actually created inside organizations [29:10] – The psychological cost of micromanagement [36:40] – Why surrendering control creates stronger leadership [44:05] – Trust, ownership, and psychological safety in teams [52:30] – How leaders unintentionally create disengagement [59:40] – Practical steps leaders can take to shift their culture [1:07:10] – Final leadership lessons and Jessica's biggest advice for entrepreneurs Connect with Dr. Jessica Kriegel Culture strategist, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Surrender to Lead.

Send a textWhat does it really mean when the Bible calls wives the “weaker vessel”?For many women, that phrase has been misunderstood, misused, or rejected altogether. But in this episode, Chelsey reframes the biblical meaning in a way that restores the beauty and dignity of God's design.Being the “weaker vessel” is not about inferiority—it's about value.Like fine china, something delicate is not treated carelessly. It is handled with intention, protected, honored, and cherished. In the same way, God designed women with unique strengths, sensitivities, and capacities that bring life, beauty, and depth into marriage and the home.In this episode Chelsey unpacks:• What the Bible actually means by “the weaker vessel” (1 Peter 3:7) • Why men and women were created with distinct roles in marriage • How culture has distorted God's design for masculinity and femininity • Why being cherished, protected, and honored is part of God's intention for wives • How understanding your role as a wife strengthens—not weakens—your marriageThis conversation is a powerful reminder that God's design for men and women in marriage is not about hierarchy or competition—it's about complementary strength, honor, and unity as one flesh.When husbands and wives embrace their God-given roles, marriage begins to flourish the way it was always meant to.

The key to getting unstuck isn't adding something new - it's having the courage to let go of the belief, behavior, or story that's been keeping you in place. I also share the one motto I've used for years that completely changed how I relate to change: I let change change me.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00:00 - Welcome & Are You Stuck?00:00:32 - The Biggest Misconception About Self-Sabotage00:01:02 - Your Brain Is a Pattern Recognition Machine00:02:19 - You Have to Venture Into Unknown Territory00:04:00 - It's Not What You Need to Do - It's What to Let Go Of00:05:01 - The Quicksand Analogy00:06:23 - The Dog on the Nail Story00:07:23 - Surrender to the Truth Already in Front of You00:08:36 - I Let Change Change Me00:12:59 - Final Thoughts & Call to Action***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Fields Ready for Harvest: Faith, Healing, and the Work of God – John 4:27–54 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through the Gospel of John by exploring John 4:27–54, where two powerful themes unfold—the harvest of hearts ready to believe and the healing power of Jesus' word. After His encounter with the Samaritan woman, Jesus reminds His disciples that the fields are already ripe for harvest, inviting them to see people through God's eyes. The chapter then closes with the healing of the official's son, revealing a faith that trusts Jesus' word even before seeing the result. Together, Jamie and Jane reflect on what it means to participate in God's harvest, trust Christ's authority, and recognize how belief grows when we step out in faith. This conversation encourages listeners to see the people around them as God does and to trust that His word still brings life and healing today. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Send a textWhere did High Level Wife come from?In this deeply personal episode, Chelsey shares the full story behind how the High Level Wife community was born—from a marriage retreat with High Level Husband founder Tommy McAllister to a moment in the back of a taxi where God used Scripture in Haggai to radically redirect her path.What began as a simple message asking Chelsey to create a program for wives quickly became something much deeper: a season of breaking, surrender, and preparation as God reshaped her calling.Chelsey shares the behind-the-scenes journey of:• How she and her husband first discovered High Level Husband • The moment Tommy McAllister prophetically saw a future partnership • Why God had to break down her own ambitions before building High Level Wife • The powerful confirmation God gave through the book of Haggai • How the Holy Spirit is transforming marriages inside the HLW community today • Why High Level Wife is not about one person—but about the body of Christ working togetherThis episode is a powerful reminder that God often prepares us in seasons of breaking before releasing the calling He has planned.Because when we stop building our own houses and start building His… He multiplies the work in ways we could never orchestrate ourselves.

The Left is currently working overtime to convince you that Non-Citizen voting is just a 'MYTH.' They claim the SAVE Act—a simple bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, is actually about 'disenfranchisement' and Voter Suppression. But if non-citizens voting is truly a myth, why are Democrats fighting so desperately to keep the loopholes open?SPONSOR: Brave BooksBrave Books creates pro-God, pro-America stories teaching the lessons our culture is trying to erase, like truth, courage, sacrifice, faith, and love of country through stories kids actually want to read.

This week we tackled a topic that so many people wrestle with: anxiety. Looking at Luke 10 and Luke 12, we explored how anxiety often grows from our desire to control what we can't control and from believing the lie that we are what we do or how we feel. Through the story of Mary and Martha, Jesus reminds us that He didn't come to watch us perform for Him—He came to spend time with us. Real freedom begins when we stop chasing control, identify the lies anxiety tells us, and rest in the truth of who we are in Christ.

Some musicians learn the blues. Others are raised inside it.Today I sit down with Doyle Bramhall II, one of the most distinctive voices in modern blues guitar and contemporary roots music. Raised in Texas as the son of legendary musician Doyle Bramhall, he grew up surrounded by the raw musical energy of the Austin music scene, absorbing the sounds of blues and rock from an early age.Doyle has built a remarkable career as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, collaborating with artists including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow, and Erykah Badu. His playing style is instantly recognizable, partly because he plays left-handed with a guitar strung for a right-handed player and flipped upside down.We dive into the fascinating origins of his musical journey, including the moment when a visit from someone special inspired him to take the guitar seriously. Doyle shares his insight into his personal work developing the Ultimate Breakthrough, a process designed to support energetic and consciousness shifts aligned with one's purpose.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:53] Growing up inside the Austin blues scene[17:03] How playing guitar upside down led to the Eric Clapton gig[38:54] From the Fabulous Thunderbirds to the Archangels[44:05] How Stevie's death sent Doyle into a two-year heroin spiral[57:51] What made Sly Stone one of the most innovative artists who ever lived[01:23:46] Staying sober while working with plant medicine[01:35:14] The chain of synchronicities that led Doyle from isolation to his life's calling[01:55:23] How Doyle's healing practice works and happens during a session[02:07:55] The three influences that shaped Doyle as a musicianRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Not Just For Sleep: Melatonin | The Master Molecule + Next Level Biohacks w/ Dr. John Lieurance | PodcastThe Future Of Chronic Pain & Injury Healing W/ Drs.

The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran showed no sign of slowing on Tuesday, with both sides trading strikes and vowing to keep up the attacks. U.S. officials said the campaign has destroyed most of Iran's ability to produce nuclear fuel, and President Trump said forces also struck sea mine targets tied to Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz.

Sometimes it's not the noise. It's not the hype. It's not even the big breakthrough. It's one sentence that lands at the right time. In this episode, I share the one thing I heard in church that changed my life — and why it might be exactly what you need to hear right now. We talk about: • The difference between knowing faith and living faith • Obedience over emotion • Why alignment matters more than comfort • Trusting God when nothing makes sense • Letting go of control • Surrender as strength, not weakness • What it really means to walk by faith Sometimes growth isn't about doing more. It's about surrendering deeper. Sometimes the breakthrough isn't outside of you. It's in your willingness to listen. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it. ️   Disclaimer This podcast is for educational and personal development purposes only.

It lives in the mental loops of worry. In trying to control outcomes. In carrying responsibility that was never ours to hold. In this episode, I explore the connection between control, worry, surrender, and the nervous system — and why surrender is not just a spiritual act, but a physiological one. When we mentally rehearse “what if” scenarios, our bodies respond as if the threat is happening right now. That keeps stress hormones elevated, digestion suppressed, and the nervous system on alert. But surrender sends a different signal: safety. We talk about: Why worry is a form of mental stress activation How control keeps the nervous system in vigilance The difference between responsibility and over-responsibility Why surrender reduces the body's threat load How faith practices like stillness and trust support regulation What it looks like to release outcomes daily How peace is not just spiritual — it's a body state If you've felt tense, tired, or caught in mental loops, this episode offers relief without shame. You don't have to hold everything together. Peace is not earned. It's received. I hope this episode blesses you!

What happens when pushing harder only makes you feel more exhausted inside? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Daniel Faust joins for a grounded conversation on surrender—not as weakness, but as a practical pathway back to clarity. This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels overwhelmed underneath. Daniel breaks down how our unprocessed “MESS” (mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and relationship/intimacy wounds) quietly leaks into our work, decisions, and relationships—and why healing often starts with honest inventory, not more control. About the Guest: Daniel Faust is a former United States Air Force servicemember who shares his personal healing journey through what he calls the “MESS”—mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and relationship/intimacy wounds. He speaks openly about surrender, identity, and rebuilding from the inside out. Episode Chapters: 00:04:15 — When “trying harder” makes the inner exhaustion worse 00:05:22 — Looking successful outside, falling apart inside 00:06:23 — Air Force transition, contracts, and hidden stress 00:08:20 — What surrender really means (and what people get wrong) 00:11:29 — The “MESS” begins: a job shock, birthday, and the divorce threat 00:16:00 — The practical start: inventory, patterns, and honest “why” questions 00:20:04 — The core question: “Do you like the mess you're in?” Key Takeaways: Do a control inventory: where are you gripping tight—money, validation, anger, intimacy, or being “right”? Ask: Is this pattern benefiting me—or repeating the same cycle? Notice where stress spills onto the people closest to you, especially in tough seasons. Practice surrender as a daily decision, not a one-time moment—release one small piece at a time. If you keep seeing the same outcomes in relationships or work, check the common denominator: your unhealed patterns. Use Daniel's question as a mirror: “Do I enjoy the mess I'm in?” How to Connect With the Guest: Linktree: linktree/warhero2superhero (Warhero 2 superhero) Spotify: Elements of Surrender (music project mentioned)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Why do human philosophies keep promising freedom—yet leave people more anxious, confused, and broken? In today's MY Devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef traces the root of our modern spiritual crisis back to the first temptation in the garden: Adam and Eve believed Satan's lie and chose rebellion over God's perfect wisdom. That same pattern still drives every ideology that elevates human desire above God—and it's why man-made “solutions” always fail. But there is real hope: only God's wisdom can repair what sin has destroyed. And God hasn't left us guessing. Through the Holy Spirit, believers have access to the mind of God—yet Dr. Youssef reminds us that the Spirit's guidance isn't experienced through information alone, but through surrender. You'll hear why: daily yielding to the Holy Spirit is essential for clarity and spiritual strength, ignoring the Spirit grieves Him—and persistent disobedience can quench His voice, many can read the Bible and still miss its meaning without the Spirit's illumination, and it's never too late to invite the Spirit back into the “driver's seat” of your life. Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Mark Scandrette explores Jesus' most countercultural teaching, the Beatitudes, and what it means for how we lead. This conversation digs into the upside-down kingdom values of mourning, meekness, mercy, and peacemaking, and asks what spiritual leadership looks like when it's rooted in these ancient rhythms. Mark and I became friends after this interview when we walked the Camino de Santiago together in 2022.Send me a text!

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 2: An Elevator for Small Children. We talk about the quiet places of discouragement, and self-reliance that keep us striving instead of surrendering. We also reflect about how radical dependence on God is not laziness, the subtle ways we resist being little before a loving Father, and how our poverty is a doorway into deeper trust. This week, we invite you to fall into the Father's arms, allow Him to pick you up, and rest in the One who delights in you.   Heather's One Thing - The Prince of Egypt Movie  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Bishop Erik Varden's Lenten Reflections to Pope Leo (I especially recommend the reflections entitled: Bernard the Idealist, God's Help, Becoming Free, and Splendour of Truth) Michelle's One Thing - Art Lectio Instagram Account   Journal Questions: Where are you feeling discouraged? Where do I experience self-reliance, codependency, or hypervigilance in my life? When in the past have I made agreements that I have to rely on myself and fix everything?  Where am I living out a pattern of childhood wounds and identities?   Discussion Questions: How have you experienced failure this Lent? When do I grasp, kick, and flail like a child in my spiritual life? When did God last remind you that you are not God? How did your heart respond to it? Where is God inviting you to embrace your littleness rather than run from it?   Quote to Ponder: "Being little means not attributing to ourselves the virtues we practice, or believing ourselves capable of anything, but recognizing that God places this treasure in the hands of His little child so that she can use it when she needs it; but the treasure is still God's." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)    Scripture for Lectio: "All you who labor, who are bent under the weight of your burden, who find the demands of the Law too heavy, come to me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

Caring for an aging parent: so many of my friends are in this stage right now! If you're also in this season, you understand how emotionally overwhelming it can be to care for an elderly parent. What do we do with the guilt, the grief and the new boundaries we must set as we try to offer support on so many levels, often while also pursuing career and personal goals (and for many of us, still raising kids)? In this episode, I sit down with hospice nurse and author Linda Larson to talk honestly about the emotional tension and the faith-stretching that comes with caring for aging parents.
