Got a question? Let us know!

Are you drifting—or planted?

In this episode, we dive into what it means to drift through life and how to stay grounded in what actually helps you grow. We unpack Psalm 1, revisit Amy Downs’ powerful story from the Oklahoma City bombing, and talk about how crisis doesn’t have to be the only thing that wakes us up. Plus, we’re kicking off a Bible reading challenge through the book of James to help us live with more intention.
