What's the Word?

We Are Not Meant to Do This Alone

Jaime McFaden

In this episode of What’s the Word, we’re taking a walk — literally and spiritually — to reflect on the power of community and connection.

You’ll be invited into a walking meditation to consider:
 💭 Who are you carrying?
 💭 Who’s been carrying you?

We’ll read Galatians 6:2, explore the pitfalls of hyper-independence, and remind ourselves of a simple but powerful truth: "Letting someone help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise."

Whether you’ve been feeling isolated, burnt out, or just craving deeper connection, this episode is your gentle nudge back to real community — the kind God intended.

📿 Includes a walking prompt + meditation to carry with you throughout your day.
