Send us a text We're kicking off our Pillars of Life series with a talk about Spiritual Health, specifically when reading the Bible feels heavy, distant, or even anxiety-producing. If that's you, you are not broken — and you are not alone. In this honest episode, we talk about what to do when spiritual routines that once felt life-giving begin to feel hard, disingenuous, or overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt shame, doubt, or tension around your quiet time, your faith, or the Church, this conversation is for you. We explore the cyclical nature of faith, why seasons of doubt and questioning are not failures but invitations, and what it looks like to approach your spiritual life with curiosity instead of condemnation. We'll talk about what I call “spiritual maintenance and renovation,” and a deeply personal story about how trauma, church hurt, and nervous-system responses can shape the way we experience Scripture. Most of all, this episode is a reminder that Jesus is not afraid of your questions — and He meets doubt with compassion, patience, and love. If your faith feels tired, tender, or in need of repair, you are invited to take a deep breath, step inside, and walk through it together.
