    before you soar, you have to leap | ubu. podcast

    we are almost halfway through 2026. we are almost halfway through 2026. and that hit different. in this episode, i'm pressing into one idea that has been following me all year: jumping forward. not tiptoeing. not easing in. actually leaping. i pull it through psalm 1 and the broad jump, because moving forward in the spirit requires the same things as moving forward physically. right position. focus. intention. and a soft landing. we get into why distraction eases in gradually and how to spot it before it pulls you off course, the progression in Psalm 1:1 nobody talks about, what it means to delight in the Word day and night, and why you cannot explode with intention if you were never rooted to begin with. if you've been tiptoeing toward what God has for you, this one is for you. 📖 scriptures referenced: Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 1:1-3, John 15, Deuteronomy 28 ……………………………………………………………………. 🔗 resources: ⁠https://a.co/d/05jtuq4K⁠ ⁠ ……………………………………………………………………. surrendered — a safe space for women to fast, pray, and encourage one another. the heart behind this group is simple: to surrender our whole lives, including our love lives, to God and to remember just how deeply He loves us.
