Are you tired? Weary? Burned out on religion? Tune in. Thirst can be more than a physical thing. What is the thing you resort to when boredom strikes, when dreams die, when life feels out of control? In this episode - we look at the thirsts of the soul and what Jesus offers to meet us right where we are and address what can quench our deepest longings. The void is real. Numbing is the go-to. And if its hard to quiet your mind and clear anxious thoughts, I share a vision that might help you. The goal? Is to experience peace and understand where to go for true fulfillment and sweet release. Join me for a brilliant pause - to slow down, take a breath and shift your focus to what matters so you can love this life you live.
