Feeling spiritually behind? This episode is your permission slip to stop striving and simply come home to God, just as you are.

Summary: Have you ever felt like you've fallen too far behind with God to even try anymore? This episode is a gentle invitation to let go of the guilt, shame, and the lie that you need a "spiritual catch-up plan." We'll explore the difference between shame and conviction, the truth of God's grace found in the story of the prodigal son, and practical, pressure-free ways to reconnect with His heart. It’s time to release the weight of performance and rediscover the simple, beautiful truth that you don't have to catch up—you just have to come home.
