Shownotes

What if the peace you're searching for isn't found by doing more... but by drawing closer to Jesus?

In this encouraging episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with worship leader, songwriter, wife, and mother Whitney Mooring for a conversation about identity, worship, faith, and learning to rest in Christ.

Whitney opens up about growing up in a family known for music and ministry while discovering that her worth wasn't found in performance or expectations, but in being a daughter of God. She shares her testimony of overcoming food addiction, walking through miscarriage, raising a Christ-centered family, leading worship, and experiencing God's faithful presence through every season of life.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that our deepest longing isn't satisfied by achievement, approval, or success—it is satisfied by Jesus alone.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Finding identity in Christ

• Overcoming the pressure to perform

• Freedom from food addiction

• Learning to rest instead of strive

• Trusting God through miscarriage and loss

• Why Jesus must become your first love

• Raising children with a biblical worldview

• The power of worship and God's presence

• Growing closer to Jesus in everyday life

Whether you're feeling weary, overwhelmed, or simply longing to know God more deeply, this episode will encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Christ.

"Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
