In this episode of The Question Table , we reflect on the searching question, “If we follow an unhurried Savior, what should the pace of our lives be?” Drawing from Scripture and the life of Jesus, this conversation explores why so many of us live hurried, overcommitted lives—even after becoming aware of our exhaustion and longing for rest. We consider what lies beneath our striving, the difference between productivity and fruitfulness, and why true rest can feel so difficul

In this episode of The Question Table , we sit with the question, “What is something you are always looking for?” Moving beyond misplaced keys and forgotten details, this reflection explores the deeper longings of the human heart—belonging, love, meaning, and rest.

O Eternal, drench us with Your endless love, even now as we wait for You. Psalm 33:20–22 in The Voice (VOICE) This passage beautifully captures that rhythm of hope, trust, and divine help you and I are daily invited into — it’s both contemplative and deeply relational, echoing the “withness” of God throughout

Guilt clings to the soul like barnacles on a ship, corroding joy and weighing us down. But God doesn’t just cover our guilt — He removes...
