Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the right things, but you still feel tired, anxious, and spiritually stretched thin?

Jonathan sits down with Justin Whitmel Earley for part 2 of an insightful conversation on why your body’s habits may be the missing piece in your walk with Christ. Justin shares how a season of panic attacks and sleepless nights exposed deeper spiritual needs and how rediscovering God’s design for rest transformed his life.

Together they take on our culture’s obsession with control, the illusion of self-sufficiency, and the freedom that comes when we finally admit, “I am not God and praise God for that.”

This episode invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and allow the Gospel to shape how you live every single day.
