It's just me and you today, friend. And if you're tired, emotionally, spiritually, or physically- this episode is for you!

It's sunshine season! Maycember is in full swing. And in this solo episode of the eighth & GRACE, we're talking about what it means to live inside the tension of being completely worn out but still wildly faithful. You might be showing up with a whisper instead of a roar, but you're still showing up. And that? That's holy ground.

We're diving into what it means to create a Sacred Summer Rhythm- one that makes room for rest, laughter, and core memories that aren't curated but lived.

Less hustle, more presence. Less scrolling, more soul time. Less pressure, more peace.

I'll share honest reflections, prophetic encouragement, and practical soul care ideas, from backyard picnics and holy girl prayer walks to baking bread, journaling under the stars, and saying yes to friendship( even at the nail salon.)

Takeaways:

• What sacred rest really looks like (and why Jesus is the rest you need)
• How to build a soulful summer that honors humanity
• Gentle permission to show up tired, find rest, and be deeply loved
• Fun+ Faith - filled ideas for spiritual renewal and summer joy
• Why showing up in your own story is enough-yes, even in a swimsuit (there might be triggering lanuage spoken in love)

If you've ever whispered, God I'm trying, this one's for you.

Ever found yourself unraveling over something small? A coffee spill, a chipped nail, or a sideways gnace from ( insert whoever is always doing it:)Only to realize it wasn't really about that?

Yeah, Same!!!

In this unfiltered episode of What About This, we're going below the surface to talk about the breakdowns that seem random, but are anything but! Because what looks like frustration might actually be buried grief, shame, doubt, or fear. What sounds like snapping might really be your soul screaming for rest.

Roots don't need permission to grow.

Just space.

And some of us have been making space for things we were never meant to caryy.

This isn't just another pep talk. It's a grace reset.

It's time to uproot what doesn't belong. Are you ready?

Let's go!

Have you ever wondered if there is more to your faith than what you have been living? More than the sermons, more than the strving- something deeper and closer? What if the missing piece isn't a "what," but a Who?

This one goes deep.

In this powerful conversation, I send down with Jenny Randle, author of The Promised Presence- to talk about the Holy Spirit not as a theological idea, but as His living presence, active and available in your everyday life.

We talk about what it means to move from spiritual disillusionment to devine intamcy. From knowing about the Spirit to living in tune with Him. Jenny's story, rooted in healing from spiritual abuse and rediscovering the nearness of God, is a prophetic reminder: the Spirit still speaks, still heals, still empowers and wants to move in you.

Inisde this episode:

• The difference between head knowledge and holy encounter
• How spiritual gifts are not about spectacle and lean into surrender
• What to do when your heart aches for miracles that haven't come

Let's unpack what it means to live a Spirit- empowered life- right in the middle of ordinary, the uncertian, and the undone.

This isn't hype. This isn't emotinalism. This is invitation Substack- to a life marked by the breath of God and the fire of His presence.

If your soul feels restless... if you're hungry for something deeper... If you've ever whispered, "there has to be more"- this episode is for you.

This conversation will stir your hunger to move beyond knowing about God- to knowing that you encounter His Spirit who speaks, heals, and transforms. Come and see what happens when you make room for the Spirit who never leaves.
