277: What If Playing It Safe Is the Riskiest Thing You Can Do?

from Woo Woo Wednesday · host Renee Dick

We tiptoe through life as if playing it safe will somehow keep us from the inevitable. But the truth? No one gets out of here alive. In this episode, I explore how facing that reality changes the way we show up, the risks we take, and the fears we let control us. If you've ever found yourself shrinking back because of judgment, failure, or fear, this conversation will help you see it from a very different lens. We'll dig into: Why "playing it safe" is actually the riskiest choice you can make Simple questions that shrink your everyday worries down to size How remembering your mortality can push you out of your comfort zone and into your life Because at the end of the day, you can tiptoe your way to the end—or you can rise the hell up and do something epic with the time you've got.

I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.  The Supreme Court Basketball Podcast Robaire Taylor, Chris Young, Henri Taylor Looking for entertaining basketball content without the drama?

Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.)
