[Ep 197] When You Fall Into a Pit Pit

from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus, Christian Speaker and Spiritual Director

Have you ever been in a hard season—and then realized it wasn't just hard, it was stuck? In this episode, we explore the difference between being in a pit and being in a pit pit—those seasons where prayer, journaling, and "doing the right things" don't seem to bring relief the way they once did. This conversation isn't about labeling yourself or rushing toward solutions. It's about noticing what kind of support your heart may be asking for, and releasing the pressure to navigate everything on your own. >> Is This Still Affecting Me?: A Gentle Reflection Guide   RELATED EPISODES: ·       Episode 189: When Healing Takes Longer Than You Hoped ·       Episode 135: Identifying Signs You're Not Doing Well (And What You Can Do About It) ·       Episode 49: Finding Your Stretcher Bearers: The People Who Can Help Carry You Through a Difficult Season ·       Episode 51: Who Can I Trust?
