Grace, Grit & Grounds: Episode 16: The Holiday Run

December has a way of speeding up our lives even as our souls are begging to slow down. In The Holiday Run, Al shares why this season feels heavier than any other and how to find a healthier pace in the middle of the rush. With stories from his time in Alaska, where winters were so deep that neighbors carved snow corridors between their homes, this episode explores the gift of slowing down, staying close to the people who matter, and rediscovering peace in the long nights. We look at Isaiah 40 and the promise that strength comes not from hurrying harder, but from waiting on the Lord. If your December feels frantic, overwhelming, or quietly exhausting… this conversation is your reminder to breathe, rest, and let God set the pace. ☕ Pull up a chair, pour a mug, and let’s talk about the speed of the season — and the grace that steadies us. #GraceGritGrounds #TheHolidayRun #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #PacingYourSoul #WinterReflections #ChristianPodcast
