Patience / Restlessness

In this episode, hosts Nicole and Angelica discuss “patience” and “pause” as antidotes to discontent, restlessness, and anxiety, within their season theme of the call to action: Faith in Action. Angelica shares how her busyness often masks discontent and how pausing helps her discern God’s direction, using breath and prayer to ground herself during anxious, restless moments. Nicole relates through a parenting story about banana bread batter chaos, choosing to pause rather than react, and emphasizes that people are watching how we respond. They explore how different practices work for different people, the importance of self-awareness and somatic tools, surrendering control, and trusting God’s timing in unpredictable seasons, while showing up authentically at home and in community.00:00 Welcome and Pause Theme01:57 Busy Life vs Stillness04:46 Anxiety to Breath Practice06:04 Trusting God's Timing09:08 Banana Bread Chaos Lesson11:02 Choosing Pause as Example13:08 How She Learned to Ground17:41 Takeaways Find What Works20:16 Embrace Daily Shifts21:09 When Practices Trigger21:49 Pause With God22:18 Seasonal Restlessness24:28 Surrender Control25:45 Purpose Over Timelines27:31 Community And Armor31:46 Leading At Home First34:53 Masks Versus Essence36:18 Weekly Reflection Sendoff|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.
