And the question becomes not what we’re called to—but how we’re meant to live it out faithfully over time.In this episode, we explore what it looks like to stay anchored when life gets demanding. You’ll learn why growth often brings resistance, how drifting happens quietly, and what kinds of anchors help us remain grounded in the middle of full, complex lives.Rather than offering quick fixes or productivity hacks, this conversation invites you to return to what steadies you—especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or unsure.In this episode, Kat shares:Why clarity often increases pressure rather than relieving itHow growth without grounding can lead to burnoutThe subtle ways we drift in demanding seasonsFour practical anchors that can help you stay groundedReflection Questions from the Episode:Where do I feel most unsteady or reactive right now?Which anchor feels weakest in this season—and which feels most accessible?What demand am I carrying that may not actually be mine to hold?Where have I been confusing urgency with importance?If I’m honest, what am I afraid would happen if I slowed down?What do I already know to be true—but have been too busy to listen to?Support the show

Sermons | Countryside Bible Church Countryside Bible Church At Countryside Bible Church, we equip believers to joyfully live holy lives, to serve one another, and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, all to the glory of God. We are committed to a high view of God, and a high view of Scripture. 2 Old Ladies Walking Rozee 2 Old Ladies Walking features the journeys, insights, and light conversation between Liz and Rosie, two women of a certain age who live in the Hudson Valley of New York. From pelvic floor challenges and life with young adult children to food, bird calls, fear of “mad lamb” disease, and myriad topics in between, we cover it all while walking on the scenic trails of the northeast, or wherever our travels take us. Join us and have a listen! Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
