What Is Wholehearted? (and what it’s not)

Send us Fan MailIf faith has started to feel heavier than life-giving, you’re not alone AND you’re not doing it wrong.In this foundational episode, Amy defines what Wholehearted living really means and, just as importantly, what it does not mean. This conversation is for the faithful, disciplined woman who has kept showing up… but is quietly tired of spiritual intensity that burns her out instead of forming her.Wholehearted living isn’t hype, it doesn’t strive out of fear, and it doesn’t happen from trying harder.It’s a formation process that begins with belovedness, not responsibility, and unfolds slowly through perseverance, wisdom, and grace.In this episode, you’ll explore:Why some “old” approaches to spiritual growth stop working over time.How Scripture names divided, weary, and broken hearts, without shame.What it means to love God with your whole heart, mind, and strength without fragmentation.Why do rhythms spiritually form you more deeply than striving or big emotional moments?How discipline can be reordered around love instead of fear or pressure.This episode lays the foundation for the podcast's themes: Enneagram, rhythms, storywork, and a slower, more intentional journey of spiritual formation throughout the year.If you’ve been longing for growth that doesn’t exhaust you, faith that doesn’t demand certainty, and transformation that honors your story, then this conversation is for you.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU:Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wickshttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicksNot sure about your Enneagram Type?
