When the Heart Races

from The Woodlands: A Place for Exploring the Spiritual Life · host Jake Owensby

When the Heart RacesWhy does trying to “be true to yourself” so often leave us anxious and exhausted? I explore how the pressure to construct and prove our identity keeps the heart racing—and how Jesus offers a different path grounded in receiving our lives as a gift rather than achieving them.Part of my Lenten reflections on how Jesus reshapes our desires and teaches us to live more freely and truthfully.
