Hey friends, today’s episode is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded.
I’m pulling back the curtain on my past year—the wins, the challenges, and the moments I honestly wondered if I was still called to this work. If you’ve ever felt discouraged in your practice, if you’ve questioned your leadership, or if you’ve wondered how God could possibly use the hard stuff you’re walking through… this one’s for you. I’m sharing the real story of how He’s been refining me as a leader, what I’ve learned through mistakes, and the practical steps that will help you rise back up when the weight of practice ownership feels heavy.
So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s get honest about discouragement—and the God who meets us in it.
