🎧 SPOTIFY SHOW NOTES

🗓 Summary
Some days you trust God, and some days it still feels like you’re holding everything together. In this episode, I share why your calling feels heavier than it should and how letting Father be your refuge shifts the weight. You don’t have to carry your life or business alone. You are beloved, and you are safe.

✨ Takeaways
• Refuge isn’t a place you escape to—it’s where you live from
• Your calling gets lighter when Father carries the weight
• Intimacy with Father creates safety, not passivity
• You don’t have to brace for what’s coming next
• Resting in Father helps you enjoy the journey again

💬 Quotes
• “You don’t have to carry your calling alone.”
• “Refuge is relational, not situational.”
• “The trail doesn’t disappear, but the weight shifts.”
• “Father doesn’t send you to a refuge. He is your refuge.”

🛠️ Courageous Action
Throughout the week, notice when you start bracing or trying to manage everything yourself. In those moments, pause and remind yourself: Father is my refuge. Practice resting in His presence both in hard moments and in good ones.
