Why do we sometimes turn to food or drink when we feel pain? Why do we run to social media or Netflix when life feels hard? Why do we avoid difficult conversations, scary emails, or challenging family members rather than face them full on? What does it look like to just sit and stay with those feelings instead of numbing or escaping? What could we learn about ourselves when we stay in the moment and invite Jesus in? How could we find healing and freedom as we practice the art of Staying?

Her book Stay happened to release during the season when we were all forced to stay at home. I am trusting this conversation will help you move one step closer to thriving.
