In this episode, hosts Nicole and Angelica discuss “patience” and “pause” as antidotes to discontent, restlessness, and anxiety, within their season theme of the call to action: Faith in Action. Angelica shares how her busyness often masks discontent and how pausing helps her discern God’s direction, using breath and prayer to ground herself during anxious, restless moments. Nicole relates through a parenting story about banana bread batter chaos, choosing to pause rather than react, and emphasizes that people are watching how we respond. They explore how different practices work for different people, the importance of self-awareness and somatic tools, surrendering control, and trusting God’s timing in unpredictable seasons, while showing up authentically at home and in community.
