In this special mini-episode of The Tapestry Podcast, Mike reflects on what it means to feel numb when the world feels overwhelming. From school shootings close to home, to global tragedies, political division, COVID, and the ongoing conflicts across the globe—how do we process it all without shutting down completely? Mike shares his own struggles with numbness, drawing wisdom from voices like Nadia Bolz-Weber, Richard Rohr, and Toko pah Turner, as well as practices of grounding, service, prayer, and self-care.
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t hold it all, this conversation will remind you: you don’t have to. Instead, you can ask the simple but powerful question: What’s mine to care about? This episode offers hope, perspective, and practical tools for moving from numbness toward connection, compassion, and resilience.
