This week on The Sacred Sofa, Brad and Grace dive into a different kind of tragedy—the slow, self-made kind that sneaks up on us through good intentions gone unchecked. They explore how our greatest strengths—ambition, compassion, confidence—can quietly turn against us when boundaries blur and wisdom gets left out of the story. 🌱

From King David’s downfall 👑 to Walter White’s unraveling to today’s relentless “grindset” culture, they unpack how drive can become obsession, care can morph into burnout, and isolation can creep in under the banner of productivity.

But the story doesn’t have to end there. Brad and Grace also share how to spot the early warning signs, how to reach back toward connection when withdrawal feels easier, and why Jesus’ invitation to the weary might be the off-ramp from a life that’s slowly coming undone.
