This episode is full of practical encouragement for spiritual growth, Christian living, and learning how to encounter God in the middle of your real, everyday life. If you’ve ever wondered how to grow closer to God without striving or performance, this conversation will remind you that Jesus came to simplify faith, not complicate it.

Together they discuss how to create a morning rhythm that fits your personality and season of life, the difference between rigid routines and life-giving rituals, and how even chaotic mornings can become sacred space where we meet with God and set our hearts with faith and intention for the day ahead.

In this powerful conversation, Pastor Ryan Wekenman unpacks how self-centeredness and comparison quietly hinder our spiritual growth and intimacy with God. Drawing from his book Free Me From Me, he reveals how the “spotlight effect” — first seen in the Garden of Eden — still shapes the way we live, strive, and compare today. Together, we explore how social media fuels comparison, why control keeps us restless, and how prayer re-centers our hearts on who God truly is. Ryan shares practical, honest steps to surrender control. He touches on how praying for others frees us from self-focused faith. If you’re longing for deeper peace and a more grounded Christian life, this episode will help you refocus and find true rest in Christ.
