Ever tried to rebuild your life — your faith, your family, your finances — only to feel like it’s nothing compared to what you had before? You remember the “glory days” when everything flowed: the job was steady, your health was strong, and you felt unstoppable. Now, you’re starting over… and it feels smaller, humbler, maybe even disappointing.

In this episode of Slow 2 Speak – Lo-Fi Friday's Edition, Vooch unpacks Ezra 3:8–13, where God’s people laid a new foundation for the temple after exile. Some shouted with joy, others wept over what was lost. Through biblical insight, real-life reflection, and practical encouragement, you’ll discover:

• Why your new season doesn’t have to match the old one to be blessed
• How to worship before the rebuild is complete
• What it means to build on solid ground without compromise

If you’re navigating change, chasing restoration, or trying to find hope in a smaller beginning, this episode will remind you that God’s presence is greater than past glory.

Listen now — and start again, this time on solid ground.
