Episode 188 - Stop Borrowing Worry From Tomorrow, It Charges Interest
Manage episode 518572061 series 3654030
Anxiety feeds on “what if,” but what happens when you flip the question to “what’s mine to do right now?” We explore that shift as we come close to closing a season shaped by The Gate of Trust and step into a new journey with The Garden of Emuna, a modern guide to living faith in a noisy world.
We share why an ancient text still lands today: the premise of an all-knowing Creator reframes pressure, pace, and priorities. Instead of chasing every alert, we focus on durable wins—raising grounded kids, strengthening community, and building a life aimed at purpose rather than status. Then we move to emuna—faith as the courageous first step. Trust isn’t blind; it grows through experience. Faith acts before the outcome is obvious, invites proof, and lets trust take root across money, relationships, work, and service.
You’ll hear a personal story about a book that changed a life, sparked the impulse to gift 50 copies, and planted habits that quiet fear. We unpack why some areas feel easy while others remain tender, and how to return to faith when trust falters. We tackle the “what ifs” that hijack attention and replace them with a practice: meet today’s duty, release tomorrow’s speculation, and honour a belief that what reaches us has passed through God’s hands with purpose. If that’s true, we can stop borrowing worry from tomorrow and invest in what matters now.
Join us as we set the stage for season two, drawing practical lessons from The Garden of Emuna to navigate modern life with clarity, courage, and calm. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us where you most want to grow in faith and trust.
Until next time, have a spectacular day!
