In this episode, we continue our Ending Well series by diving into what it really means to go a different way—to stop running on self-reliance, striving, and noise, and instead return to the quiet confidence of walking with God.

This has been one of the hardest years of my life, but also one of the most redemptive. Through heartbreak, pruning, and wilderness seasons, God has been dismantling old patterns and showing me that His way—the quiet, trusting, restful way—isn't weakness. It's strength.

God led me to Isaiah 30:15 :

"In returning and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength."

It's a verse that has completely reframed my year and the way I view obedience. In this conversation, we unpack what those four words—returning, rest, quiet, and trust—look like in real life. From letting go of the need to hustle, to learning to rest when it feels unsafe, to finding courage in stillness, this is a roadmap for ending the year not just reflective—but renewed.

If you've been wandering, striving, fighting, or doubting, this episode will remind you that God's invitation is simple:
Come home.
Rest.
Be still.
Trust Me.

Because the way you've always done things isn't the way God is asking you to end this year. He's calling you to go a different way.
