Peter actually walked on water with Jesus — before sinking. But what if we paused right there and celebrated the miracle moment instead of bracing for the fall?

In this Walk On Water series episode, Bethany Joy shares how to freeze time in your own life through the practice of interactive appreciation — a simple, powerful way to spot God’s fingerprints in your everyday moments, even in the middle of life’s storms.

Whether it’s walking on water or walking the dog, you’ll learn how to notice God’s presence, celebrate His invitations, and help others do the same.

When Peter stepped out of the boat, there was a moment where his eyes were locked on Jesus and his feet were actually on the water. Before the sinking. Before the doubt. That moment matters.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why we tend to rush past the good moments and brace for the worst

• How interactive appreciation can help you notice God’s presence in your everyday

• Ways to “freeze time” and remember God’s faithfulness

• Why celebrating these moments builds resilience and deeper relationships

You’ll also hear Bethany share a personal story about how God showed up in an ordinary walk with her dog — and how that moment shifted her perspective in the middle of a difficult season.
