Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, they explore how hope, community, and God's faithfulness sustain us while we wait.

In this episode, Tory and Mary explore why Scripture presents limits not as punishment, but as part of God’s good design for human flourishing. What if the boundaries we resist most are actually the places where God forms trust, dependence, rest, and joy? Hosted on Ausha.

S4Ep1 - Is comfort the highest good?

If something feels hard, does that mean something is wrong? We live in a world that avoids discomfort at all costs, but what if that instinct is forming us in the wrong ways?
