Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/fan_mail/new] Are you tired of pretending everything is fine when it isn't? In this episode of the Intentional Grounding Godcast, we dive into Ephesians 4:25 and uncover one of the most exhausting habits many Christians struggle with: pretense. Whether it's pretending you're stronger than you are, happier than you feel, or less burdened than you actually are, living behind a mask can leave you spiritually drained and emotionally isolated. God never called us to perform our faith. He called us to live it. Together we'll explore why honesty is essential to healing, how authenticity strengthens our relationship with God and others, and why freedom begins when we stop managing appearances and start embracing truth. If you've been carrying the weight of pretending, this message may be exactly what you need today. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/support] You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to stay grounded. Take what you heard today with you not as something to rush through,  but as something to sit with. Slow your breathing.  Steady your heart.  And remember… God is already at work, even in the quiet. Thank you for spending this time with me.  Thank you for choosing stillness over striving.  Thank you for showing up—right where you are. Thank you for joining me on the Intentional Grounding Godcast.  Stay grounded, stay faithful, and remember—you’re never walking alone. Until next time… I’ll be prayin’ for ya.

Face It! Some People Aren't Going With You!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/fan_mail/new] Not everybody who starts the journey with you will be able to finish it with you. Ruth 1:14 shows us two women standing at the same crossroads, sharing the same grief, but making two completely different decisions. Orpah lovingly kissed Naomi goodbye and returned to what was familiar, while Ruth clung to Naomi and stepped toward an uncertain future of faith. In this episode of the Intentional Grounding Godcast — Letters to Isaiah, Coach Dombrowski explains how to release people without bitterness, remain committed when others turn back, and recognize the people who are genuinely prepared to walk with you into your next season. Someone else’s decision to leave doesn’t mean you’re headed in the wrong direction. Sometimes God is teaching you to stop chasing who left so you can value who stayed—and keep moving toward the future He has prepared for you.

Don't Let Second Thoughts Make the Decision!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/fan_mail/new] You finally made the decision. You recognized that it was time to leave what was familiar, released what could not follow you into the next season, and began moving forward. But now that the change is becoming real, the second thoughts have started. What if you made the wrong decision? What if you aren’t ready? What if the obstacles ahead are bigger than your ability to overcome them? In this episode of the Intentional Grounding Godcast – Letters to Isaiah, Coach Dombrowski uses Numbers 13:31 to examine how fear caused ten Israelite spies to focus on their own limitations instead of God’s power. You’ll discover why uncertainty doesn’t automatically mean you’re headed in the wrong direction, how to distinguish Godly discernment from anxiety, and why a second thought doesn’t always require a second decision. Don’t allow temporary fear to cancel the future God is calling you to enter. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/support] You don’t have to have it all figured out.

What Are You Still Holding On To?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/fan_mail/new] Letting go can be one of the hardest parts of following God. We can recognize that a season has ended and still struggle to release the people, routines, identities, and expectations connected to it. In this episode of the Intentional Grounding Godcast – Letters to Isaiah, Coach Dombrowski explores 1 Kings 19:20 NIV and the moment Elisha was called away from the life he had always known. This episode builds on the previous message about leaving home and stepping into a new season. Whether you’re preparing for college, watching a child grow up, leaving a job, moving on from a relationship, or releasing a painful chapter, this message will help you understand that honoring the past does not require living in it. Discover how to identify what you’re afraid to release, create healthy closure, and trust God with what comes next.

When It's Time To Leave Home

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/fan_mail/new] As college move-in season approaches, excitement and anxiety often arrive together. In Genesis 42:1, Jacob asks his sons a simple but powerful question: "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" It's a challenge to stop hesitating and start moving toward what God has already prepared. In this episode of the Intentional Grounding Godcast, Coach Dombrowski explores how this overlooked verse speaks directly to students leaving home, parents learning to let go, and anyone stepping into an unfamiliar season of life. Discover how God prepares the destination before He calls you to the journey, why faith often grows through movement instead of certainty, and how to build spiritual habits that will keep you grounded long after move-in day. Whether you're packing for college, beginning a new career, or facing a season of change, this episode will remind you that you're never walking into the unknown alone—God is already there.

You're Not Supposed to Have It All Figured Out!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1938552/fan_mail/new] Have you ever felt pressure to have your entire life figured out? Whether it's your career, relationships, finances, or future, the weight of making the "right" decision can feel overwhelming. In this episode of The Intentional Grounding Godcast – Letters to Isaiah, Coach Dombrowski unpacks Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV), where Jeremiah humbly acknowledges that we were never created to direct our own steps apart from God. This timeless truth reminds us that surrender isn't weakness—it's wisdom. Together we'll explore the historical context of Jeremiah's prayer, the deeper meaning behind his words, practical ways to seek God's direction, and how trusting the Lord brings peace even when the path ahead is uncertain. If you're facing a difficult decision or simply need the reminder that God sees what you cannot, this episode will encourage you to stop striving to control everything and start walking confidently with the One who already knows the way.
