Summary

Releasing on Easter day, this conversation with Addison Bevere meets us right in the tension so many of us are living in where we are overwhelmed, overthinking, and worn down from trying to hold everything together. Addison shares his own story of burnout, insomnia, and the unraveling that comes when life is driven by control. He offers a compelling invitation into a different way of living marked by surrender, presence, and a restored connection with God as Father. Together, we explore why prayer often feels ineffective, what it actually is meant to be, and how shifting our attention can move us out of anxiety and into something steadier and more life-giving.

We have had so many guests on this show, talk about how powerful the outdoors can be for kids, especially kids with ADHD or different ways of learning and processing the world. And if you are raising a child with ADHD dyslexia, a language disorder, or really any kind of learning difference, I want to share a podcast that I think you'll really appreciate. It's called Everyone Gets a Juice Box. It's parents just being honest with each other in a really safe, welcoming space about the highs and lows of raising neurodivergent kids. And what I love about it is is how real it is. There was one story about a mom who had this big career, running a major podcast division, and she realized she hadn't been home to see her daughter before bed for weeks. And at the same time, she was starting to notice these little moments, like her daughter freezing up during a simple preschool performance and just having that gut feeling like

0:40.9

something's different here and then all the doubt that comes with that like other people saying she

0:44.8

seems fine well you're sitting here thinking but i'm her parent and i know her this mom eventually

0:49.0

stepped back in and reconnected and created little games together just to help her daughter communicate

better it's such a good reminder that connection doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be intentional. So if that interests you, go check it out. To listen, search for Everyone Gets a Juice Box. In your podcast app, that's Everyone Gets a Juice Box. Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. My name is Ginny Earch. and the founder of 1 1000 Hours Outside and super honored to have Addison Mavir as a guest today. Welcome, Addison. Thank you, Jenny. It's an honor to be here. I'm excited for this. I'm excited too. I think your story is a really powerful one. You know, you come from a family that in my world is well known. Do you feel the same way? I mean, well, that's a dumb question. It's, let's see what it's better. Hey, listen, my family's very well known in my world. Very well known. That was a dumb question. I wish I get started over. I'm not going to. Hey, no, no, I love it. Their presence looms large in my life. Yeah, yeah. That's a real thing.

And I, you know, you kind of get that through. I read a couple of your books, a book that goes along with a journal. It's a really good combo. So the one I have here is called Words with God. There's also one called Saints, but this one is called Words with God. It's about prayer, trading boring empty prayer for real connection and you pair it with this journal there's a

2:01.7

40-day Words with God prayer journal and you God, it's about prayer, trading boring, empty prayer for real connection. And you pair it with

2:00.9

this journal. There's a 40-day Words with God prayer journal. And you really get through your

2:05.9

writing. And then also I was able to interview your dad recently that you have this, I mean,

2:11.6

I'm sure as close as it can be, you know, there's always problems in families, but a fairly

2:15.6

close-knit family. And we've got five kids,

2:18.6

so they're still growing up but close to graduating. And you kind of start to wonder, like,

2:23.4

how will it be when my kid adjust into the adult world? And it was just interesting to me that

2:30.6

coming from a close-knit family and having these brothers that still there was this

2:35.3

pressure for you to get more done and to do, do, do, and to go, go to the point where you kind of

2:42.3

burnt out and it shows up physically. So can you talk about, I guess I'm just curious. It's just human

2:48.6

nature, really, is what it seems like. That we kind of take the range when we hit adulthood and often it just kind of snowballs a little bit.

2:56.6

Yeah. I mean, I think we all have to come to the end of ourselves in different ways, in different seasons.

3:02.6

Like that's a part of our formation. For me, I'm a firstborn.

3:08.1

So first barn, three younger brothers.
