Summary

Welcome back to In Totality! Have you ever found yourself so caught up in the busyness of life that your time with the Lord becomes more about what you need from Him rather than just truly centering Him? That’s where I found myself at the end of last year, and I knew I needed to step away. In this episode, I’m sharing why I took time off from social media and the podcast, what God revealed to me through a week of prayer and fasting, and how He’s calling us to a daily dependence on Him. Fasting stretched me, refined me, and renewed my heart—and maybe it's something God is calling you to as well. What would it look like to truly depend on the Lord daily? Tune in and let’s talk all about it.

0:55.6	I never, I don't think I intentionally thought to do like seasons.
0:59.9	But, I mean, I took, I took a significant sabbatical.
1:04.0	So I guess this would be season two of in totality.
1:06.6	And I'm so excited, excited but nervous to be back.
1:09.7	I have not been in the routine of podcasting,
1:13.6	but I guess it's kind of like riding a bike,
1:17.6	like you get back on it and you find your rhythm.
1:20.6	But I do believe that this season,
