Summary

Where do you find comfort? Do you have habits, routines, or choices that help you avoid the things that really matter? In this episode, Lily takes a deeper look at how distractions show up in her life and how removing them has made room for more meaningful things. Speaking from her own experience, she shares a powerful idea — what if we stopped doing the things that pull us away from God? This episode will help you recognize those distractions, gently let them go, refocus on the bigger purpose, and live intentionally. This is episode #2 of the SURF series — Stop, Understand, Relationships, Faith — a five-week journey where we explore how to find joy and purpose in life's ups and downs. How are you riding the wave?
