The Nook Podcast

I currently find myself in an unexpected season of unemployment and I decided to chronicle how that is going through a 4-part podcast series called "The In-Between". The first episode releases today: https://thenookpodcast.buzzsprout.com

With each episode, I will have an accompanying summary and some action steps for those who might be going through something similar.

What do you do when life falls apart without warning?
If you’ve ever experienced sudden job loss, heartbreak, or a door closing when you least expected it, you know the shockwave it sends through your mind and soul.

The good news: God is closest when life feels most unstable.

💡 Practical Step This Week:

Make space to feel what you’re feeling.
Don’t rush it. Don’t numb it. Don’t pretend it’s fine.
Talk to God honestly. Journal. Share with a trusted friend.

Healing begins when we stop trying to “be strong” and allow ourselves to be honest.

📖 Scripture to Hold Onto:

Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 139:16 — “All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”
Hebrews 10:23 — “Let us hold tightly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.”

If today feels heavy, breathe deep.
God is not surprised by your situation, and He’s not going anywhere.

Faith cures fretting. Sight is cross-eyed, and views things only as they seem, hence her envy; faith has clearer optics to behold things as they really are, hence her peace.

–Charles Spurgeon
