When You’re Feeling the Weight of the World...Then What? Ep. 403

About this episode

Karin and Elliott discuss how to cope with the overwhelming weight of current global issues and find empowerment amidst chaos.

I think we can all agree that things feel heavy right now. Wars. Culture Wars. The politicization of our health and, well, everything! It never stops. And when things feel heavy and like there’s chaos all around us it can feel disempowering. What can I actually do? What do I have the power to change? What can I turn to? In today’s episode Karin and Elliott wrestle with these questions we all face. They talk us through various situations and examples of the ways we can find ourselves carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders and feeling unable to make a real change. They take us through various reframes and help us see underlying motivations for these various issues. What role does fear play? What about trying to control people and situations around us? What role does faith play? Is prayer enough? What does it look like to be grounded? Join Karin and Elliott as they wrestle through these issues and offer us some perspective, guidance, and soul care as we navigate the world around us.
