Are you caught in a maze and don’t even know it? Today, Dr. Kim is joined by Ryan Wekenman to talk about the maze of self-centeredness we all have to navigate.

Episode Takeaways:
- Wholeness comes from staying connected, not from doing more.
- Slowing down is often the most spiritual thing we can do.
- Our focus and intention shape the way we experience life and who we become.
- Life feels scattered because we’re often living disconnected from what truly grounds us.
- Our actions are connected to our faith.
- We ache and long for relationship with our Creator. He is a good Father.
Quotes from this Episode:
How we imagine the world really affects how we inhabit it.
Technology can connect, but the digital world often pulls us apart—scattering our presence across time and place until we forget what it means to truly be together.
When we take things out of context and mix the sacred with the trivial, our souls are shaped by confusion and chaos.
God weaves beauty from even the most ordinary or unwanted chapters of our stories—if we let Him, nothing is wasted.
We are made to be apprentices of the Master—union, abiding, obeying, and becoming like Him is the heart of how we truly change.
Faith isn't just belief in our heads—it's trust that spills out through our hands, our words, our feet, our relationships. It's embodied and lived.
Serving others, especially those closest to us, by following Christ's example, transforms both them and us. True love is found in humble service.
Faith has everything to do with our hands, our feet, our mouth, and our relationships. It’s an embodied thing.
Reflect on This:
- Where does life feel most rushed right now? How can you invite Jesus into this space instead of just trying harder?
- What small daily habit or rhythm is shaping you the most right now, for better or for worse?
- If following Jesus is more about apprenticeship than perfection, what is one simple practice you could lean into this week to stay more connected to Him?
