Climbing Fierce Podcast

Summer is a vibrant time for so many. However, it’s also one of those seasons that has some deep layers of expectation imposed on it for so many. 

These pressures can feel like an ache that comes when our summer experiences come up short… either in comparison to other’s experiences or to our own expectations. In this episode, Claudia and Hannah discuss some of these summer expectations and highlight practical strategies for revamping your perspective for this next season.

Have you ever wondered what it truly looks like to live out your God-given purpose?

Hardship will take different forms, last for different intervals, and differ in degree and depth, but the pain and loss they insert into our lives will share some definite similarities. 

It is often at this juncture of pain and loss that the comforts of life melt away, and we’re left with the raw, unfiltered, unvarnished reality of our lives. Nothing seems to get to the core of who we really are than pain and hardship. 

In this week’s episode, Claudia and Hannah discuss the launch our new podcast series on stories of hardship. They highlight the guests who will join us over the next few weeks to share their stories of pain, and God’s redemptive presence.

The jump in the mental health crisis is not a secret to anyone.

40 million adults (19% of the population) deal with a diagnosed anxiety disorder. While we can’t change our genetics, our past life events, or maybe even some of our brain chemistry...we know a God who knows the ins-and-outs of our bodies, who formed us in our mother’s womb, and who knows all of our days before any of them came to be (Ps. 139).

We can look to him as we deal with rising levels of anxiety. In this week’s episode, Claudia and Hannah talk about how to access a deeper kind of peace in God that is not humanly produced.

In this episode, Claudia and Hannah discuss the beautiful truth that God is a table-setting God. Throughout Scripture, God not only uses imagery of a table as a metaphor for our provision, but he actually wants to meet, sit, and commune with us on our life journeys.

Sometimes, God sets a table for two in a place that is far from our choosing: in the middle of our fear, uncertainty, pain, loneliness or loss. We pray that this episode encourages you and attunes you to God’s whispers in your own areas of struggle and pain, “Stop running. Stop fighting. Stoping trying to fix this. Come sit with me.”
