 Letting Go of the Try-Harder Life

Welcome!

Abundant living.

Rest at our core.

God’s presence in the everyday.

Is that how you’d describe the Christianity you know?

When Jesus walked our planet, he claimed these would mark the lives of his followers. Fast forward a couple thousand years, though, and most of us wouldn’t describe our lives this way.

At least, not if we’re being honest.

We’re weary. Wounded. Wondering what’s missing.

Instead of fullness, we live on empty, secretly disappointed with the faith we once embraced.

Instead of soul rest, we’re driven by restlessness, trying harder to do all the things, because maybe today we’ll quit feeling like God’s disappointed in us.

Instead of supernatural living, we hide in our comfort zones where life feels predictable and controllable.

Something whispers there’s more to Christianity than this, but everyone else seems okay, so maybe it’s just us.

If this strikes a chord, I hope you’ll make yourself at home here.

I believe we long for more because there is more.

Jesus wants us to take him at his Word and run confidently to him—on the good days and the bad. His promises still apply to us today and we can experience them through ongoing connection with His Spirit.

This is life’s greatest adventure and the soul’s greatest fulfilment. Will you join me in letting go of the try-harder life?
