Do you ever wish you could skip to the “good part” of your life?

Join Mary and Ruth Chou Simons, author, artist, and founder of GraceLaced.com, as they discuss the fear of missing out on our life, why we numb out and avoid our disappointment, and the art assignment that changed Ruth’s life.

Tune in to hear, 

  • The one question you need to ask yourself when you feel behind
  • Why chasing ‘someday’ devalues your diligence today
  • How to live faithfully in the tension between what is and what is not yet

If you are tired of chasing after “someday” in your life or running away from the restlessness within, this episode is for you!

Friend, today is the day you stop waiting for your life to begin and experience the richness being formed within and around you right now.
