Feeling overwhelmed by global crises and national headlines? In this episode, we talk about “ensmallening” our focus, shifting from paralyzing big-picture problems to the small, local, relational work that Jesus himself modeled.

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? Especially in a world full of political power struggles, religious tribalism, and cultural confusion?
