This week, Cheryl sits down with Shannan Martin — bestselling author, speaker, and beloved voice on faith, community, and finding the sacred in everyday life. Together, they unpack her newest book, Counterweights: An Essential Practice for Holding Hope in a Heavy World.

In a world that often feels overwhelming, Shannan offers a refreshing invitation, not to ignore life's hardships, but to discover the practices that help us hold both sorrow and hope at the same time. Through honest storytelling and practical wisdom, she reminds us that joy isn't the absence of pain, it's a companion that helps carry us through it.

In this hope-filled conversation, they explore:

• The powerful idea behind Counterweights and how it differs from toxic positivity
• Simple practices for finding hope in the middle of grief and overwhelm
• What it means to embrace the "chaotic abundance" of everyday life
• How faith anchors us through life's heaviest seasons

Whether you're carrying grief, feeling weighed down by the world, or simply longing to notice God's goodness again, this conversation offers practical encouragement for finding hope in the ordinary.

Listen now and discover how small, intentional practices can become the counterweights that steady your soul.
