“Every rhythm of your life is a path to prayer.” —Sarah Bessey, A Rhythm of Prayer

Two days ago I sat down with Hoda Kotb on The Today Show and talked for nearly five minutes about how to know when it’s time to leave a room and how to walk into new ones. If you missed the interview live, here it is.

The only thing that matters here are Hoda’s SHOES!

But 12 hours before that moment, here’s how walking along sixth avenue as the sun set somewhere behind the buildings, alone in a city filled with people on the night before I would sit on the biggest stage I’ve ever been close to, I learned at a new level what it feels like to be held in ways you can’t see . . .

Note: The paywall exists so I can share things a bit more personal with a group smaller than the internet. It is not meant to keep anyone out, as everyone who asks for a scholarship is given one gladly. But you do have to send us an email (read how here) and when you do, we’ll let you in. If you’re able to support my work by becoming a monthly subscriber or if you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund to make it possible for someone else, upgrade to the Founders level here.
