Why do so many of us feel spiritually full… but still deeply empty?
In this powerful episode of The FOUND Podcast, Lorie sits down with therapist and spiritual director Alyson Pryor to unpack the disconnect between knowing about God and truly experiencing His presence.
In a world filled with noise, pressure, and constant striving, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and disconnected even in your faith. Drawing from her own journey and her book, Come Away and Rest, Alyson shares how many of us are living “full but famished” and how Jesus’ invitation to rest is the key to healing, identity, and deeper connection with Him. This conversation is for anyone feeling spiritually dry, exhausted, or longing to hear God more clearly.
Together, they explore:
- The hidden lies that keep us striving and spiritually disconnected
- The gap between knowing God in your head and experiencing Him in your heart
- What's holding us back from meeting with God in an intimate way
- Why rest is essential for spiritual growth—not optional
- Simple, practical ways to slow down, hear God, and reconnect with Him
This episode is an invitation to step out of striving, embrace stillness, and rediscover who you are in Christ.
