Ep. 020 - On Wintering In The New Year With Rachel Tucker

The beginning of a new year often comes with some pressure — to set goals, make resolutions, and overhaul our lives overnight. But what if God is inviting us into something gentler?

In this solo episode, Rachel explores the idea of wintering — a season of intentional slowing, rest, and reflection — and how it can shape a more peaceful, purpose-filled approach to the new year. Rather than rushing ahead with determination and discipline alone, we talk about walking with Jesus into the year ahead, grounded in scripture, prayer, silence, and trust in divine timing.

Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to:

-Embrace stillness and listen for the Lord’s voice

-Wait on the Lord without anxiety or fear

-Live intentionally rather than reactively -Create space for personal revelation

-Honor the Sabbath, attend the temple, and nurture spiritual rhythms

-Spend less time on screens and more time in practices that bring joy, peace, and connection

-Move our bodies, step outside, and reconnect with God through creation

This episode is an invitation to let go of hurry, resist the pressure to “do it all,” and enter the year slowly — with faith, intention, and trust that God is already at work. If you’re longing for less noise and more peace… less striving and more presence… this conversation is for you.
