Rest Is Part of the Trellis Growing the Gifts We've Been Given – Part 2

Is rest the opposite of growth—or could it actually be part of the support that helps us flourish?

In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I continue the Growing the Gifts We've Been Given series by exploring how walking, reading, prayer, birding, and other forms of intentional rest help cultivate creativity, faith, and resilience.

After the reflection, I continue reading from my epic fantasy novel, Dark Blade Forged.

Strengths need support just as surely as grapevines need trellises. In this episode, I explore how understanding our natural gifts can help us grow with purpose instead of striving against the way we're designed. Plus, I continue my reading of Dark Blade Forged.

In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I reflect on a joyful backyard movie night, the unexpected emotional morning that followed, and a walk that became a reminder to notice the stories unfolding all around us. From friendship and laughter to faith, nature, awkward conversations, and the writing life, this episode explores how paying attention—to people, creation, and our own hearts—can bring peace, hope, and inspiration for both living and storytelling.
