Finding Peace in the Unknown | Pentecost, Peace, & Courage, Summer Sabbath Series, Providence Podcast

/

As part of our Summer Sabbath Series, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations from the Providence Podcast. In this episode, Sister Alice and Leslie reflect on Pentecost, peace, fear, and the quiet courage that comes from trusting God's presence.

If this season has left you feeling uncertain or stretched, we hope this conversation offers a moment to pause, breathe, and remember that you don’t have to be fearless to keep moving forward.

Who will resonate with this episode? Everyone, we hope! And we especially hope it connects with:

  • Anyone navigating change, loss, or transition.

  • People longing for a deeper sense of calm without pretending fear isn’t real.

  • Those seeking simple, faith-rooted practices to ground them in daily life.

Take a few minutes to listen, breathe, and let the conversation hold space for your questions and doubts. You don’t have to have it all together—just come as you are. If something in the episode lands with you, consider sharing it in a small group or with someone who might need the same reminder: God’s presence is with us, and courage can be quiet.
