What’s Next

Hi Everyone! I wanted to give a little update on what I’ve been thinking and praying about the future of Morning Prayer and Worship.

I’ve been producing the podcast since 2018. I went to five days a week in 2022. It’s been a labor of love and such a blessing. You have all been a part of helping me build and continue on this journey. We’re at 859 episodes (!!).

For a while now, I’ve been feeling like a new chapter, a new season is needed for the podcast. I’m not sure what that looks like.

A refreshed format?

Fewer days?

An end?

So, I’m going to take the rest of May as a sort of sabbatical from producing the podcast. I ask you to pray that I will have clarity on the next steps.

I would also love to hear from you if you have any ideas on the future—or what has been an encouragement to you.

If there are bigger changes coming in June, I will be sure to let you know in time if you are a Patreon supporter so you can decide if you’d like to go forward with your support.

Thank you all! I’ll be back in touch closer to June to let you know what’s next!
