Fall is a season of change — kids head back to school, leaves begin to turn, and new routines take shape. But while transitions can be exciting, they can also stir up anxiety. What do I let go of? Where do I go next? Will God really be with me in this new land?

In this week’s episode, Bonnie shares a tender story from her own life — launching one son into college, preparing another for his final years at home, and sensing God’s invitation to step into a new season for herself. Through scripture, science, and soul care, she explores how to face transitions not with fear, but with courage and peace.

Friend, you don’t need the whole map. You just need one word, one small step, and the reminder that God goes ahead of you.

Key Takeaways:

Why transitions trigger stress in the brain (even good ones)
How naming your season lowers stress and increases resilience
Why courage doesn’t mean no fear — it means walking hand in hand with God
A personal story of breaking generational patterns and stepping into a Jubilee season
A simple soul care practice to help you name and embrace your new season

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: You go ahead of me, Lord…
Exhale: I am never alone.

 Scripture:
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or in dread of them, for the Lord your God is the One going with you. He will not desert you or abandon you… The Lord is the one who is going ahead of you; He will be with you. Do not fear and do not be dismayed.” – Joshua 1:6, 8
