What does a life of faith actually look like when it’s lived out? What nuggets of wisdom do older Christians have to encourage you in your walk with God? On Eternal Echoes, you’ll hear from older Christians who share what they have learned about God, themselves, faith, trials, and more on their life journey.
Inspired by the Biblical command to, “stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies” (Jeremiah 6:16), Eternal Echoes features conversations with seniors in the faith that can help edify, guide, and encourage you on your own walk with God.
Ep. 61: When God Asks You to Shift: Pivoting Away from the Podcast
After nearly two years of conversations with wise older saints, Katharine shares an important ministry update: this will be the final episode of the Eternal Echoes Podcast—for now.
But this isn't an ending. It's a new assignment.
In this deeply personal solo episode, Katharine shares how the Lord has been leading her into retirement communities and assisted living facilities to capture the stories and wisdom of older adults who often feel unseen and unheard.
She reflects on what it means to follow God's leading even when the path ahead isn't fully clear, and why obedience often requires us to pivot before we understand.
Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and wisdom gleaned from previous podcast guests, this episode is an encouragement to anyone navigating uncertainty, transition, or a season of surrender.
Join Katharine as she discusses:
-Why Eternal Echoes is shifting away from the podcast format
-Learning to trust God when He only reveals the next step
-How God is the ultimate "rerouter”
-The hidden work God does in us while we're building what He's called us to build
-Lessons from Noah and Elijah about faith and obedience
-How God's provision is often connected to our willingness to move
