The Relief of Feeling Small Under a Big Sky

Today's Scripture: Psalm 8:1-9

Have you ever looked up at the sky and felt both small and strangely held? In this episode, Dr. Alison explores Psalm 8 and the healing power of wonder. We’ll look at how awe quiets the anxious ego, helps the nervous system soften, and reminds us that being small does not mean being insignificant. We explore:

*Why awe helps interrupt anxiety and overcontrol

*The difference between humility and self-erasure

*How wonder restores your sense of belovedness

*Why childlike faith begins with receiving, not striving
