The Presence & Pursuit Podcast

What if your honest pursuit of Jesus has somehow turned into a relentless, exhausting list of expectations? That a lot of what you’ve been told about following Jesus isn't what you've experienced modeled around you. The Presence and Pursuit Podcast is a faith-based show for anyone hungry for more of Jesus - not more of religion. The one who knows in their bones that something is missing - not in an arrogant way, but from a place of holy desperation. Hosted by Lauren, a photographer, storyteller, and Bible teacher, this podcast is for the burned out, the curious, and the sincere seekers who are done with performance Christianity and ready to experience a vibrant walk with God in Spirit and Truth. Each episode blends scripture-grounded teaching with the surprising ways neuroscience, nature, and everyday life confirms that walking with God looks like pursuing Him from a place of secured identity and honesty. Here, we slow down. We strip back the noise. We return to simple rhythms and practices that have always drawn people closer to God - as we rediscover the freedom we experience when we pursue Jesus > everything else. Topics include: • Presence > Performance • Getting back to the basics of belief • How science and scripture can help us heal • Hearing from God, trusting your discernment, & applying wisdom • Identity in Christ - having a kingdom mindset • Uprooting faulty theology and the lies that may be holding us back • Our inner desire for wholeness and peace If you’re rebuilding your faith, deepening your walk, or simply tired of the noise - this is your space to breathe, seek, and pursue Jesus over everything else.
