Nick guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode challenges listeners to ask: is there a situation in my life where I’m being called to respond with generosity rather than retaliation? The daily habit encourages one unexpected act of kindness toward someone who has wronged you — as an act of trust and worship.
