S2E27 | The Longview and the Now | Tapestry Podcast

Can you be fully present in the moment and still see life through a longview lens? In this solo mini-episode of the Tapestry Podcast, host Mike Orr explores the spiritual and emotional tension between being here now and looking toward the future with hope.

Mike dives into how staying grounded in the present can bring peace, but also how reflecting on your past and imagining a better future can lead to growth, healing, and transformation. He shares stories from youth ministry, reflections on change, and insights about faith practices that actually shape and mature us — not just comfort us.
