The Commons with Karla
Are you worn and exhausted from living a life of aimlessly going through the motions? There are many things that this world utilizes in an attempt to make us feel isolated and alone, but the truth is regardless of our backgrounds, there’s still so much we have in common. We all have the deep desire to connect, step into our true calling, and live lives of meaning and purpose. When we are going through the motions and living at surface level, it’s easy to feel that our days lack meaning. Welcome to The Commons, where you will find weekly inspiration to dig deeper and prioritize relationships, strengthen your families, and live a life of true, abounding freedom. Through the stories of our guests, our hope is that you will be encouraged to dive deeper into the relationships around you. When we lack connection, it’s easy to think we think we need more relationships, but oftentimes what we need is to go deeper with those already around us. Dear friend, so much of what you’re hoping for is already right in front of you. Join us as we learn, grow and connect week after week to creates lives and homes where every day, moment, and relationship is overflowing with purpose and intention. We hope that you will join us at The Commons and walk away feeling equipped to step into the richness of all that’s around you.
