Faith in the Freeze

Start your 7-day journey into stillness and spiritual honesty.

When life crashes and your soul goes quiet, faith can feel more like frost than fire. This devotional is not about fixing, striving, or pretending. It's an invitation to name the numbness, breathe through the ache, and encounter God, even in the freeze.

Includes Scripture, reflections, breath prayers, and grounding prompts for 7 days of stillness, presence, and hope.

Book cover titled 'Faith in the Freeze' with a subtitle 'A Devotional for When You're Spiritually Stuck,' featuring a background image of a rainy, snow-covered city street.
