WP191 | Why Christian Practice Owners Need Each Other: The Case for Community, Connection, and Building Together in Faith - Podcast Takeover with Amy Dover
Watch on YouTube
What if building your practice alone isn’t strength, but isolation?
Y’all, practice ownership can feel lonely real quick. You’re making decisions about money, hiring, marketing, systems, leadership, and growth while also trying to stay grounded in your values and your faith.
In this episode, Amy Dover wraps up her Wise Practice Podcast takeover with a conversation for Christian practice owners who feel called to build something bigger but are tired of carrying it all by themselves.
Amy shares the unique tension of running a faith-aligned business, why community matters so much for practice owners, and what changed in her own practice when she stopped making every decision from gut feeling and started leaning into support, strategy, and wise counsel.
She also talks about the real cost of isolation, the spiritual importance of being sharpened by others, and why managing is not the same as thriving.
You Were Never Meant to Build Your Practice Alone
Practice ownership can get lonely real quick, y’all. You can be surrounded by clients, team members, family, church friends, and people who genuinely love you, and still feel like nobody fully understands the weight you are carrying as a practice owner. There is a difference between having people around you and having people who truly understand what it feels like to hold the clinical work, the business decisions, the financial pressure, the leadership responsibility, and the spiritual discernment all at once.
That weight can feel especially heavy for Christian practice owners. You are not just trying to build something profitable. You are trying to build something faithful. You are trying to make wise business decisions while also honoring your values, your calling, your team, your clients, and the Lord. That is a lot to carry, and if you have been trying to carry all of it by yourself, I want you to hear this clearly: you were never meant to build alone.
Practice Owners Need Community Too
As therapists, we would never tell a client to just figure everything out on their own. We believe in support, perspective, wise counsel, and relationship. We know that people have blind spots that they cannot always see from the inside. We know that healing and growth often happen when someone is brave enough to let another person sit with them in the hard places.
But then we become practice owners, and somehow we start telling ourselves the exact opposite. We convince ourselves that needing help means we are not capable. We think we should already know how to handle hiring, marketing, finances, compensation, leadership, systems, and growth. We tell ourselves we are fine because we have made it this far.
But managing is not the same thing as thriving. Surviving is not the same thing as growing. And just because you have carried something alone for a long time does not mean it was ever meant to be carried that way.
The Unique Tension Christian Practice Owners Carry
Every business owner has pressure. Every therapist has clinical responsibility. But Christian practice owners carry a layered tension that not everybody understands. You are trying to make decisions that are ethical, sustainable, strategic, and financially wise, while also asking whether those decisions line up with your faith and the way God has called you to lead.
Sometimes the most financially sound decision does not feel like the most faithful one. Sometimes, a business strategy that works really well in another setting does not sit right in your spirit. Sometimes you are holding your clinical knowledge, business knowledge, legal awareness, financial reality, team needs, client care, and faith all at the same time, and they are not all pointing in the same direction.
That is why Christian practice owners need rooms where the whole picture is understood. You need a place where you can talk about money and mission in the same conversation. You need people who understand that your practice is a business, but it is also part of your calling. You need people who can help you think wisely and pray faithfully.
Isolation Has a Cost
A lot of practice owners normalize isolation. They assume it is just part of ownership. They think making every decision alone is simply what it means to be the boss. But isolation is not neutral. It costs you something.
When you are making decisions about growing from solo to group, hiring your first therapist, creating compensation structures, building systems, or leading a team without outside perspective, you are often making those decisions with incomplete information. You are working from your gut, your assumptions, and whatever you can piece together from other practice owners who may or may not actually know what they are doing.
And sometimes your gut is right. But sometimes your gut is just familiar. Sometimes what feels right is only what you have always done. Sometimes it is what you saw someone else do. Sometimes it is what feels manageable in the moment, even if it is not the healthiest long-term decision for the practice. That is why data matters. That is why strategy matters. That is why wise counsel and community matter.
Isolation Has a Spiritual Cost Too
The cost of isolation is not just strategic. It is spiritual. When you are carrying everything alone, the admin, the clinical work, the marketing, the finances, the hiring, the culture, and the vision, you can become so consumed with doing that you stop being. You stop creating margin. You stop slowing down enough to pray. You stop making space to listen for what God may be saying about the direction of your practice.
Before long, you can start operating in your own strength because there is no one close enough to remind you that you do not have to. You keep pushing, problem-solving, and carrying, and it can start to feel like faithfulness when really it may just be exhaustion dressed up as responsibility.
God designed us for connection. Scripture tells us that iron sharpens iron, and that kind of sharpening does not happen in isolation. We need people who can encourage us, challenge us, pray with us, speak truth to us, and remind us of who God is when we forget.
Community Changes the Way You Lead
When you get into the right kind of community, you stop making every decision in the dark. You get perspective from people who have been down the road before you. You learn to look at your numbers instead of guessing. You begin noticing patterns in your systems, your leadership, your team culture, and your own decision-making.
That kind of support changes the way you lead. You are no longer making choices from fear, panic, or whatever feels urgent that day. You start making decisions from clarity. You have people who can ask better questions, point out what you may be missing, and help you slow down long enough to make a wise next move instead of just a fast one.
Community also gives you people who can celebrate with you when something finally starts working. Practice ownership has so many quiet wins that nobody else really sees. When you have people around you who understand what it took to make that hire, fix that system, have that hard conversation, or finally look at your numbers, those wins do not have to happen alone.
Amy’s Story Is Such a Powerful Example
In this episode, Amy Dover shares what changed for her when she found the Wise Practice community in 2023. At that point, she had already been building Dover Counseling for eight years. She had made a lot of decisions from instinct and gut feeling, which so many practice owners do, especially when they are building without a clear roadmap.
Once Amy stepped into consulting and community, things began to shift in a very real way. She transitioned her practice from 1099 to W2. She clarified her identity as a Christian private practice. She implemented a new marketing strategy. She revamped systems, rebuilt her clinical team, developed a leadership team, and created a mission statement, vision statement, and core values that now guide how her practice hires, operates, and serves clients.
That is a lot of transformation in a short amount of time. But the point is not that Amy simply tried harder or became more disciplined overnight. The point is that she stopped doing it alone. She had the right people around her, and that changed the quality of her decisions, her leadership, and the future of her practice.
Managing Is Not the Same as Thriving
One of the biggest lies practice owners believe is, “I’m doing okay, so I don’t really need help.” And maybe you are doing okay. Maybe the bills are getting paid. Maybe clients are coming in. Maybe your team is functioning. Maybe, from the outside, everything looks fine.
But okay is not always the goal. You can be functioning and still be exhausted. You can be successful and still be lonely. You can be growing and still be making decisions from fear, pressure, or guesswork. You can look like you are managing while quietly wondering how long you can keep carrying everything this way.
If a client told you they were fine because they had made it this far alone, you would probably hear what was underneath that sentence. You would know that just because someone can carry something does not mean they should have to. Practice owners deserve that same kind of honesty and care.
Growing a Practice Takes More Than Information
There is a lot of information out there about building a group practice. You can listen to podcasts, read blogs, download resources, search online, and try to piece together the next right step. Those things can be helpful, but information alone is not always enough.
At some point, you need guidance that fits your actual practice, your actual numbers, your actual team, and your actual season of life. You need people who can help you apply what you are learning instead of just giving you more content to consume. You need support that helps you move from idea to implementation.
Growing a practice is not just about hiring more clinicians or increasing revenue. It is an identity shift. It asks you to move from clinician to CEO. It asks you to lead people, build systems, make hard decisions, and steward something bigger than yourself. That is holy work, and it is hard work.
Who Built to Last Is For
Built to Last is for the solo practice owner who feels called to something bigger, even if that calling feels scary. It is for the owner who has been thinking about starting a group practice but keeps waiting until they feel ready. It is for the owner who has already hired one therapist and realizes there is a lot more to this than they expected.
It is also for the Christian practice owner who wants to grow in a way that honors God. This is for the person who wants to understand the numbers, build the systems, think through compensation, hire well, market clearly, and lead with wisdom, but does not want to leave faith out of the conversation.
Built to Last is a six-month mastermind for Christian practice owners who are growing from solo practice to group practice. It includes live Zoom meetings every other week and covers the pieces that matter most, including systems, financials, marketing, compensation, hiring, onboarding, money mindset, and the shift from clinician to CEO.
You Do Not Have to Build Alone
The practice God is calling you to build may be a little bigger, a little braver, and a little more than what you have now. That can feel exciting and terrifying at the same time. You may not feel ready. You may not know all the steps. You may still have questions about whether you have the resources, courage, or knowledge to get there.
But you do not have to figure it all out by yourself. The community you are looking for does exist. The people who understand the faith piece, the business piece, the clinical piece, and the leadership piece are out there.
And when you find the right room, it can change everything.

[00:00:54] Hi, I'm Whitney Owens. I'm a group practice owner and faith-based practice consultant, and I'm here to tell you
[00:01:00] that you can have it all. Wanna grow your practice? Wanna grow your faith? Wanna enjoy your life outside of work? You've come to the right place.
[00:01:08] Each week on the Wise Practice Podcast, I will give you the action steps to have a successful faith-based practice while also having a good time. Now let's get started
[00:01:20] Jingle: Where she grows your practice, and she don't play. She does business with a twist of faith. It's Whitney Owens and the Wise Practice Podcast.
[00:01:29] Whitney Owens and the Wise Practice Podcast.
[00:01:39] Whitney Owens: Hey, hey, and welcome back to the podcast. Thank you for joining me today. You were at the last episode in a podcast takeover series with my girl, Amy Dover. She's one of the Wise Practice consultants. She has been on the team for years and has a wealth of knowledge to bring about many things, but especially about group practice ownership, and her faith and commitment inspire me.
[00:02:02] Over the years, she has been someone that I have personally gone to when I have things in my practice, and I also go to her when I need prayer. When I need someone to bring spiritual wisdom and guidance to me, she's someone that I have relied on many times, and our friendship has become beautiful over the years, and I'm excited to be able to have you get to know her because she can bring you that spiritual discernment, but also that strategy and directness.
[00:02:29] I love that she brings a nurturing presence, but a very direct presence because she's looking out for your best interest. So you're gonna love this podcast series. Today, she's gonna talk about why Christian practice owners need one another, and I can certainly tell you that I have needed her over the years.
[00:02:46] So it's a big challenge as practice owners that we feel like we've gotta do it on our own, or sometimes as Christians, like it's weak if we h- have to lean on one another, and that is certainly not the case. We cannot do it alone, and it's when we do it in community, it's when we do it with a guide, that we go further and do more together.
[00:03:05] So this podcast is for you. She brings much to the table, and I'm excited for you to get to know Amy. She's also launching a mastermind group at the, uh, starting in July. So if you've been thinking about starting a group practice and you're not really sure, that group is for you. I've seen her walk many practice owners through the process of starting a group practice.
[00:03:26] Actually, one of them particularly comes to mind at this moment who did this group last year with Amy, and now he's sitting at nine therapists in his practice, right? Incredible. And I know that might sound intimidating and overwhelming, but when you have a guide with you, when you have a community with you, you can go further than you ever thought you could.
[00:03:46] So if you've been thinking about starting a group practice or you have questions about group practice, please reach out to Amy at amy@wisepracticeconsulting.com. We are here for you. We're excited for you. We wanna help you reach the goals that God has put in your heart. So we're gonna jump into the episode, Why Christian Practice Owners Need Each Other: A Case for Community, Connection, and Building Our Faith Together.
[00:04:13] Amy Dover: Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Wise Practice podcast. My name is Amy Dover. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, owner of Dover Counseling Services in Enterprise, Alabama, and a Wise Practice consultant. This is the last episode of this four-part podcast takeover I've been able to do for the month of June, and I'm so glad that you're hanging with me for this last one.
[00:04:34] I hope that they have all given you just some things to think about, to chew on, some prayer, to pray over, and, uh, again, just really glad that you've been able to spend this time with me. It is, it is my honor. So I want to start today with a question, and I want you to actually sit with it for a second before you answer it, because you've probably gotten this question before.
[00:04:56] What would you say to a potential client who told you that they didn't need therapy, that they were fine on their own, that they could figure things out by themselves, that asking for help was a sign of weakness, or that paying someone to sit with them and their struggles felt unnecessary, maybe even a little indulgent?
[00:05:17] What would you say to that person? You've probably had this happen before, like I said, and, and I certainly have I'm gonna guess that you would say something about the value of perspective, about how we all have blind spots that we can't see from the inside, about how God designed us to be in relationship, not in isolation, about how the bravest thing a person can sometimes do is ask for help when they need it.
[00:05:41] And good, those are all good answers, and I want you to hold onto your answer because everything you would say to a client is exactly what I would say to you today about community as a practice owner. Let me start by naming something that I think every Christian practice owner in this audience already feels, even if they haven't found the words for it yet.
[00:06:02] We hold a unique tension, not just the tension of running a business, because every entrepreneur has that, not just the tension of clinical work, every therapist has that, but a specific layered, sometimes exhausting tension that is ours in a way that very few people in the world fully understand. We are trying to do business ethically and with integrity.
[00:06:27] We are trying to honor our calling and our values in every decision we make. We are trying to be financially sustainable because we have to be in order to keep serving our communities. And at the same time, we are holding a faith that sometimes puts us in direct collision with what the business world would call the obvious or optimal choice.
[00:06:48] And I actually come into that, um, I mean, at least a weekly, sometimes multiple times a week, where I have this... I'm holding this tension of, I really need to make this decision, and it would be easy to make it looking at the business side of things. But when I throw in my faith and my values and how they align with it, it's not such an easy decision.
[00:07:08] We make decisions like that and hold that tension all the time. What do you do when the most financially sound decision doesn't feel like the most faithful one? What do you do when a business strategy that works beautifully in a secular context feels like it compromises something you believe about how God calls you to treat people?
[00:07:27] What do you do when you're sitting with a hard call, and the answer requires you to hold your clinical knowledge, your business acumen, your legal awareness, and your faith all at the same time, and none of those things are pointing in exactly the right direction, or excuse me, the same direction? That is the tension.
[00:07:45] And here's the thing about that tension. You cannot process it in a room that doesn't understand all the pieces. You need a room where it is all understood, where you can name the faith piece and the business piece and the clinical piece in the same breath and have people around you who nod because they are living it too.
[00:08:04] That room is not easy to find, but it does exist, and it changes everything when you find it. I want to talk for a minute about what it actually costs you to build alone because I think a lot of practice owners have normalized the isolation to the point where they don't even recognize it as a problem anymore.
[00:08:22] It just feels like the price of ownership, the way things are supposed to be. But isolation actually has a cost, and I want to name it as specifically as I can. When you are making decisions about growing from solo to group, when to hire, who to hire, how to structure compensation, how to build your systems without outside perspective, you are making those decisions with incomplete information and no accountability.
[00:08:49] You're working from your gut, from assumptions and whatever you can piece together from other practice owners who may or may not know what they're doing, and you guys know how I feel about that. And you won't always know the difference until the consequences show up. So I spent years making decisions from what felt right.
[00:09:08] It just felt right. And sometimes what felt right was actually right, but sometimes it was just familiar. Sometimes it was just what I'd always done or what I'd seen someone else do with no real understanding of whether it was working or why. It wasn't until I got into community and started learning to read, to lead from data, to read the data, and then to lead from the data, from actual numbers and metrics and informed strategy that I realized how many of my decisions had been driven by feeling rather than clarity Isolation also has a spiritual cost that I think we underestimate.
[00:09:46] When you are carrying everything alone, the admin, the clinical work, the marketing, the finances, the hiring, the culture, the vision, we become so consumed with what we're doing that we stop being. We stop having the margin to pray, to listen, to be still, and hear what God is actually saying about the direction of our practices.
[00:10:09] We don't, we don't start operating in our own strength, or we, we start operating, excuse me, in our own strength because there's no one around to remind us that we don't have to. And I've mentioned in just in, you know, these episodes for this month that, oh, that is my tendency. I default to that if I'm not careful with my time and, and making sure that I have margin built into my schedule, and I can tell when I don't have that margin and that ability to set time, to set, to set time as- aside, excuse me, for talking to God and being with him and being in his presence and really hearing what he's trying to say to me.
[00:10:47] What we know to be true from scripture and from experience is that iron sharpens iron. God designed his children to be in connection, not just for efficiency or strategy, but for sharpening, for growth, and for the kind of accountability that makes us more of who he created us to be. The solo practice owner who is carrying everything alone is not just tired.
[00:11:09] They are operating outside of the design, and that has consequences that go far beyond the business. If you are exhausted, if you are making decisions in the dark, if you are lying awake at night trying to figure out the problems that someone else has already solved and would gladly help you with, that is not faithfulness.
[00:11:29] That is isolation, and you were never meant to live there. I don't want to make the philosophical case for community. I want to tell you what it actually produced in my practice, in my leadership, in my life, because I think sometimes we need to see the fruit before we believe a seed is worth planting. So I found the Wise Practice community in twenty twenty-three, and I've been very open about all of that, just kind of where I was in my practice growth and my life at that point.
[00:11:57] So eight years into building Dover Counseling And I'm gonna be honest about this. Part of me grieves that I waited so long, but the other part of me is deeply grateful because I can see with absolute clarity the difference between before and after. Before getting consulting, I was making decis- decisions largely from gut feeling.
[00:12:18] I know you guys know what I'm talking about. From what seemed right, what felt manageable, what I'd seen other owners do. I had supportive people around me, but I didn't have peers who were in it with me, people who were in the same season, wrestling with the same questions, building the same kind of practice.
[00:12:36] After getting consulting and being in community with other practice owners, and I want to be very specific here because I think the specifics matter, I have so much more clarity on how to move, how to steward well. I understand the importance of data in a way I never did before. I understand that good decisions are not just made from what feels right.
[00:12:59] They're made from what the numbers are telling me, what my systems are revealing, what people who have been down the road before me are saying. I have access to peers who love Jesus and who I can seek s- support and guidance from, and that changes the quality of every decision that I make And here's the fruit.
[00:13:18] Since getting my own consulting and starting the Wise Practice community in twenty twenty-three, again, eight years into my practice, I transitioned over counseling from a ten ninety-nine to a W2 practice. I pivoted to a clearly identified Christian private practice and implemented a brand new marketing strategy.
[00:13:37] I completely revamped my systems. I rebuilt my clinical team. I identified and built a solid leadership team, and I developed a mission statement, a vision statement, and core values that now govern how we operate and how we hire and how we serve our clients. All of that in two years. And, ooh, just saying it out loud, ooh, makes me tired
[00:14:00] That is a lot of things to accomplish in two years. But I didn't have to do it alone. I'm no longer on my own. And I sometimes I reflect, gosh, Amy, imagine what could have happened if you had not been alone the first eight years. So this is-- What I just said to you about the changes that I, I experienced in my own practice, that good fruit, those are not a list of feelings.
[00:14:23] Those were transformations, concrete, measurable, visible transformations in the practice because I had finally found the right people around me. I also wanna say something about the relational piece of community that goes beyond strategy and decisions. There's something deeply life-giving about being in a room with other believers who are doing what you're doing, who understand the weight of it, who can pray with you over a hard decision, celebrate with you when something works, and speak truth to you when you need to hear it.
[00:14:53] That kind of connection doesn't just make your business better, it makes you better as a leader, a person, and as a follower of Jesus. I wanna come back to where we started because I know there are practice owners listening to this episode who are nodding along but still have a quiet voice in the back of their head saying, "But I'm doing okay.
[00:15:12] I've made it this far. I don't really need a group or a mastermind or a community. I mean, I can keep figuring this out alone." And to that person, I wanna say gently and directly, what would you say to a client who came to you and said exactly that? What would you say to the person who had been white-knuckling their way through something hard, carrying it alone, functioning but not thriving, and who sat across from you and said, "I don't really need this.
[00:15:41] I've been managing fine alone." You would not say, "You're right. You seem fine. Go on home. Go about your business." You probably would say, "Managing is not the same as thriving. Surviving is not the same as growing. And the fact that you made it this far on your own doesn't mean that it's the best way forward.
[00:16:02] It just means that you're probably good at carrying weight that was never meant to be yours alone." That's my answer to you. Needing guidance and community is not a sign of weakness. It's not an admission that you don't know what you're doing. It is wisdom. It is alignment with the way God designed human beings to operate in relationship, in connection, sharpening and being sharpened.
[00:16:27] You would never look a struggling client in the eye and tell them to just figure it out alone. So stop telling yourself that. The practice owner who grows the fastest, made the best decisions, build the healthiest cultures, and sustain their growth over time, they are almost never the ones who did it alone.
[00:16:45] They are the ones who found their people and did it together. I wanna tell you about a person I have been building toward, that I've been building toward in everything I've shared in this episode, and all the episodes I hope that have been very helpful for you, whether you're solo or group. There's a particular person that I had in mind when, when I was writing this episode.
[00:17:05] So this person is a solo practice owner. Or maybe you're a, a practice owner who's hired your first therapist, and you have just a small team, you and one other person. And this practice owner knows deep in their spirit, the way you know things that God has planted in you, that they are called to something bigger.
[00:17:29] Group practice, a team, a broader reach, a practice that serves more people and outlasts them. Legacy And they're somewhere on the spectrum between terrified and excited, maybe mostly terrified, maybe equal parts both. Maybe they've been sitting on this call for months or years waiting until they feel ready, waiting until the fear goes away, waiting for some sign that it's the right time, and the waiting has started to feel less like wisdom and more like disobedience.
[00:18:02] Anybody hear me on that one? This person wants to honor God in this. They want to step out in obedience. They feel the pull towards something bigger, and they're not sure if they have the resources or the knowledge or the courage to get there. And they are carrying all of it right now, the admin, the clinical work, the marketing, the billing, the hiring questions, the culture questions, the money questions, all of it on their own shoulders, and they are so tired, and they are ready for something different.
[00:18:36] That's the person that Built to Last is for. That is the person that I'm building a room for, this amazing mastermind that I want you to consider joining if you are that person that I just described. I want you to know that when you go into that first session on July 9th and feel, maybe for the first time in a long time, I want you to know that you're not alone, that there are other people in the room who get it, who share your faith and your calling and your questions and your fears.
[00:19:07] I want this person to feel energized, excited, relieved, like they have finally found their people, like I did two years ago And six months later, when we close out our time together, when the mastermind draws to a close right before Christmas, I want this person to walk away empowered, knowledgeable, clear on their numbers, their systems, their compensation structure, their hiring processes, their vision, ready to make big decisions, not from a place of fear or guesswork or isolation, but from a place of clarity, community, and deep obedience to what God is calling them to build.
[00:19:50] So let me tell you about this specific room. Built to Last, Growing from a Solo Practice to a Group, launches on July ninth. It will run for six months. We meet live every other week through Zoom, and we go deep on everything that matters: systems, financials, marketing, compensation strategies for administrative staff and clinical staff, money mindset, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, the shift that changes everything, the one from clinician to CEO.
[00:20:22] And it's that identity shift, actually, that's the foundation that everything else is built on. It's so much more possible when you're walking through all of this with people who are doing the same thing. But more than just the curriculum and, and the topics that I just shared with you, Built to Last is a room.
[00:20:38] It's a room full of Christian practice owners who share your faith, understand your world, and are committed to building something that lasts. People who will pray with you and challenge you and celebrate with you. People who don't have to explain-- you don't have to explain yourself to. People who will sharpen you the way iron sharpens iron.
[00:20:58] It's a room that begins, uh, each meeting in prayer. I love to invite Holy Spirit to come into this, this virtual room with us and be with us during that hour. Uh, I always respectfully request His guidance and His wisdom during that hour, and that we will be able to understand what He is-- the path that He is showing us to do, that we will show up as His vessels.
[00:21:23] This is the room that I needed eight years ago and didn't have. The room-- This is the room I want to give you now So if you're the person I just described, if you feel that call in your bones and your spirit and you are ready to stop carrying it alone, I wanna invite you in. All the details and registration are at wisepracticeconsulting.com/masterminds.
[00:21:46] That link is in the show notes. Spots are limited because I want this to be an intimate, high-quality experience. And so if this is resonating with you, don't wait on it. And if you're not quite sure yet, if you're still on the fence, still asking God whether this is the right time, I just wanna offer you this.
[00:22:05] The fact that you've listened to this entire episode probably means something. Pay attention to that. And if you still need a little bit more clarity on it, really need to know a little bit more about if I'm the right person in the room with you, let me know. Send me an email at amy@wisepracticeconsulting.com.
[00:22:23] I'm happy to jump on a call with you to explain more details about Built to Last. There's also great discounts for Early Bird. That's in the show notes as well. If you are... Again, if you are this person I've described in the last few minutes, I definitely want you to prayerfully consider joining the Mastermind.
[00:22:40] Thank you for being here. Thank you for being with me in these last four episodes. And I have to say, June is probably one of my favorite months of the year, so I'm so honored that Whitney graciously allowed me to take over the podcast for these last four weeks. I wanna thank you for the work that you do and the calling that you carry and the courage it takes to keep showing up.
[00:23:01] Thank you. The community you're looking for does exist. The people who get it are out there, and the practice God is calling you to build, the one that's a little bigger, a little braver, a little more than what you have now, it is possible, and you don't have to build it alone. I hope that I get to see you in the room in July.
[00:23:22] Take care, guys
