Slow Down, Look Up: Finding God in the Present with Kate Merrick | Ep. 32

Slow Down, Look Up: Finding God in the Present with Kate Merrick | Ep. 32

What if the best parts of your life are already right in front of you… But you’re too distracted to see them?

In this deeply moving and honest episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with Kate Merrick, author, speaker, surfer, mom, and co-owner of Channel Islands Surfboards, for a conversation about slowing down, living intentionally, and refusing to miss the moments that matter. Kate opens up about the painful loss of her daughter, Daisy, to cancer, the sacred season their family spent unplugged in Israel, and how God taught her to "look up" and embrace the beauty in front of her.

From Sabbath rhythms to flipping the script on social media, this is a timely conversation about presence, motherhood, grief, and fighting back against the noise of our culture.

Guest Bio:

Kate Merrick is a writer, speaker, mother, and co-founder of the Reality Family of Churches. After losing her daughter, Daisy, to cancer, Kate stepped away from social media and reoriented her life around faith, family, and presence. She is the author of And Still She Laughs and Here, Now—two powerful books on joy through suffering and finding God in the present moment. Alongside her husband Britt, Kate now helps run their family’s business, Channel Islands Surfboards, and finds joy in gardening, homemaking, hiking, surfing, and living slow in coastal California.
