Shiny Object Syndrome: Why You’re Always Starting Over Spiritually (And How to Stop)

Are you constantly jumping from one thing to the next—one church, one devotional, one big idea—without ever feeling full or fulfilled?

In this episode, we’re calling out Shiny Object Syndrome in the church, in ministry, and in our personal walk with Christ. If you're overcommitted, easily distracted, or spiritually drained, this one’s for you. 

We dig deep and talk about the original queen of distraction—Martha—and how her story reveals the danger of chasing doing over dwelling. From burnout in service to comparing spiritual journeys on social media, we explore why so many believers are tired, unfocused, and unfulfilled.

What NOT to Say to Singles

This episode of the True North Podcast takes a hard look at the kind of advice often given to Christian singles—phrases like “maybe you’re just meant to be single” or “it’ll happen when you least expect it.” While they may sound spiritual, much of this advice isn’t rooted in biblical truth and can lead to confusion, discouragement, or even settling outside of God’s will.

We talk about what the Bible really says about waiting seasons, why your prayers for a spouse aren’t being ignored, and how to wait expectantly, not idly. With examples like Ruth and Boaz, this episode offers faith-based encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, unseen, or weary in their season of singleness. The wait isn’t worthless—it’s worth God's timing.

How to Live the Word, Not Just Listen

In this episode, we dive deep into James 1 and 2 to explore what it really means to be doers of the Word—not just hearers. Too often, faith becomes something we hear on Sundays but forget on Mondays. But James challenges us to live differently.

This is not just another Bible study — it’s a call to action. If you’ve been feeling spiritually passive, or wondering how to align your faith with how you treat others, this conversation is for you.
