“Be still, and know that I am God” is one of those verses most of us have heard our whole lives—and quietly moved past.

In this episode, I sit with that line again, not as a command to calm down or try harder, but as something that finally made sense in a different way. We talk about why the verse often feels unhelpful, what it actually means beneath the surface, and why it tends to show up right in the middle of chaos instead of after things settle.

No sermon. No answers handed out.
Just an honest look at a familiar line, and what happens when you stop trying to manage it.

Take it for what it’s worth—and let it sit.

Birthdays are strange. We celebrate them loudly when we’re young, then slowly stop wanting to talk about them at all. Somewhere along the way, getting older starts to feel like loss instead of proof that we were here.

In this episode, I talk about why we wait until someone dies to say what their life meant — and what happens when you stop waiting. About the people you’ve helped without knowing it, the moments that mattered without announcing themselves, and the quiet ways a life leaves fingerprints behind.

This isn’t about death.
It’s about noticing your life while you’re still living it.

Pull up a chair.

This is The Bartender’s Perspective.

It’s not advice. It’s not motivation.
It’s what you notice when you’ve spent years listening to people talk — when they’re relaxed, frustrated, honest, or trying to figure themselves out.

Stories, observations, and reflections drawn from behind the bar and real life beyond it. No performance. No pretending to have it all figured out. Just paying attention and saying what’s actually there.

New episodes coming soon.
