Ep. 21: Missing God in Your Business? Your Road to Emmaus Moment

You’ve been building in His name, praying for guidance — but still feel alone in the work.

This episode is for the moments when you can’t see God in your business.
Katie shares a reframe from Luke 24 that might change everything.

Recorded in the stillness of her silent retreat, Katie walks us through the Road to Emmaus — a story of presence, disappointment, and rediscovered clarity.
This isn't a devotional. It's a strategy shift. A sacred diagnostic for the woman leading with vision and spiritual fatigue.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

👣 A reframe for business disappointment and divine presence
🍞 How clarity often comes in the breaking moments
👀 Questions to unpack your blind spots
🔄 The “Ibu Ibu” rhythm of one faithful step at a time
✝️ A 2026 word of focus that could anchor your year
🕊️ The reminder you’ve been craving: He’s walking with you

“His presence is not dependent on your perception. He’s been here all along.”
