In a world that's louder, faster, and more divided than ever, Bearing a Burden dares to slow down and dig deeper. This podcast explores the real, often messy challenges we face from within ourselves to navigating family, marriage, freedom, identity, and culture in a society that often demands we choose extremes. Host Nova leads honest, grounded conversations about how to carry the heavy loads we’re given without letting them break us and how to find balance, grace, and even strength in the tension. If you're looking for thoughtful discussion, practical reflection, and the occasional hard truth wrapped in compassion, welcome. You’ve found your place.
