090 – The Peace God Offers in the Slow Moments with A.C. Seiple
What if the stress you carry isn’t a spiritual failure, but an invitation from God to pay attention to your body, your soul, and His presence?
In today’s episode, licensed counselor, retreat leader, and author A.C. Seiple joins Missy to talk about her new book, “The Sacred Art of Slowing Down.” They talk about why our bodies communicate more to our brains than we realize, why “being” can feel so uncomfortable, and how God designed us with remarkable systems to help us return to safety and rest. This conversation is rich, honest, and deeply encouraging, especially if you’ve been living life at lightning speed.
You’ll Hear About:
-
Why 80% of communication moves from the body to the brain, and how stress rewires our reactions more than we think.
-
The discomfort of “being” instead of “doing” and why slowing down often reveals what we’ve been avoiding.
-
How God compassionately meets us in our stress responses, inviting us back into safety, connection, and soul-level healing.
Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Welcome Friends!
My name is Missy, and I love Jesus!
I am a Christ-follower, wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and host of the Bold Faith Now podcast. My heart is to encourage believers to live boldly for Jesus in a world that often tells us to stay quiet, blend in, or keep our faith tucked safely in the shadows.
Through writing, speaking, and podcasting, I help believers grow in bold faith, stand firm in truth, and view the world through a biblical worldview. Because following Jesus was never meant to be passive. It is a call to shine His light, speak truth with grace, and take the next obedient step.
My prayer is simple: to point others to Jesus, encourage bold faith, and remind believers that now is the time to live courageously for Him. Join the Bold Faith community and listen to the podcast for encouragement to live out your faith with conviction, clarity, and courage.
