Episode 81 of The Walk A Little Slower Podcast with Tanner Olson


About Continue: Poems and Prayers of Hope:


"This book was written for you.

For the ordinary person made extraordinary in Christ who's working through life.

For those of us that burn our toast on Monday mornings. For those of us that need our cup-of-joe to be more creamer than coffee. For those of us who have specific playlists to fit each and every one of our moods. For those of us who chase little ones around the house trying to get them ready for a busy school day.

This poetry is for you.

My hope is, through these 100+ poems and prayers, you will find hope in Christ and the motivation to continue through your days."

There Are Two Sides To Everything with Gabrielle Grace


Gabrielle Grace


About Gabrielle Grace

Born in small-town, southeast Texas and based in Nashville, Tennessee, Gabrielle Grace is a singer/songwriter whose folk-pop melodies command your attention while her lyrics make you honestly wrestle with a rollercoaster of emotions, but never leave you without at least an ounce of hope. Grace made her musical debut in 2021 with her 6-song EP, “We’ll be Alright,” that eventually made its way to #16 on iTunes’ singer/songwriter charts. Then, in May 2022, Grace released a standalone single “Lost Somebody Else” that grapples with the nuances of life and loss while beckoning you to keep dancing through it all with its shiny indie-pop vibe. After writing new music to process through some life-altering experiences, months of work in the studio, and the backing of wonderful supporters Gabrielle Grace is poised to release her debut full-length album "There Are Two Sides to Everything" on June 15th, 2023. Its songs are certain to take you on a journey of the depths of pain and heights of joy that Grace has felt over recent months; she hopes that as it releases it will find a place in the complex parts of her listeners' stories as well.

Brittany DiSalvo


About Sincerely, Light

"Every inch of creation is a love letter waiting to be discovered. The intricate designs imprinted into light, little twigs, and giant trees alike all contain the fingerprints of the divine. 

In Brittany DiSalvo’s stunning poetry debut, Sincerely, Light, DiSalvo brings together a brilliant collection of observations foraged from nature and life itself that celebrates the love that breathed us into being. 

Through DiSalvo’s spectacular attention to detail, these poems act as declarations of worship. DiSalvo’s poetry is like a magnet that pulls your heart deeper into wonder, with each piece offering a deeply wrought hope that the things now shrouded in darkness will be abundantly brightened by Light."

Sacred Strides with Justin McRoberts


Justin McRoberts


About Sacred Strides by Justin McRoberts

"In this fresh look at finding balance between work and sabbath rest, Justin McRoberts leads readers on their journey from false self to true self, discovering that growth and maturity take root in the knowledge of their belovedness in Christ.

In his two decades working as a full-time artist and spiritual guide, Justin McRoberts has experienced first-hand the tension between "The Hustle" and "Self Care." In recent years, that conversation has turned to argument as people have suggested that one is more important than the other. But Justin disagrees entirely with such a one-sided approach.

Justin says, "My natural posture is not work, nor is my natural posture rest. My natural posture is belovedness, and both work and rest spring from my belovedness, and return me to it." In this book, he uses humorous and poignant stories to help readers discover the deep truths about us being laborers for/with Christ, empowered by the Spirit, as well as worshipers of God the Father. Readers will learn how

  • Sabbath is a gift and a practice that frees us from the anxiety of proving ourselves

  • They are loved and valued by God for who and whose they are—not for what they do

  • Rest is not the absence of work; it is what gives work meaning

  • We can love our world and the people in it through what we do

    We are not tools in God's tool belt, valued only for our gifts and talents. Nor are we ascetics called to abandon "daily life" to find God in the desert and just sit there. We are beloved by the One who holds all things together . . . including our need to work and our need to rest."

As You Hold What Has Become (poem)

When you turn around and see what has come to be, 

I hope you give yourself some grace as you hold what has become. 

For all that was and all that is, let all of this be a reminder that you found a way to make it through and to another day. 

You pushed and fell your way forward, tripped and stumbled, got turned around, mixed up, lost, and found. 

You took leaps of faith while being carried every step of the way. 

You were carried every step of the way. 

And through the change and trying and the seasons of trying to change, here you remain. 

Push back if you may, but you are loved all the same.

You’ve got pockets full of unanswered prayers and prayers answered in ways you never saw coming your way. 

You’ve made it through fight after fight, and night after night, you have been welcomed again and again by the gracious morning light.

And maybe you’re like me and are beginning to believe everything is going to be alright.You’ve grown and gone on, returned and been wrong.

You’ve wished and wondered and waited for this and that and the other.

You’ve searched and fought, been found and lost in thought.You’ve tried to not lose your mind or believe the lie that you are behind.
Before you go on, hold what has been handed to you.
The broken and beautiful.
The sorrow and joy.
The heaviness and heartbreak.
The miracles and mysteries.
And as another new beginning arrives, open your hands and breathe.
Turn around and see that goodness will continue to follow you and me.
I hope you give yourself some grace as you hold what has become.
