Where is your faith?
In this episode of Resilience Talk, Paul Spencer discusses the very real anxieties of loss, global turmoil, and business pressure so many are carrying right now. Paul brings the focus again and again to a question that matters deeply: “Where’s your faith?” The conversation moves from honest acknowledgment of overwhelm and fragility, toward practical ways to nurture spiritual capital and become more present—at work, at home, and inside yourself.
Key Highlights
- The discussion begins with the emotional weight of current crises—personal, social, environmental—and acknowledges the persistent uncertainty business owners face today.
- Paul highlights that when business, wealth, reputation, and even family are stripped away, what’s left is faith, calling it the last real pillar in a season of loss.
- “The gift of awareness” surfaces as a foundational practice, encouraging listeners to notice their own faith and take time to reflect on its presence (or absence).
- Small, tangible shifts—like taking a quiet walk, reading, giving yourself 15 minutes for prayer, or simply being still—are given as honest starting points for spiritual work.
- The Wheel of Life is discussed as a tool to spot neglected areas—especially spiritual capital—that often fall to the bottom of a busy owner’s list.
- Paul explains how our energy levels and reactions (like feeling victimized or defensive) reveal our internal state, reminding us that courage is needed to step away from constant motion and do “work on the inside.”
- Building spiritual capital is described as ongoing, personal work that often requires community; Paul invites listeners to reach out and not shoulder it alone.
