In Episode 4 of Shadows, Justin reflects on the moving horizon — the tendency to reach something we once thought would finally make us feel settled, only to find ourselves already chasing the next thing.

Through personal reflection on becoming a Program Director, building a pharmacy technician program, burnout, ambition, and the quiet pressure to keep proving ourselves, this episode explores how good desires can become restless when we ask them to give us what only Christ can give.

This episode is an invitation to pause, notice what God has already done, and ask a difficult but important question:

When is it enough?

Scripture referenced:

• Philippians 4:11–13

In Episode 3 of Shadows, Justin reflects on the trap of comparison and how measuring our lives against others can quietly steal our joy, distort our perspective, and distract us from our own God-given path.

Through personal stories about mountain biking, fitness, faith, and life's expectations, this episode explores how comparison often reveals what we truly value and why Christ's counsel in Matthew 6:21 remains so relevant today.

This episode is an invitation to stop measuring yourself against someone else's highlight reel, appreciate how far you've come, and refocus your heart on what matters most.

Scriptures referenced:
• Matthew 6:21

In Episode 2 of Shadows, Justin explores how fear often disguises itself as wisdom, caution, and practicality, quietly keeping us from moving forward in faith.

Through personal experiences, scriptural examples, and lessons from Nephi, Joshua, Peter, and Ether 12, this episode examines the fear of not being enough, the fear of rejection, and the fear that demands certainty before action.

This episode is an invitation to trust God with the next step, move forward despite uncertainty, and recognize when fear is masquerading as wisdom.

Scriptures referenced:
• 1 Nephi 17
• Ether 12
• Joshua 1
• Doctrine and Covenants 6

In Episode 1 of Shadows, Justin explores how distraction, busyness, overstimulation, and doom scrolling quietly pull us away from peace, stillness, and spiritual connection.

Using teachings from the Book of Mormon, this episode examines how modern life keeps us constantly occupied, emotionally exhausted, and “slow to remember the Lord.”

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with God, and create intentional stillness in a noisy world.

Scriptures referenced:
• 2 Nephi 28
• Helaman 12
• Doctrine and Covenants 88

Shadows is a series within From Hollow to Holy focused on exposing the distractions, fears, pride, shame, and spiritual patterns that quietly pull people away from peace, truth, purpose, and God.

Through scripture, honest reflection, and practical application, this series explores how ancient warnings from the Book of Mormon still appear in modern life today.

This Series will dive into my personal experiences and how through personal reflection I've been able to see these tactics play out in my life. I'm not here to narrate my life to the world. I'm here to share experiences that I believe a lot of us go through and share and reflect on how I handled them regardless of the outcome. 

The goal is not fear.
The goal is waking up.
