Faith isn’t just one area of your life—it’s the foundation for everything else. In this episode of Anchored with Purpose, Melissa dives deep into the Faith & Spiritual Life Anchor, part of the Anchored in Every Area series. Between work, kids, laundry, and to-do lists, faith can easily get crowded out. But as Matthew 7:24–25 reminds us, when we build our lives on the rock of Christ, we can withstand any storm. Melissa shares statistics about Mass attendance, prayer, and Bible reading, and explains why consistent faith practices bring lasting joy, purpose, and resilience. You’ll also hear her personal journey of staying anchored in faith through life’s busy and dry seasons, and get practical tips for making faith an intentional part of your daily rhythm.
